Root rot of hydroponic lucky bamboo

The weather is hot and humid in the summer. When you find that the leaves of lucky bamboo suddenly droop or turn yellow, you should take out the lucky bamboo, smell the roots to see if they are smelly, and pinch the roots to see if they are soft. If so, then the roots are rotten and you need to treat it immediately.

How to save lucky bamboo from root rot?

1. Use scissors to cut off rotten, soft, and smelly roots. If all the roots are rotten, cut off all the rooting areas until the cut is fresh and healthy.

2. Apply some carbendazim or potassium permanganate on the wound of the lucky bamboo, scrub the branches with carbendazim solution, and then place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry for half an hour.

3. Pour out the water in the original hydroponic bottle, and use hot water or alcohol or carbendazim to disinfect and clean the hydroponic bottle inside and out to prevent residual bacteria from causing root rot again.

4. Pour clean water into the disinfected hydroponic bottle again. The water level should occupy about 1/3 of the hydroponic bottle. Insert the lucky bamboo branches back into the hydroponic bottle. That's it. There are specific maintenance precautions below!

How to prevent lucky bamboo root rot?

1. The lucky bamboo you just bought home in the summer has not yet taken root, so change the water every two days to avoid turbid water, which will breed bacteria and cause stink and root rot.

2. If you want the newly bought lucky bamboo to take root as quickly as possible and reduce root rot, you can also put some aspirin powder or charcoal in the hydroponic bottle. Some flower lovers will also put a little salt. The purpose is to sterilize and disinfect, keep the water clean, and accelerate the rooting of the lucky bamboo.

3. Do not place lucky bamboo in direct sunlight or in a place that is too hot. The water temperature may be too high and cause root rot. It is best to place it in a bright living room, bedroom, study room, etc. with good ventilation and not too stuffy.

4. Do not fertilize lucky bamboo in summer, not too much or too often. Generally, 1 drop of nutrient solution per month is enough. Too much will easily burn or rot the roots.

Green radish root rot

Summer is the peak growth season for the green radish, but if it is over-watered, exposed to the sun and not ventilated, it is very easy to rot the roots. If you see large areas of yellowing and wilting leaves on the green radish, quickly peel off the leaves and check the roots. If they are black or soft, then the roots are rotten.

How to save the green radish from root rot?

1. Turn the green radish upside down from the flowerpot, shake off the soil, and clean the roots with clean water.

2. Cut off the black and soft roots of the green radish. If the stems are also rotten, cut off the rotten stems and roots, leaving only healthy stems.

3. Trim the rotten roots and stems of the green radish, and soak the remaining roots or lower parts of the branches in the carbendazim solution for 3-5 minutes, then take them out and dry them for 20 minutes.

4. Replant the green radish branches into the soil or hydroponic bottle. The soil must be clean and free of pathogens. You can use coconut bricks or leaf mold, mixed with some breathable perlite or sand.

5. After the cuttings of the green radish have been made, spray the soil surface with water but do not water it completely. Place it in a cool and ventilated place and wait for it to take root.

How to prevent root rot of green radish?

1. Do not overwater the green ivy in summer. Water it only when the surface soil in the pot is dry and white. There should not be any accumulation of water in the pot. Another point is not to water it during the high temperature at noon, as it will easily cause root rot. Water it in the morning and evening.

2. Another reason why many indoor green radishes die due to root rot is lack of ventilation. Therefore, when growing green radishes indoors, open the windows for at least 3 hours a day to keep ventilation, let it breathe fresh air, evaporate excess moisture, and reduce root rot.

3. In fact, the requirements of the potting soil for the green ivy are quite high. Pure garden soil is compacted and not breathable, and it is easy for the roots to rot. You must use loose and breathable soil, such as leaf mold or coconut brick, mixed with some perlite or sand.

4. Finally, it is forbidden to apply concentrated fertilizer to the green radish in summer, as it can easily burn the roots and cause rot. It is best to apply dilute liquid fertilizer and add more water. Once a month is enough.

Succulent root rot, black rot

Most succulents are dormant in the summer. If watering, ventilation, and temperature are not done well, the succulents will die. Therefore, once we encounter the situation that the leaves of succulents suddenly dry up, fall off, or the stems and leaves turn black, we must take timely measures.

How to save succulent plants with root rot?

1. Take the succulents out of the pot, shake off the soil, cut off the rotten roots, soak them in a solution of carbendazim for 5 minutes, let them dry for half a day, and then replant them in new clean soil. Do not water them before they take root. After the roots grow, water them thoroughly again.

2. Cut off the healthy stems of the succulent, place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry for half a day, and then replant them in the soil. Do not water them within 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, water them thoroughly again when roots have grown.

3. If most of the stems are black, we must quickly pick off the healthy leaves for cuttings. The leaves should not be infected by bacteria and should be plump and complete. After picking, dry them in a well-ventilated place with scattered light for 2 days, and then place them flat or insert them at a 45-degree angle on the soil surface.

How to prevent root rot in succulent plants?

1. In summer, you must water succulents less, especially when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees. Cut off the water directly. If the succulents really can't stand the dryness, you can water them along the edge of the pot at night. Don't water too much, 1/3-1/4 of the original watering amount is enough.

2. Be sure to shade the succulents in the summer and do not let them be exposed to the sun outdoors. It is best to move them to the east-west balcony or the north balcony. At the same time, do not let them get exposed to the rain on rainy days, otherwise the succulents will definitely die if they are exposed to the sun after being exposed to the rain.

3. Succulents grown indoors can easily develop black rot due to lack of ventilation, so windows should be opened for ventilation every day.

4. Succulents like loose and breathable soil. Do not use too compacted soil such as garden soil. Add more permeable substrates such as sand, perlite, vermiculite, chlorite, medical stone, etc., and lay a layer of expanded clay on the bottom.

How to prevent root rot of spider plants?

1. Chlorophytum has fleshy roots like radish, which have strong water storage capacity, so it is relatively drought-resistant. It only needs to be watered once every 1-2 weeks in summer. Water it only when the pot is dry, otherwise do not water it. Never water at noon, water at 6 am or 7 pm.

2. Irrigate the roots of the roses once a month with a solution of carbendazim for sterilization and disinfection. It does not need to be too concentrated, a ratio of carbendazim: water = 1:1000 is enough.

3. Ventilation is a big deal for roses in summer, especially for roses grown indoors. If there is no ventilation, red spider mites, black stems, and powdery mildew will appear continuously!

4. Don’t water unless the soil is dry. In summer, the evaporation is high, so you can increase the frequency of watering appropriately, and water once every two days.

Root rot of copper coin grass

2. Although the pennywort is not afraid of the sun in summer, there are two prerequisites: one is that it does not lack water, and the other is ventilation. Many flower lovers grow it indoors, and even though they get plenty of water and sunshine, the roots still rot because the ventilation conditions are too poor. Therefore, you must maintain good ventilation.
