Then next, Shuaishuai will tell everyone about the prevention and treatment methods for root rot in dragon bone flowers.
1. Causes of root rot
1. The most, most, most common and also the most important factor is root rot caused by too much water in the pot, without a doubt.
2. Many people like to place flowers in dark indoor spaces for growing and viewing, which is wrong. It is best to place them in an environment where they can receive light, and let the plant receive more light. Although the dragon bone flower is not afraid of sun exposure, in the hot summer the light is still too harsh, so we need to provide appropriate shading. Only in this way can it grow more robustly. If these details are not paid attention to, root rot can easily occur.
3. Some flower lovers fertilize their dragon bone flowers frequently in order to make them grow faster, stronger, and more beautiful. Not only do they apply concentrated fertilizer, but the amount is also quite large. This will definitely cause root rot. It is best to fertilize every 15-20 days during its growth period. In winter, when the temperature is too low, the dragon bone flower will stop growing and developing, and at this time it can no longer be fertilized. Fertilizing in the middle of winter is the easiest way to cause root rot. In winter, the growth rate slows down, and the speed of nutrient uptake naturally slows down as well. If the fertilizer is not absorbed, it will definitely affect the root system.
2. Prevention and treatment measures
1. If excessive watering causes the roots to die, at this time we should pour out the excess water in the pot. If the soil is no longer breathable, it should be replaced with new soil. Finally, place it in a ventilated area to dry and let the excess water evaporate.
2. After completing the first point, move the flower pot to a lighted environment, and then fertilize according to the specific situation.
3. If the roots of the dragon bone flower have already rotted, immediately cut off the rotten root parts, then use plant ash to disinfect the remaining roots, and insert them into new fine sand. Do not put them into soil. The fine sand should be more than 5 cm thick, and then water afterward. If the water content in the fine sand is too much. If the flower is too large, it will easily cause the plant to collapse, which is not advisable, so we can divide it into several plants for planting.
The above are the causes and solutions for root rot in dragon bone flowers. Generally speaking, aside from poor soil aeration and poor drainage caused by water accumulation in the pot or excessive moisture, other causes are relatively few. Therefore, fellow flower lovers must pay attention to the first point. Of course, the others should also be noted. If you want to avoid root rot, the key is still to be careful!
