What to do if violet roots rot

1. Causes of root rot

The main reason for violet root rot is too much water. Unscientific watering methods can cause the soil to be too moist for a long time, or heavy rain during the rainy season can cause root rot.

2. What to do if the roots rot

This issue needs to be discussed on a case-by-case basis. First remove the plant from the pot and observe the condition of its roots. If the root rot is very severe and most of the roots are rotten, then there is basically no way to save it. If only a small part of the root system is rotten, it can still be saved with some effort. After removing it from the pot, trim the roots first, mainly cutting off the rotten roots to prevent the rotten parts from expanding. Afterwards, disinfect the roots with a fungicide. Afterwards, place the plant in a ventilated place until the roots are dry. Afterwards, repot it. Control watering in the near future, and resume normal watering after the plant has fully recovered.

3. Correct watering method

The best method should be determined based on the condition of the surface soil. Water after it is dry, and don’t water it for the time being if it is not dry. Do not allow water to accumulate in the basin. Watering is different in different seasons. Generally speaking, water more during the growth period and less in winter. In addition, pay attention to the humidity, which should be controlled between 40 and 70 percent.
