Analysis of the Causes of Cactus Ball Rot
Overwatering
What happens if the cactus ball rots? If you find the ball of the cactus rotting, it is likely caused by overwatering. As a plant that can grow normally in the desert, cacti do not require much water and cannot be watered like other plants. Once overwatered, it easily affects the normal growth of the plant and leads to rot.
Over-fertilization
Cactus is a plant that likes fertilizer. During cultivation, we need to provide it with some nutrients. However, when fertilizing cacti, it is necessary to follow the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently and to control the amount of fertilizer. Once over-fertilized or if the fertilizer concentration is too high, it can easily burn the plant, preventing normal growth and eventually leading to rot.
Infection with Disease
Besides, during the cultivation of cacti, we need to take careful care. If the plant is damaged and not treated promptly, it is easy to cause wound infection, leading to rot.
