What is the reason for the rotten roots of gentleman orchids?

There are many reasons for rotten roots. The first is to water it too much. If the roots of the plant cannot breathe, they will rot. Therefore, less watering is needed. The second is improper fertilization, it will be very easy to apply large fertilizer to burn the roots, each time a little less fertilizer on the line. Finally, the temperature is not suitable, the high temperature will also make the temperature of the soil higher, which will cause rotten roots, so it is necessary to strictly control the curing temperature.

1. Too much watering

Clivia growth needs water is not particularly much, usually when farming every three or five watering is fully able to meet its growth needs. If you water too much, the soil becomes rich and the roots cannot breathe freely. Over time, it will lead to root rot. The solution is also very simple, reduce the frequency and amount of watering, and wait for it to recover slowly.

Second, too much fertilizer

Clivia is generally very easy to feed, usually need water and fertilizer are not particularly large. If fertilizer is given in particular, it will cause root burning, and the most intuitive is to cause root rot. So flower friends don't need to apply too much fertilizer to it at once, just a little less at a time.

Third, the temperature is too high

The most suitable temperature for breeding at ordinary times is about 22℃. If the temperature is too high, the roots are in the soil with higher temperature, and it is very easy to have rotten roots. Especially when raising seedlings, worry that the temperature is not enough to affect growth, in fact, long-term exposure to high temperatures will cause death. Therefore, reasonable temperature can make it grow better, and it must be given a comfortable growth environment when breeding.
