Causes of root rot in Teyu lotus

Excessive water: The leaves of the Jade Lotus are brightly colored and full of water, so if the growing environment of the Jade Lotus is too humid, it will rot. The roots absorb too much water, but the leaves are already saturated, which will eventually lead to the tragedy of root rot.

Wrong choice of flower pot: The choice of flower pot may also cause the root rot of the Jade Lotus. Although glass containers are beautiful, their drainage and air permeability are very poor, so it is best not to choose them for growing Jade Lotus. You should choose a terracotta pot with good air permeability, or other containers with air holes. If the roots start to rot when watering is appropriate, you can consider changing the pot.
