Causes of Lagerstroemia indica rot

The main causes of black rot in the roots of chlorophytum cymbidium are water accumulation, insufficient light and lack of nutrition, so it is necessary to find out the reasons before treatment. If it is caused by stagnant water, water less, keep the soil moist, bask in the sun for two hours in the morning and evening, and spray nutrient solution on the leaves; Severe cases can only be transplanted or propagated.

1. The roots of chlorophytum are black and rotten: too much water.

There are many reasons that affect the black rot of the roots of chlorophytum, so we should find out the reasons first and then prescribe the right medicine. First, check the roots of chlorophytum. If the rot and blackening are not serious, it may be caused by too wet and airtight soil and too much watering. In this case, gradually reduce watering, from twice a day to once a day and then once every two days, and the soil will gradually improve.

2. Insufficient light

Although chlorophytum is a shade-loving plant, it can't be kept indoors for a long time without sunlight, which will also lead to root rot and blackening. If the situation is not serious, you can put the plants in the sun for two hours every day, but don't expose them to the sun at noon and summer. Light or bright places can be used in the morning and evening. After a period of persistence, the root cause problem will gradually improve.

3. Insufficient nutrition

If both methods are used and the root problem is not solved, it may be that the root lacks nutrient supply. Then you need to add food nutrient solution, dilute it with a small amount of nutrient solution at a time and spray it on the leaves.

Step 4 transplant

Several chlorophytum plants are planted in a pot, and only the rotten black parts are pruned when the root system problems are serious. Drag the plant out of the flowerpot to remove the root soil, clean it and cut off the rotten, black and unhealthy roots, then disinfect it and coat it with rooting powder, and then change the pot and soil for replanting.

5, serious can only be breeding. If the root rot of chlorophytum can not be remedied, it can only be transplanted. Cut healthy small plants from the stems of chlorophytum and cultivate them in soil or water. When small plants take root and grow up, they can be transplanted into new plants.
