Reasons for the rotting of succulent rootsLet's understand the reasons for the rotting of succulent plant roots, which are mainly as follows:

2. Poor soil drainage: If the soil drainage is poor, water accumulates at the roots, which can easily cause root rot.
3. Low-temperature environment: In a low-temperature environment, the metabolism of succulent plants slows down, and the roots are easily damaged by frost, leading to root rot.

1. Prepare tools: A sharp pair of scissors or a knife, and disinfectant (such as alcohol).
2. Cut off the rotting roots: Remove the succulent plant from the pot and cut off the rotten parts with scissors or a knife, making sure to cut to healthy roots.
3. Disinfection treatment: Soak the cut-off rotten root parts in the disinfectant for disinfection treatment.
4. Replant: Replant the treated succulent plant in a new pot, making sure to choose well-draining soil and control watering appropriately.
