What to do if Lithops root rots

1. Causes of root rot

If you want to truly solve the problem of Lithops root rot, you must first find out where the problem lies. Generally speaking, if you water it too much and the soil has poor air permeability and drainage, the plant will easily rot if it grows in a waterlogged state for a long time.

2. Root rot phenomenon

There is a difference between a plant with root rot and a healthy plant. The growth state of the lithops itself will deteriorate. As the plant wilts, its color will fade and it will look a little crooked. If the plants in your home show the same phenomenon, you must deal with it in time.

3. Root rot treatment

1. Remove the lithops with rotten roots from the planting soil, cut off the rotten roots, and place them in a bright and ventilated location. Leave it for about a week, and when the wound has dried and healed slightly, you can replant it in the soil. Note that there is no need to apply any medication during the drying period.

2. It is best to replace the soil with one that is more breathable so that the roots will not rot again after the plant takes root. If you use old soil, you need to turn the soil over and disinfect it. Try not to use old soil directly.
