What to do if the roots of Kalanchoe turn black

1. Re-insert

1. When we find that its roots have turned black, the first thing we should do is to deal with the black part, cut it off, and then re-cut it. Of course, we can also directly choose the branches with better growth to cut. What we must pay attention to when cutting is that we cannot hesitate and must cut it all off, because the black roots not only cannot absorb nutrients, but will consume nutrients.

2. Then we can apply some carbendazim on the stems so that bacteria will not infect.

3. Then move it to a cool place, and after a few hours we can put it back into the soil. If it still has flower buds at this time, we have to remove the buds because they will cause nutrient loss, but the leaves should still be retained because photosynthesis can promote root growth.

2. Hydroponics

1. Hydroponics is also a way. We can take it out of the pot and remove all the blackened roots.

2. After that, we need to use medicine to disinfect the incision and then put it in a cool place to dry. If there are almost no roots left after the operation, you need to soak it in rooting water.

3. After it dries up, we can put it into a container filled with mineral water. Don’t put too much water, just 1/3 of the root. Finally, put it in a ventilated and bright place, but be careful not to let the light be too strong, otherwise it may get sunburned.

3. Others

Ventilation and light are also essential for it. Only when these points are met can its roots grow perfectly, otherwise it may be difficult for it to recover.
