What causes cactus root rot?

1. Causes

1. When it needs to be fertilized, high-density fertilizer or uncomposted fertilizer is mistakenly used, thus damaging the roots of the plant.

2. Too much water and failure to drain in time blocks root absorption, causing poor plant growth.

3. It likes abundant sunlight, so long-term absence of sunlight will cause its growth to lag and become unhealthy.

2. How to solve it

1. Learn to replenish water correctly. It doesn’t like too much water. When watering, you can divide it into parts, so as to reduce waterlogging. If the situation is very serious, you need to take it out of the pot, cut off the bad roots, wash it with water, apply medicine and replant it.

2. Apply some light fertilizer during the growing period, about once every 30 days. Basically, do not apply it in summer and winter. If you accidentally apply too much, you need to rinse it off with water.

3. Always keep it in the sun to bathe it. After a period of care, it will gradually resume growth. All rotten roots must be cleaned up to avoid infecting the entire plant stem and leaf growth.
