What is the cause of plum blossom root rot?

1. Heavy soil

Reason: Plum blossoms like loose and well-breathable soil. If the soil is too sticky, the roots will rot due to poor drainage and breathability.

Solution: Replace the soil with loose and well-drained soil in time, and loosen the soil appropriately to help the roots breathe more smoothly.

2. There is water accumulation

Reason: Excessive watering and rainy seasons can easily cause water accumulation. If the accumulated water cannot be discharged in time, it will cause root rot due to the long-term excessive moisture of the potting soil.

Solution: When there is water accumulation in the potting soil, drainage measures should be taken in time, especially in the rainy season, the excess water in the potting soil should be poured out in time.

3. Improper fertilization

Reason: Applying too much fertilizer or too high a fertilizer concentration will harm the roots of the plum blossoms, causing root rot or death.

Solution: Do not apply highly concentrated fertilizers or large amounts of fertilizers. It is best to apply fully decomposed fertilizers.

IV. Rescue Measures

Take the plum blossoms out of the pot, clean the soil from the roots, wash them with water, cut off the rotten roots with sterilized scissors, place them in a ventilated place to dry after disinfection, then replace them with clean pots and suitable soil and replant them.
