Root rot is a common disease that seriously harms the money tree, called root rot. It mainly harms the rhizomes of the money tree. When the disease occurs, the rhizomes become soft and rotten, and in severe cases the plant dies.

Prevention and treatment methods

Ensure the environment is relatively dry and the air is fresh. When the plant shows signs of disease and the leaves turn yellow, spray it with cypermethrin in time to prevent the fungus from worsening.

If you find that the roots of the plant are rotten, you can remove the plant from the pot, cut off the injured part, then apply fungicide to the wound, dry it in a cool place, and then replant it.

Disinfect the soil in time. One week after replanting the money tree, the soil should be disinfected again. Use Prokopilot, Anke or Zinc Manganese Metadale (Ridomil-Manganese Zinc) to spray the bare stem of the money tree, and it is best to let the liquid flow along the stem into the potting soil. In the following weeks, spray with fungicide once a week for 3 to 5 weeks.
