Causes of Money Tree Root Rot (Symptoms and Remedies)

1. Reasons

1. Too much watering: The most common cause of root rot during maintenance is too much watering. There is water accumulation in the potting soil, and the roots cannot breathe, which will lead to rot. This is especially likely to happen in summer when the temperature is high and sudden large amounts of water are required.

2. The temperature is too low: It is not cold-resistant, so a suitable temperature environment must be provided during maintenance. Especially in winter, when the temperature drops below 15 degrees, frost damage is likely to occur, causing frostbite of the roots. If you don't pay attention to the time of watering at this time, the temperature will be even lower and the roots will easily rot.

3. Infestation by pests and diseases: In addition to improper management, infestation by pests and diseases can also lead to root rot. This is mainly because the growing environment is not ventilated, which makes it easy to breed pests and suffer from root rot. If it is not controlled in time, the entire plant will die soon.

II. Remedies

If root rot occurs during maintenance, no matter what the specific cause is, it must be removed from the pot in time. Then cut off the rotten roots, soak them in disinfectant solution for disinfection, and then replace the potting soil with new one and replant them.

During later maintenance, it is best to water the plant when it is dry. Do not add water too frequently, and do not allow water to accumulate. Also pay attention to the temperature. Keep it indoors in winter and keep the temperature under control. In addition, you should ventilate the room more often and spray pesticides in time to stop insect infestations.
