What causes root rot in lotus?

1. Large amount of fertilizer

Cause: If too much fertilizer is usually applied, fertilizer burn will cause the appearance of root rot.

Solution: Fertilize in moderation, do not over-fertilize. If it is in a yellow and thin state, then fertilize promptly.

2. Pests and diseases

Cause: If the potting soil is not disinfected before planting, bacteria will easily appear, and a damp and stuffy environment will let the bacteria multiply in large numbers, and the phenomenon of root rot will appear.

Solution: Promptly spray with a pesticide for prevention and control, and deal with it immediately once discovered, so as not to endanger the normal growth of the lotus.

3. Not changing the water for a long time

Cause: If the water is not changed for a long time, the water quality will deteriorate and bacteria will easily be produced. Once bacteria appear, they will harm its roots, and root rot will also easily occur.

Solution: Change the water often, but do not use tap water directly. You can leave the water in the sun for 4-5 days, then use it. After root rot appears, promptly cut off the rotten roots, then disinfect them.
