Emergency Guide for Rotting Roots of Green Plants
When the leaves of the Snake Plant curl and turn yellow, or the stem of the Fortune Tree becomes soft, 90% of the maintenance issues are caused by root rot. This article covers 6 practical steps and 3 key maintenance points to help you master the secrets of reviving plants with rotten roots.
Solution for Snake Plant Root Rot
Detailed Explanation of Four Revival Techniques
1. Complete removal: Use a knife sanitized with alcohol to make an oblique cut 1cm above the rotting area, ensuring the cut surface is at a 45-degree angle. If brown spots are found on the stem, make a longitudinal cut to check the inside condition.
2. Deep disinfection: It is recommended to soak in hydrogen peroxide (diluted 1:50) for 15 minutes or apply sulfur powder to form a protective layer. Avoid using colored disinfectants like iodine tincture as they can affect photosynthesis.
Rooting Medium Formula
Mix vermiculite, peat, and perlite in a ratio of 3:2:1, and maintain the medium moisture level between 40%-50%. It is suggested to use the water-induced rooting method in spring and autumn, with water temperature stable at 20-25℃.

3. Wound treatment: Immediately seal large cuts with a candle after cutting, and apply charcoal powder to small wounds. Focus on preserving the white fibrous roots on the main root, as these are key to regeneration.
Medication Use Specifications
Methyl thiophanate solution should be prepared and used immediately (at a 1:800 ratio), and after soaking, the plant should be kept in the shade for 48 hours. In summer, it is recommended to switch to using carbendazim powder directly applied.
