- If the meat plant is dying due to excessive watering, stop watering first and allow the roots to breathe.
- Remove the meat plant from the pot, gently shake off the excess soil from the roots, and check for any signs of rot.
- For the rotten roots, cut them off with a sterilized pair of scissors and apply root-promoting powder.
- Plant the treated meat plant back into a new pot, being careful not to overwater.
2. Adjusting light
- Move the meat plant to a place with sufficient light, avoiding direct sunlight.
- If there is insufficient light indoors, use a grow light for supplementation.
3. Temperature control
- Place the meat plant in a suitable temperature environment to avoid damage from high or low temperatures.
4. Disease and pest control
- Regularly check the meat plant and deal with any diseases or pests promptly.
- Use pesticides and fungicides for prevention and control.
Precautions1. During the process of reviving a meat plant, be patient and do not rush.
2. When dealing with rotten roots, be sure to sterilize to avoid cross-infection.
