Causes of Root Rot in Zi Chi Nian Hua

Love Meat ADHD

Many beginner succulent plant lovers are eager to see quick results when growing succulents. If they see any problem with their plants, they will pull them out by the roots to see what the problem is. How can the young rhizomes withstand such torture? Even if it is growing well, the root growth will be affected if it is tossed around a few times. If you are not careful when planting, the roots will be injured and root rot is inevitable.

Repotting in winter is a death wish

The plant will enter a dormant period in winter. Succulent lovers think that it is okay to move the plant at this time, so they will clean up the dead leaves and repot it, hoping that it will be rejuvenated in the spring. I never expected that I would end up killing myself. Winter is the time for rest and recuperation. How can you get better if you keep tossing and turning like this?

The soil is not breathable

Zi Chi Nian Hua is suitable for growing in a moist but not waterlogged environment. When the soil is too moist and the air permeability is poor, it is easy to cause root rot.

What to do if the roots of the plant rot

Throw into the soil

If the roots of the Zi Chi Nian Hua plant have completely rotted, you can pick off all the leaves and let it fend for itself. Maybe a few more Zi Chi plants will grow.

As for the surrounding runners, those that have not melted in water can be directly cut off and replanted. The chances of this part surviving are still very high.

Keep your hands off

During daily maintenance, do not pull up the roots casually, and do not change the pot casually in winter. Unless you need to repot, don't remove the plant from the pot easily.
