Causes and countermeasures of root rot of Weeping Goddess of Mercy

Overwatering

The weeping angel is a tropical rainforest plant that prefers a semi-shaded and humid environment. Therefore, people usually deliberately increase the frequency of watering, frequently spray water on the leaves, and increase the air humidity, which can easily cause water accumulation and root rot.

Do not water too frequently. Do not water unless the soil is dry. Just water it thoroughly once the soil is completely dry.

Poor ventilation

The roots of the weeping angel are prone to root rot in summer. Summer is hot and humid. If ventilation is not good, the soil in the pot will be too wet, which will hinder the growth of the roots of the weeping angel and cause root rot. Therefore, the flower pots should be placed in a ventilated place indoors.

Specific steps

1. Insert a small wooden cabinet into the soil next to the roots of the weeping angel, peel off the soil and roots little by little, and remove the rotten roots completely.

2. Cut off the rotten roots.

3. Cut off all branches and leaves.

4. Rinse in clean water, then soak in carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution for 5 minutes, rinse with clean water again, and place in a ventilated place to dry for a day.

5. Disinfect the flower pots and new soil. The new soil must have good air permeability, and sandy soil is best.

6. If the new soil is too dry, you can water it with a little rice water. In the future, it is better to have less water than too much. Insist on not watering until the soil is dry. Don't bury the roots too deep.

If the root rot is not too serious, you don't need to follow the above steps. If the rotten root part is above the potting soil, you can dig out the rotten part, apply agricultural streptomycin to the wound, and water the roots with diluted carbendazim solution, which can also cure the root rot.

What to do if the roots of the hydroponic weeping angel rot

When the weeping angel is hydroponically cultivated, root rot is a common problem, which is mainly caused by poor water quality, unsuitable environment and large differences in water temperature when changing water. The water level should not be too high. Do not put all the roots in the water. It is enough to cover 2/3 of the root system to prevent root rot. Clean the inside of the container frequently to prevent moss from growing.

Note: When handling the weeping angel, be sure to wear gloves to prevent the juice from splashing onto your skin!
