How to deal with root rot of white orchid

1. Prevention methods

1. Reasonable watering

Reason: The roots of white orchid are fleshy roots. If you water it too much, water will accumulate at the roots. If there is water accumulation or a large amount of water for a long time, it will cause root rot.

Solution: Control the frequency and amount of watering. Even if you water less, do not cause water accumulation. As long as the soil can remain moist, there is no need to water. In the hot summer, you can water more often, once in the morning and once in the evening. Reduce watering in rainy weather to avoid over-wetting the soil.

2. Apply fertilizer appropriately

Reason: Many flower lovers know that during the growth period of white orchid, it is necessary to ensure sufficient nutrition. However, many people cannot control the amount of fertilizer and it is easy to over-fertilize. Once the amount of fertilizer is too much, it will burn the roots and cause root rot. In addition, high concentration of fertilizers will also cause root burn.

Solution: Increase the amount of watering to allow excess fertilizer to flow out, but do not allow water to accumulate in the soil. Too much water can also cause root rot. Apply fertilizer in moderation and in small amounts and multiple times.

2. Rescue Methods

When root rot is discovered, the plant should be removed in time, the rotten roots should be trimmed clean, and then disinfected. The potting soil should also be replaced or the old soil should be disinfected, and then replanted. Place it in a well-ventilated and bright place and avoid exposing it to sunlight for a period of time.
