Can coleus survive if its leaves are rotten?

1. Can it survive if it rots?

Whether the leaves of coleus can still survive if they are rotten depends on the specific situation. If the leaves are rotten on a large scale, the roots are black and rotten, and the stems are dry, this is a serious situation, indicating that the coleus is dead and there is basically no possibility of saving it. Throw it away and grow a new one. If only a few leaves are rotten and there is a hole in the middle of the leaves, but the roots are not damaged and the whole plant is in relatively good condition, this means that there is no problem and it can still survive. You just need to take rescue measures and it will recover.

2. Rescue measures

1. Cut off rotten leaves: When you find that the leaves of coleus are rotten, you should first cut off the rotten leaves. Use sharp scissors to cut off the base to prevent the spread of the disease.
2. Pay attention to ventilation: After cutting off the rotten leaves, place the coleus in a well-ventilated place to promote normal air circulation, so that the coleus can recover as soon as possible. 3. Apply water reasonably: Keep the soil slightly dry. There is no need to water it before it is completely dry. When the soil is completely dry, you can give it an appropriate amount of water and water it thoroughly at one time. This can provide moisture for the growth of coleus and promote its later growth recovery.
