What to do if the roots of the domesticated虎皮兰 (Tiger Skin Orchid) rot
There is a pot of Tiger Skin Orchid next to me. Due to the low temperature in winter, the roots have already rotted. How should this situation be dealt with? If the upper part is rotting, you can cut it short here, apply carbendazim to the wounded area, and replant it with new nutritious soil where there is no rot. Next, we will cut the rotting cuttings short and cut off the rotting part at the bottom.

1. Cutting short
It is already spring, which is the best time for propagating succulents. In this case, we can remove the pot and cut the leaves short for propagation. First, we knock the pot out, remove the soil, and check if the roots are rotting. You can gently scrape the root skin with your hand. As long as there is alive fiber, you can plant and handle it.
If the upper part is rotting, you can cut it short here, apply carbendazim to the wounded area, replant the non-rotten part with new nutritious soil, and then cut the rotting cuttings short and cut off the rotting part at the bottom.
2. Wound disinfection
After cutting, we immediately apply disinfectant to the wound, cut the cuttings to 8 centimeters in length, and apply disinfectant to the wound in the same way. We put it in a tray and let it dry for two to three days. When the bottom wound is slightly dry, we can proceed with the propagation.
