reasonToo much watering, the soil is not breathableEuphorbia milii is in direct contact with water and soil. During daily watering, too much water will cause the roots to be soaked in water for a long time. The environment is humid and breathing is poor, making it difficult to grow normally. In addition, the soil's drainage and water absorption are also important. The soil is not breathable and has poor water absorption. Over time, the soil will easily become compacted, and the roots and stems will be very uncomfortable when trapped in it. Pests and diseasesIf the maintenance environment is not appropriate, fungi can easily form in the soil, causing plant infection. Root rot is mostly caused by stem blight and rot. If it is not prevented and treated in time, it is common for the entire rhizome to rot. what to doRemove rotten partsSince the roots are already rotten, don't worry about it blooming this year. If the root rot is minor, remove the plant from the pot, trim the roots, and replant it. Before planting, apply wood ash for disinfection. If the root rot is more serious, you can cut off the thicker branches that have not yet rotted and replant them. Cut 10 to 15 cm and dry them in a cool place for 2 to 3 days. After the wound is dry, insert it into plain sand and water it thoroughly. It is equivalent to re-potting and just taking good care of it. Change the soil and water lessThe soil for planting Euphorbia milii must be sandy loam with good drainage. Coarse sand or vinegar residue and other media can be added to the soil to improve soil drainage. It is better to water when the soil in the pot is slightly dry. In summer, you can water more often because water evaporates quickly, but there should be no water accumulation in the pot. If root rot occurs, stop watering immediately, loosen the soil and allow the water to evaporate as quickly as possible. Pest and disease controlIn fact, every flower lover sprays pesticides after discovering that the plants are sick, which will cause damage to the plants to a certain extent. After buying the flowers, you should spray them with pesticides regularly. As for the stem blight and rot of Euphorbia pilosula, you can spray 800 times diluted 50% carbendazim every month, and increase the dosage appropriately when the disease occurs. |
