Causes and solutions for the rot of pearl spider plants

1. Pearl Chlorophytum prefers a humid and warm environment. It is resistant to high temperatures and cold. The most suitable temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees. Temperatures that are too high or too low will affect its growth, especially when the weather is hot, the plant has basically entered a dormant state, and rot may occur at this time.

2. Therefore, you must water less during this period. Once rot occurs, you must cut off the rotten parts in time, and then use other healthier parts that have not yet begun to rot to graft. Otherwise, the whole plant will rot quickly, affecting the health and survival of the plant.

Another possible cause is water accumulation in the flowerpot, or the soil is too sticky or compacted. The fibrous roots of the plant will rot and its ability to absorb water will decrease, which will cause the leaves of the plant to twist and turn black. If this is the case, you need to take out the plant, cut off the rotten roots, replace it with new clean, moist sandy soil and replant it. Keep the gravel moist and don't spray too much water. Wait until the tender new fibrous roots grow out before planting in more fertile soil.
