How to deal with African jasmine root rot

Symptoms of root rot

If the roots are rotten, the leaves of the plant will fall off in large areas.

Governance

After discovering root rot, you can sprinkle the roots with carbendazim solution, methyl thiophanate solution or thiophanate-methyl solution every 10 days to half a month.

However, since the roots are extremely contagious after rotting, it is best to repot and change the soil in time. Throw away all the original soil and do not use it anymore, let alone use it to grow other plants. Also, trim off all the rotten parts and disinfect the wounds with drugs. Then you can plant it in a new pot. If you want to increase the survival rate of replanting, you can trim off some of the branches and leaves on the upper part of the plant.

Causes of root rot

There are many reasons that can cause root rot in plants, but for African jasmine, the main reason for root rot is mostly due to water accumulation at the roots, so friends must pay attention to this phenomenon when watering the plants. If the soil seeps water slowly, you can water it slowly. One watering can be divided into several small times until water seeps out from the bottom of the flowerpot, then you can water it again in a small amount. If the soil permeates water slowly, you should loosen the soil appropriately, which can also improve the permeability of the potting soil.
