What to do if the pothos root rots
Article summary: Experience of the Flower Clinic with pothos, what to do if the pothos root rots, please correct if there are any mistakes!
Pothos is considered by flower friends to be the easiest plant to grow, but some still encounter the issue of pothos root rot. So, what should be done if the pothos root rots? The basic method of treatment is generally the same, simply put, it is to re-plant. Let's take a detailed look below.
Both soil-grown and hydroponic pothos can have root rot, because pothos is a herbaceous plant, so once it rots, it cannot recover on its own. However, due to the advantage of easy propagation, most people choose to re-plant.
1. Soil-grown pothos
Compared to hydroponic pothos, soil-grown pothos is less likely to rot, but due to poor drainage in some pots and excessive watering by flower friends, the potting soil can accumulate water for a long time, eventually leading to root rot. Flower friends should prepare new media (peat, nutrient soil, etc.), pull out the original pothos, cut off the rotten roots, clean them thoroughly, and then re-plant.
2. Hydroponic pothos
Eighty percent of the root rot in hydroponic pothos is caused by not changing the water in time. However, black roots are not necessarily rotten roots. Rotten roots are when the roots turn into water, smell bad, and once they rot, cut off the rotten part, change the water, clean the bottle, and re-hydroponic it.
Ps: Dealing with pothos is this simple. Flower friends can practice pothos propagation more often to prepare for future needs.
