Common problems and solutions of alum root

How to deal with alum root rot

Alum root is a plant that is not tolerant to water and is afraid of stagnant water. If there is stagnant water in the soil where the alum root is grown, the roots of the alum root will easily rot.

To cultivate alum roots, you need to choose loose and breathable soil. You can mix perlite and coconut shells into a medium or use a mixture of peat soil and coal slag. Do not use garden soil directly, you can add some river sand or coal slag.

Also pay attention to watering. Follow the principle of watering after the soil is completely dry, and do not allow water to accumulate in the potting soil.

Alumroot leaves wither

The wilting of alum root leaves may be due to overwatering. Alum root is not tolerant of water and humidity. Even in the summer when evaporation is high, do not water it too much to avoid water accumulation that may cause the leaves of the alum root to wither.

Secondly, during the cultivation process of alum root, the roots were damaged, which affected the growth of the alum root.

Another possibility is that the soil for growing alum roots is not clean enough. There are many impurities in the soil, which makes it difficult for the roots of the alum roots to breathe, and there is water accumulation in the soil, which can easily cause the leaves to wither.
