Rotting root is one of them, balsam rotting root will seriously affect the growth of impatiens plant, affect its nutrition and water absorption and so on. So what happened to the rotting roots of impatiens? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Overwatering

Impatiens in the growth process, although there are certain requirements for water, but also pay attention to control the amount of water. If too much watering leads to stagnant water in the soil, the roots of impatiens can easily be rotten by water and cause rotten roots. Therefore, we must be moderate when watering, never watering too much or too frequently. Especially after impatiens enters the dormant period, the demand for water will decrease significantly, and the amount of water will be less during this period, which should be based on the principle that the soil is not dry or irrigated.

2. Soil permeability is poor.

Soil is very important for the growth of impatiens, and a good soil is the key to ensure the normal growth of impatiens. If the soil permeability is too poor, it will inhibit the respiration and absorption of impatiens roots. And will also breed a lot of germs, and then impatiens roots can not absorb nutrition, it is very easy to appear rotting root phenomenon. Therefore, when we plant impatiens, we must pay attention to the permeability of the soil to ensure that the roots of impatiens can breathe normally, and when we encounter stagnant water, we can discharge the stagnant water at the first time.

3. Improper fertilization

Impatiens should also be properly fertilized in the process of growth, so as to provide adequate growth nutrition for impatiens. However, when applying fertilizer, if the amount of fertilizer is too large or the concentration is too high, it is easy to burn out the roots of impatiens. Not only will the root rot occur, but the root may turn black, and in severe cases, the whole impatiens will die. Therefore, when we apply fertilizer, we must control the amount and take more and a small amount as the principle. If there is too much fertilizer, it should be properly watered and irrigated. The rotten roots should be cut off in time and disinfected.

4. Other reasons

And then it may be caused by some other reason. For example, too strong and weak light, soil hardening or being damaged by diseases and insect pests may cause impatiens rotting roots. Therefore, we should pay attention to maintain the surrounding environment of impatiens, control light, strengthen the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests and so on. When planting impatiens, if there is any abnormal situation of suspected diseases and insect pests, it is necessary to check the specific diseases and insect pests in time, and then take corresponding treatment measures.
