What causes mint root rot?

1. Excessive watering

Reason: If you water too much on a normal basis, water will easily accumulate. Once water accumulates, the roots will easily rot. The roots cannot breathe normally, which will lead to root rot.

Solution: Reduce the amount of watering and wait until the surface soil becomes dry before watering again. However, do not water too much. If you water too much, loosen the soil appropriately and place it in a ventilated place.

2. Large amount of fertilizer

Reason: If you don't control the amount of fertilizer well and apply too much fertilizer frequently, it will cause fertilizer damage, which will lead to root rot.

Solution: Reduce the amount of fertilizer and stop fertilizing after the roots have rotted. Remove it from the potting soil, cut off the rotten roots, and then disinfect it. After disinfection, you can replant it.

3. The potting soil is not breathable

Reason: If the potting soil is not breathable, once water accumulates, the roots will easily rot, especially in the rainy season. If the potting soil is not breathable, it will not only cause root rot, but in severe cases it will also cause the death of the entire plant.

Solution: Replace the flower pot with a breathable one, and the soil should also be replaced with loose and breathable soil, so that water can be discharged more quickly when it accumulates.
