What to do if the jade plant has root rot

Waterlogging in the soil

Because Jade Plant is a shallow-rooted succulent plant, it does not require a deep pot when growing it. The soil also needs to be loose and have good drainage so that it can grow fresh and juicy.

When watering, be sure to prevent water accumulation. If water accumulates in the soil, the roots of the jade plant will rot or even become sick. The leaves cannot absorb nutrients and begin to shrink. Soon they will slowly dry up and shrink, or even die.

Rain

The leaves of Jade Plant must be crystal clear and plump, so they can be called "Jade Plant". However, this "dewy" plant does not like to be rained on.

After the rain, raindrops slide down the leaves and accumulate at the roots, which can easily cause root rot. Long-term rain exposure is even more unacceptable!

What to do after root rot

If the roots rot due to excessive watering or rain, you can pull up the plant and change the soil in the pot.

The soil in the pot just needs to be slightly moist. Remove the rotten roots and dry the wounds. You can also peel off some of the bark on the roots to expose the stem of the plant and wait for it to grow roots again and regain vitality. If you have rooting powder, you can apply some appropriately. After replanting, don't rush to water.
