What to do if the banyan tree has root rot

1. Remedies

1. First, you need to remove it from the pot, be careful to keep the soil ball together, clean its roots slightly, check for rot, then cut off the rotten roots with scissors, and trim the roots that are too long as well.

2. Pour out the old soil in the flowerpot, disinfect the flowerpot, replace it with clean soil, and then plant the treated plants. Compact the soil and water it thoroughly, then place it in a bright and ventilated place. Keep the soil dry during the root growth period. It will take about half a month to take root, and you can maintain it normally after taking root.

2. Prevention Methods

1. Reasonable watering

Reason: If the amount of water is too much, the soil in the pot will remain moist for a long time, which can easily cause the roots to lack oxygen and cause root rot.

Solution: Loosen the soil appropriately and place it in a ventilated and bright place. Reduce the amount of watering and control the frequency of watering. Reduce the amount of watering appropriately when the temperature is low in winter, and increase watering appropriately when the temperature is high in summer, but do not allow water to accumulate.

2. Scientific fertilization

Reason: Fertilizing too frequently or applying too much fertilizer will cause nutrients to accumulate at the roots, making it impossible for the roots to breathe, which will cause root rot.

Solution: Control the amount of fertilizer applied. Do not apply too much fertilizer or too frequently. Just apply fertilizer once during the growth period.
