1. Identify the cause of rotten leaves
If we want to save a Jewels of Opar with rotten leaves, we must first understand the causes of this problem. It may be caused by overwatering, prolonged drought, excessive fertilization, or low temperatures. Only by identifying the root cause can we take appropriate measures to solve the problem.
2. Remove rotten leaves promptly
When dealing with the problem of rotten leaves on a Jewels of Opar, the first step is to promptly remove the already rotten leaves. This is because rotten leaves affect the health of the plant, and rot-causing bacteria can also spread from the leaves to other healthy leaves.
3. Prune withered branches
If the branches and stems of the Jewels of Opar also show signs of withering and yellowing, it means they have also lost their vitality. At this point, we need to use sharp scissors to prune them off to prevent these dead parts from consuming the plant's nutrients.
4. Adjust the amount of watering
Too much or too little water can harm a Jewels of Opar. If the leaves of your Jewels of Opar are rotten, it is likely due to overwatering. It is recommended to check once a week and only water when the topsoil is dry. At the same time, during the hot summer season, it is also necessary to increase watering.
5. Improve ventilation
If the ventilation environment for the Jewels of Opar is poor, it is easy to lead to leaf rot. Therefore, we must ensure that its growing environment is well-ventilated, allowing fresh air to circulate, which helps prevent leaf rot.

Excessive fertilization is also one of the causes of leaf rot in Jewels of Opar. When we find that the plant's leaves are rotten, we should reduce the amount of fertilizer or appropriately reduce the frequency of fertilization to avoid excessive fertilizer buildup, which can lead to root rot.

The suitable temperature range for Jewels of Opar to grow is 18-30℃. If the temperature is too low or too high, it will harm the Jewels of Opar and cause its leaves to rot. Therefore, we should reasonably adjust the ambient temperature to allow it to grow in a comfortable temperature.
8. Use farmyard manure water
If you still don't know how to use farmyard manure water, then let's learn about it! This natural organic fertilizer water can greatly improve the plant's immunity and disease resistance. Using farmyard manure water to irrigate the Jewels of Opar can increase the plant's disease resistance and reduce the risk of leaf rot.

If the Jewels of Opar is in a low-light environment for a long time, it will also lead to the problem of leaf rot. Therefore, we must provide the plant with sufficient light, which not only helps promote its normal growth but also reduces the risk of leaf rot.
11. Do a good job in preventing and controlling pests and diseases
If the Jewels of Opar is infested by pests and diseases for a long time, it will lead to its leaves rotting. Therefore, we must do a good job of prevention and control, regularly spraying pesticides on the plant or using natural plant-based remedies to control pests and diseases.
12. Do a good job in plant maintenance
Jewels of Opar needs regular dust removal and misting to maintain the glossiness of its leaves. In addition, we also need to regularly replace the soil for the plant and strengthen its maintenance to keep it in a healthy growing state.
13. Use bacterial fertilizer
In addition to farmyard manure water, bacterial fertilizer is also a good choice. This type of fertilizer can enhance the plant's self-repair ability and improve its ability to resist harsh environments.
