What to do if the roots of the Asparagus Fern rot
A small knowledge of experience, introducing how to deal with the root rot of Asparagus Fern and the treatment methods of green plants and flowers, let's learn about it together.
The Asparagus Fern is a common plant in life, with high ornamental value, and is very suitable for raising at home. Therefore, most people choose to raise a pot of Asparagus Fern at home. However, root rot may occur frequently during the breeding process, so many people do not know what to do if the Asparagus Fern's roots rot. In fact, it is very simple to solve, let's follow the editor to understand the treatment methods for Asparagus Fern root rot.
【One, causes and treatment methods of Asparagus Fern root rot】
<1, Overwatering>
The Asparagus Fern has a high demand for water and prefers to grow in a humid environment. Therefore, people may often water the plant during maintenance, which can lead to waterlogging in the pot. As a result, it is easy for the plant to develop root rot, and if not treated in time, the plant may die directly.
Treatment method: Although the Asparagus Fern prefers moisture, it is afraid of waterlogging in the pot. Too much water can cause root rot, and too little water can cause the leaf tips to dry out. If root rot occurs, control watering and loosen the soil frequently. For those with dry leaf tips, it is advisable to water a small amount first and then gradually increase, while also spraying water on the branches and leaves.
<2, Insufficient nutrients>
The main source of growth for the Asparagus Fern is fertilizer, so people need to fertilize regularly during maintenance to make it grow stronger. If the frequency of fertilization is too low, it can lead to insufficient nutrients, causing root rot. However, excessive fertilization can also cause this phenomenon, so everyone should be more careful.
Treatment method: The Asparagus Fern loves fertile soil. If the soil is not changed and fertilized for a long time, the supply of nutrients will not meet the demand, leading to yellowing leaves and root rot. In this case, water a dilute liquid fertilizer once a week and water and loosen the soil in a timely manner.
<3, Low temperature>
Since the Asparagus Fern is a plant from tropical regions, it prefers to grow in a high-temperature environment. If the temperature of the growing environment is too low, it is easily affected by frost damage. Therefore, root rot is an inevitable result after the Asparagus Fern is affected by frost damage, especially in winter when the weather is relatively cold, which may lead to the plant dying directly.
Treatment method: First, increase the indoor temperature appropriately, preferably maintaining it between 5 to 10 degrees Celsius. This can help the Asparagus Fern recover quickly. Of course, if the root rot is severe, it is still necessary to change the pot and soil for re-cultivation.
