How to remedy the root rot of soil-grown white palm

1. Remove rotten roots

After discovering that the roots are rotten, you need to stop watering, then use a small shovel to loosen the surroundings of the flowerpot, take the plant out, gently remove the old soil on the outside to expose the rotten roots, prepare sterilized scissors, gently cut off the rotten parts, and trim the old roots on top appropriately.

2. Cleaning and Disinfection

Remove the rotten roots and place them in clean water, wash the roots clean to expose the white roots, then place them aside to dry slightly, and apply carbendazim on the wounds for disinfection.

3. Prepare the soil

After the roots have rotted, the original potting soil will already be filled with bacteria, so you can directly replace the pot and soil with a new one. The pot needs to be made of breathable material and have drainage holes at the bottom. The soil should be loose, soft and have good drainage. It can be exposed to the sun before use to disinfect it. You can use the original flower pots and soil, but they need to be exposed to the sun for a long time to completely remove the germs.

4. Planting in pots

Fill the flowerpot with some soil, then plant the anthurium in the pot, fill the surrounding area with soil, and press it lightly. Pay attention to maintenance in the future, especially control water and fertilizer to avoid root rot again.
