Your plant suddenly drops its leaves and keeps withering away! What on earth is going on? It will die within a few days. In fact, most of the time this is caused by root rot. The main causes of root rot are too much water or disease. Root rot is not completely hopeless though - you can try this too and save it.

Do this for root rot

-Jade plant root rot-

The jade plant (Crassula ovata) likes a dry, airy soil environment. During the growing season the potting soil can be kept slightly moist, but it must not be overwatered or waterlogged, otherwise root rot easily occurs. In the hot summer, watering must be strictly controlled and the surrounding ventilation improved, otherwise root rot and heavy leaf drop easily occur. Some growers also see heavy leaf drop and softening of the stems after repotting.

Many jade plants over ten years old drop their leaves and branches continuously because of root rot, and eventually the whole plant dies, which is a great pity. If root rot occurs, cut off the healthy parts of the jade plant. If you can, soak the branches in a carbendazim solution, then let them dry. After drying, put them into fresh potting soil; the soil should be loose and airy, and the plant should be kept in semi-shade to recover for a week. Then place it in a spot with plenty of light for care.

-ZZ plant root rot-

The ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) has tuberous roots and is very drought tolerant, so never let water accumulate when watering. If water accumulates for a long time, the roots are starved of oxygen and root rot easily occurs. If the leaves keep turning yellow and the roots feel soft and yellow, be on your guard. If root rot occurs, take the ZZ plant out of its pot as soon as possible, cut off the rotted tubers, soak them in a potassium permanganate solution for about 10 minutes, and let them dry for 2 days. Then plant them in fresh potting soil. When the soil is dry, use a spray bottle to spray water onto the leaves, letting the water run down the leaf stalks to the roots; it is enough for it to be slightly moist, 1-2 times a day, and it can be saved in about 20 days.

If the branches turn yellow badly, the roots are not rotten, and the stems are soft, it may have stem rot. You can simply cut the branches short, leaving just a few cm. In fact, the more you cut back a ZZ plant, the more it grows.

-Rose root rot-

The main cause of root rot in roses is still watering. Improper watering and long-term waterlogging both cause root rot. If you find root rot on a rose, promptly prune off the rotted roots, then soak them in a carbendazim solution, replant, and keep the plant in a cool, well-ventilated place for care; new roots will grow in about 7 days.
