How to deal with root rot in desert rose

1. Remove the pot and prune

If the roots of the desert rose are rotten, you need to take it out of the original culture medium first, and gently wash the roots with water to wash off all the dirt on them. Then prepare a pair of root pruning shears, treat it with disinfectant, and cut off all rotten roots on the plant, as well as dead branches and yellow leaves caused by root rot.

2. Disinfection and soil preparation

Prepare some disinfectant, pour it into a small basin, and then pour some clean water into it to dilute the liquid. Then put the plant in the solution, soak it for about 30 minutes, and then take it out to dry. During this period, you will also need to prepare some new flower soil with leaf mold and fine sand to replace the old soil in the flowerpot.

3. Replanting and Maintenance

Plant the dried plant with its roots facing downwards into the prepared new soil so that all its roots are below the soil surface. Then move the flower pot to a place with relatively soft light and a temperature of around 20℃, and slowly maintain it for a period of time. Do not apply fertilizer during this period, but spray some water when the soil is dry. In this way, after about 7-10 days, it will be able to resume growth.
