When growing Clivia Miniata in daily life, people often encounter the phenomenon of root rot, which is mostly caused by excessive watering. However, many people do not know what to do when the roots of Clivia Miniata rot severely, nor are they clear on how to deal with it. First, you need to identify the cause of the root rot to solve the problem fundamentally, and the method of treatment is also very simple, which everyone can easily learn.
【One, What to do when the roots of Clivia Miniata rot severely】
Many people are at a loss when faced with the phenomenon of Clivia Miniata root rot and choose to discard it and buy a new one. However, this approach is incorrect. There are other methods to save it, especially when the root rot is severe. You can choose to take it out of the pot, remove the soil from the roots, and then wash them with water.
Then, prepare a pair of scissors, clean the rotting part of the roots, and then soak the cleaned roots in a 0.1% potassium permanganate solution for 5 minutes. After that, apply a little sulfur powder or wood ash or carbendazim, and let it dry in a shady place. Once dry, you can replant the Clivia Miniata in sandy soil to promote the growth of new roots, which will quickly allow it to root and sprout again.
【Two, How to deal with Clivia Miniata root rot】
<1, Over-fertilization>
Clivia Miniata does not require much fertilizer, so people do not need to fertilize too much when caring for it. However, over-fertilization often occurs, directly causing heat and root burn, leading to root rot and even withering and death.
Treatment method: Do not fertilize Clivia Miniata too much, otherwise, the heat produced will burn the roots and cause decay. Watering should also be moderate; excessive watering will make the nutrient soil too moist, poor in permeability, and the roots will have difficulty breathing, leading to root rot. Be careful not to water directly into the heart of the Clivia Miniata.
<2, Poor soil quality>
What to do when the roots of Clivia Miniata rot severely
Soil quality directly affects the normal growth of plants. Poor soil aeration can also cause root rot, and if not treated in time, bacterial diseases can erode the flesh roots, causing root decay.
Treatment method: It is best to use clay or ceramic pots to maintain good drainage and aeration. Use soil after disinfection, keeping it loose, well-aerated, and well-drained. Add some decomposed organic fertilizer at the bottom of the soil, which is beneficial for recovery and growth.
<3, Poor growing environment>
Clivia Miniata has high requirements for the growing environment. The temperature should not be too high or too low, and it needs ventilation. Otherwise, these factors can lead to root rot. Excessive watering can also cause Clivia Miniata to rot, so special attention should be paid during maintenance.
Treatment method: Strengthen cooling and ventilation, control mechanical damage caused by high temperatures, promptly spray drugs to prevent insect bites, and reduce the breeding and transmission of bacteria. Sometimes bacteria overwinter in the soil with diseased residues, so the soil must be sterilized during the spring change of soil.
<4, Root damage>
Usually, when caring for Clivia Miniata, the pot is changed every year, but it is easy to injure or break the roots during the potting process, leading to root damage and root rot after replanting.
Treatment method: Prepare some sand, wash it first, and let it dry in the sun if possible. Then, bury the roots of the Clivia Miniata in the sand, keeping the sand slightly moist. After a period of time, the Clivia Miniata will grow white roots.
<Conclusion>
: Through the detailed description above, I believe everyone now knows what to do when the roots of Clivia Miniata rot severely. Usually, you can choose to change the soil and replant, or you can follow the treatment methods. Now, most people should understand how to deal with Clivia Miniata root rot, and the methods are very simple and easy to learn.
