What to do if the roots of Chlorophytum turn black and rot

1. Reduce watering

If the roots of spider plants turn black and rot slightly and are not serious, it may be caused by over-watering, which makes the soil too moist and sticky, and the air permeability becomes poor. Watering should be reduced, starting from twice a day and gradually decreasing to once a day or once every two days. In this way, the moisture of the soil will be resolved and the rot situation will improve.

2. Accept light

If you find that the roots of the spider plant are turning black and rotten, if it is grown indoors, move it outdoors in time to let it receive light, but be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight. You should spend two hours in the sun every day, and the symptoms will gradually improve.

3. Direct Resection

If the root rot is too severe and cannot be cured, just cut out the rotten roots. Because it does not have only one root, after cutting it off, you need to use a new pot and new soil to replant it to avoid bacterial infection from the original soil.
