What to do if the golden diamond has root rot

Causes and solutions for root rot of golden diamond

The root rot of golden diamond is mainly related to water. Watering is required every day in summer and generally once every half a month in winter. Avoid watering too frequently in winter, otherwise the roots will easily rot and cause leaves to fall. If the soil in the pot is compacted or often moist, root rot is also likely to occur. Generally, wait until the soil surface is dry before watering appropriately. If you use tap water for watering, it is best to expose it to the sun for a few days to precipitate the bleach. In addition, avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves will have burnt spots.

Things to note to avoid root rot of golden diamond

The suitable growth temperature needs to be maintained at around 20℃. It is difficult to grow below 10℃. At the same time, pay attention to avoid cold wind, heating, etc. The golden diamond plant likes light, but avoids direct sunlight. Therefore, it is best to keep it in semi-shade or scattered light conditions. It should not be placed in a shady environment for a long time, otherwise the leaves will easily turn yellow.

Nitrogen fertilizer is the main type of fertilizer used, and the principle of applying small amounts of fertilizer frequently should be adhered to. As for watering, it is best to do it when the surface of the potting soil is dry. It can be kept moist during the high temperature period in summer. If the temperature is below 15℃ in winter, alternating dry and wet watering is required. The air humidity should be kept between 50%-75%. When the air humidity is lower than 50%, it is easy to cause yellow leaves and dry edges. You can spray water frequently to increase the air humidity.
