What to do if the leaves of the lotus are hydrated

Lotus Hydration

Hydration of succulent plants refers to a phenomenon in which leaves or fleshy stems become translucent due to tissue necrosis caused by improper maintenance.

After the leaves of the water lily are hydrated, some of the leaves or tissues will initially rot and dry up, affecting the ornamental effect. In severe cases, the entire plant will die and have to be discarded.

The reason why the lotus is hydrated

The most common cause of water loss in the waterlily is over-watering or excessive water accumulation in the rhizome, which damages the root system of the plant.

There are other reasons that can also cause the hydration of the lotus. For example, strong sunlight burns, invasion of pests and diseases, frostbite or mechanical damage caused by low temperature, etc.

How to deal with the hydration of the lotus

First, stop watering so as not to damage the plants.

If you find that the stem is hydrated, you should cut it off immediately, apply carbendazim on the cut, and then place it in a ventilated and dry place to dry.

If rotten areas are found in the late stage of hydration, they must be removed immediately to prevent the death of the entire plant.
