What to do if the golden unicorn has root rot

what to do

1. Root treatment

First, take the plant out of the pot with the soil ball and put it in water to wash off the dirt. If more than half of the roots are still intact, cut off the damaged roots, then soak the roots (including the rhizomes that are buried in the soil) in 0.1% potassium permanganate solution for a while, take them out and place them in the shade to dry the attached liquid, and then re-pot them with leaf mold (steam them in a pot for one hour before use).

2. Potting and maintenance

After potting, place it in a place with bright scattered light, control watering, and sprinkle water on the modified stems and the surrounding ground several times a day to increase the air humidity of the surrounding environment. Wait until new leaves sprout before carrying out normal management. If the roots have all rotted or only a few are left, the plant should be root-pruned and disinfected as described above, then potted with steamed clean river sand to promote rooting, and then covered with transparent plastic film.

3. Normal maintenance

If there are signs of sprouting at the top growth point of the plant, it indicates that roots have taken shape. After that, apply 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution once a week, and after the new leaves unfold, use leaf mold to pot the plant.
