What to do if the roots of Kalanchoe are rotten? Just cut it once and put it back into the soil and it will grow again

Basically, no plants will bloom in winter, so the charm of Kalanchoe is fully revealed at this time. However, when the time for flowering is still good, Huahua recently received some messages saying that the roots of the Kalanchoe in her home have rotted. This really distressed these flower-growing friends! Don’t worry, today Huahua will tell you how to treat the root rot of Kalanchoe.

The roots of Kalanchoe are different from those of other plants. Some friends may say that if the roots of Kalanchoe are rotten, just change the pot. In fact, this is not the case. The roots of Kalanchoe are not as developed as those of other plants. If we change the pot, we will find that the roots of Kalanchoe are already rotten. Therefore, changing the pot is not suitable for Kalanchoe.

How to treat rotten roots of Kalanchoe?

Root rot of Kalanchoe also requires our daily maintenance. Do not water it too much in winter. The root system of Kalanchoe is relatively small, and frequent watering will cause root rot. In addition to avoiding over-watering as much as possible, ventilation of Kalanchoe is also very important. Allowing air to flow is also beneficial to the growth of Kalanchoe.

If you often place Kalanchoe in an unventilated place for a long time, its leaves and branches will begin to turn black, and the roots will slowly rot. The most important problem when growing Kalanchoe in winter is lack of light. Long-term lack of light will make the flowers of Kalanchoe not full, and the quantity and quality will not be high.

Moist soil makes it easier for branches to take root and survive. Cuttings are a very good way to propagate Kalanchoe. Kalanchoe grows very fast after re-cutting. If properly maintained, it is normal for flower buds to bloom all over the branches. It is relatively normal for Kalanchoe to have root rot. Regardless of the degree of root rot, the best way to save it is to re-graft it.

We cut off the healthier branches of the Kalanchoe plant, and then place the branches in a cool and ventilated place to dry for a while. After the branches are dry, we can proceed to the next step. When cutting, in order to increase the success rate of Kalanchoe cutting, we choose soil for cutting, which should be breathable and contain a certain amount of organic matter as base fertilizer. It is more conducive to the growth of Kalanchoe after cuttings.

Winter is a season when plants are more likely to have problems. You can observe the plants more often and treat them in time when you find problems so as not to cause greater losses.
