What to do if the roots of fuchsia rot

1. Reasonable watering

Reason: Fuchsia likes a humid growing environment, so many people like to overwater it. Excessive watering will make the soil moist. In addition, the moisture cannot evaporate in the hot and humid environment. The roots are in a humid environment for a long time, which will affect their breathing, causing root rot and affecting their growth.

Solution: Water reasonably, not excessively. Water when the soil is dry. Be sure to water thoroughly. Water more during the growth period, but do not allow water to accumulate. Control the amount of water in winter. Do not make the soil in the pot too wet. It is best to loosen the soil appropriately after watering.

2. Scientific fertilization

Reason: If too much fertilizer is applied at one time, it will be difficult for the fuchsia to absorb it, or if uncomposted fertilizer is applied to it, it will be unable to absorb it, corroding the roots and causing root rot.

Solution: Master scientific fertilization methods and amounts. Apply nitrogen fertilizer every 15 days in spring, apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers every 15 days during the peak growth period, and fertilize when not needed in winter. Keep the soil dry before fertilizing. After fertilizing, spray some water to prevent the soil from rotting due to fertilizer sticking to it.

3. Disease prevention and control

Reason: If the soil is not disinfected during planting, the plants are diseased or the water is unclean, the plants will be infected with diseases and cause root rot.

Solution: After discovery, spray the plant with pesticide in time, remove the plant, cut off the rotten parts, disinfect and replant it.
