Causes of decay:Rot is the most common disease of succulents, which is usually caused by fungal infection due to overwatering or too humid breeding environment. Succulents mostly grow in desert climates and are adapted to extremely dry growing environments, so they should never be watered too much, and the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Another cause of rot is a soil medium that is not breathable, especially for radish. Be sure to use a drainage medium so that water does not pool in the stems for more than a few minutes. Some bugs such as mealybugs can also cause rot, especially root mealybugs. The wounds caused by these pests when they suck plant sap can cause fungal infections. There are many ways that rot can manifest itself, and by the time you notice it, it’s often too late. Always be wary of discolored areas on the plant, as well as stems and leaves that become soft and mushy. Rotting parts of succulent plants:Crown rot:Internal rot in the plant, causing it to fall over; Stem rot (mainly Euphorbiaceae):It is stem rot, usually at the base of the stem; Stem spot rot:Caused by Orange stink bugs; Fungal decay:Brown, watery stains appear on the plants; Apricot rot:Occurs on branches Black Rot:It often occurs after infection with cotton aphids or root pollen. Spread of rot:Air, contaminated flower pots, planters, etc. Rot treatment:Note: Be sure to keep your utensils clean and sterile when handling rotten plants, and wash your hands carefully before touching other plants. Crown rot:Use a sharp knife to scrape away the infected part, then stuff the wound with crushed charcoal and flowers of sulfur. The wound should be completely dry. Neck rot:Cut off the rotten parts and treat the rest as cuttings. Remember to bury the plant only after the wound is completely dry. Fungal decay:Use a clean knife to cut off the damaged part and cover it with flower of sulphur. Spray the plants with a mixture of benomyl (translator's note: a fungicide) and mancozeb. Black Rot:Cut off the infected part with a clean knife, spray with benomyl, and cover with flowers of sulphur. |
