What to do when an aloe vera's roots rot? Teacher Yang Hua teaches you three ways to solve it
How does aloe root rot come about? Today I will teach you, let's take a look together. The first main reason is watering too much; aloe fears water, so if you water too much at one time, it will cause the aloe's roots to rot. If the teaching method is relatively scientific, then you can consider whether there are bacteria on the edges.
If this is the reason, then when handling it you must disinfect it. First take the plant out of the pot, then remove the soil around the roots, and use a sharp small knife to cut off the rotten part. When cutting, you must be thorough and not leave even a little bit of the rotten part.
Otherwise it will easily continue to rot and the area will become larger. After sorting it out, apply some plant ash to disinfect it. After the wound dries, continue planting the variety. You can appropriately buy some rooting hormone to speed up rooting, and after about half a month new roots can grow.
If the root rot you observe is not especially serious, then you can skip pruning and just let it dry. However, in general it is still recommended to prune a little, otherwise the rotten part can easily expand.
If handling it would be difficult, after dealing with the roots, place it in a ventilated place, as this can speed up the healing of the wound, but note that you must water less.
