What to do if spring foal root rot occurs

1. Remove the pot

If you find signs of root rot in the spring plant, you should first remove it from the pot. Use a knife to shovel around the edges of the pot to loosen the soil. Then hold the bottom of the pot with one hand and use the other hand, wearing gloves, to hold the plant. Then take the spring plant out. Be careful not to damage the roots during this process.

2. Treat the roots

To treat the roots, first shake off the old soil attached to the roots, and then observe the entire root. If the degree of rot is not serious, you can cut off the rotten part with a knife, then comb out the root position, rinse it in clean water, and then dry it aside. After drying, apply carbendazim on the cut. If the situation is very serious, you can cut off the roots directly and use the strong stems for cuttings.

3. Prepare new soil

After root rot occurs, the soil will contain pathogens, so it is best to prepare new soil by mixing leaf mold, garden soil, and sandy soil. The flower pots can be replaced with new ones, or old flower pots that have been exposed to the sun can be used.

4. Filling cultivation

Fill the flowerpot with a layer of soil, then comb out the remaining roots of the plant and place them in the middle of the prepared new soil, shaking it gently while filling the soil. After planting, pay attention to the later maintenance issues, especially the water aspect.
