Can the passion fruit root rot caused by overwatering be remedied? Should I water the leaves or the roots?

1. Can it be remedied?

If passion fruit is watered too much and the roots rot, it can be remedied as long as it is not serious. If the root rot is only minor, you can dig it out of the soil and simply clean the dirt on the roots. Check the root rot, cut off the rotten roots with scissors, dry them in the sun for a while, and then disinfect them.

2. Methods to prevent root rot

1. Watering: During the normal maintenance process, watering needs to be carried out scientifically. When watering, wait until the soil is dry. The moisture content in the soil should not be too high and there should be no accumulation of water. When adding water, just water the soil thoroughly, and it is better to keep it in a slightly moist state. In addition, drainage should be carried out in time during the rainy season.

2. Soil: The soil used for cultivation should be clean, and it is best to disinfect it before planting, because some soils may contain residual pathogens or even insect eggs. As long as the planting soil is kept clean, root rot can be avoided.

3. Where to water

When watering passion fruit, pour the water into the soil, near the root system. However, in drier weather, you can also spray some water on the leaves, but remember not to water the flowers.
