How to deal with lily root rot

1. Dealing with root rot

Whether it is soil or hydroponic, lilies must be removed in time after their roots rot, and their roots must be cleaned and cut off with sterilized scissors to prevent them from rotting when planted again. Be careful when cleaning the roots and try not to damage them. If there are new wounds, they must be disinfected in time.

2. Disinfection

To disinfect its roots, you can use carbendazim, captan, thiophanate-methyl or potassium permanganate, etc., soak it for about half an hour. After disinfection, take out the plant and wash it with clean water. Be sure to rinse off the residual solution at the roots and place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

3. Recultivation

If you want to grow it hydroponically, you need to soak it in carbendazim and make sure the roots of the lily are 1-3 cm away from the water surface to keep its roots dry. If you want to grow it in soil, do not water the ball of the roots after planting, but water along the edge of the pot.

4. Normal maintenance

After its roots grow out, you can take care of it normally. Water it appropriately to keep the soil moist. If water accumulates, you must take drainage measures in time to avoid root rot caused by water accumulation. You must also allow it to receive an appropriate amount of light to help it grow better. In addition, the temperature must also be controlled, and it is best to keep it at 16-24℃.
