What to do if the roots of Kalanchoe rot

one. resection

After removing the plant from the pot, prepare a sharp, sterilized tool and cut off the rotten parts of the roots, especially the part that has visibly turned from green to brown. Don't feel sorry for it, and be sure to cut off all the rotten parts until we see that the stem is no longer rotten.

two. smear

Prepare some disinfectant solutions, such as carbendazim, etc., and apply some on the branches and stems left after pruning. This can effectively prevent the plant from being infected by bacteria again. Then you can put it in a cooler place to dry for a few hours, and then use it for cuttings. At this time, the branches will be healthier and have a protective layer.

three. prune

If there are flower buds on the branches you cut off, you must remember to cut them off. Don't think that the flower buds can still grow, as this will only waste nutrients in vain. However, the leaves must be retained because the leaves can perform normal biological functions and can effectively promote the regrowth of the roots of the branches. This kind of pruning is very beneficial for the regrowth of the plant.

Four. Hydroponics

This plant can not only be grown in soil, but also in water, because it can easily grow roots. After about one to two weeks, it will grow new roots in the water. After it grows out, it can be directly transplanted into a pot.
