Treatment Methods and Prevention Tips for Black Rot in Succulents

Has your succulent shown this kind of condition? Then you need to be careful, because it has been infected with black rot.

Black rot, its causes are relatively complex; it may be caused by fungi, or it may be caused by pathogens. It is generally mainly caused by fungi, and its ability to spread is very strong. The most suitable environment for its spread is 27-33°C, which is the high-temperature environment of summer, the time when black rot outbreaks are at their most vigorous.

Treatment methods:

First, you must definitely take the succulent that has developed black rotisolateit, because the virus of a succulent suffering from black rot may spread to other succulents.

After isolation, for succulents that have already developed lesions, you need tocut off all the infected parts, then spray the whole plant wet with a fungicide, such as carbendazim, and then place it in a well-ventilated environment to observe the wound healing.

Small tip:

Black rot is not a disease that is particularly easy to cure. Whether in Europe and America or Japan and South Korea, there is no particularly good way to deal with it, so you must do a good job of prevention in advance.

Prevention methods:

The first isforced ventilation. Sometimes even if it is placed at a window, because summer inherently has little wind, the effect is not very great. If the weather is stuffy and windless for a long time, it is recommended to appropriately use a small electric fan to blow some air on it.

In addition, you should in advanceapply preventive fungicide. In greenhouses, fungicides are all applied for prevention, let alone at home, where the environmental conditions may not necessarily be especially suitable. You can carry out spraying with a fungicide once at an interval of about 15 days.

Finally, what you need to pay attention to is that in summer, absolutely do not let your succulents end up with water accumulation. Finally, I wish everyone's succulents a safe summer!
