What to do if the root of Kalanchoe turns black

1. Causes of blackening

During the maintenance process of Kalanchoe, the branches and trunks may sometimes turn black, then wilt further, and finally the whole plant may die. The blackening of branches is actually a disease, the black rot of Kalanchoe. The cause of this disease may be soil compaction, excessive watering, or a disease caused by high temperature.

2. Solution

After the black rot occurs, the diseased area must be cleared immediately, pruned off, and the diseased tissue discarded. It can be thrown away or buried deep. For the upper branches, we can cut them again, soak them in fungicide for a period of time, and then re-cut them to grow new plants. This way you can deal with the problem of blackening branches of the Kalanchoe.
