Why does the lucky bamboo root rot? How to deal with the root rot

1. Causes of root rot

1. Root rot in soil: If the plant is grown in soil, it is very likely that too much water and fertilizer is applied. If you water the plant too much, it will not be able to absorb the water, and the roots will rot if they are soaked in water for a long time. The amount of fertilizer should not be too much. If there is excess fertilizer in the soil, it will easily burn the roots of the plant and cause root rot.

2. Root rot due to hydroponics: When hydroponically cultivating, the water used must be clean. If poor quality water is used, the roots will rot if they are in a polluted environment for a long time. Also, the root cuts of the plants must be handled properly. If not, they will be infected with bacteria and cause root rot.

2. Treatment methods

1. Soil culture method: First, take the lucky bamboo out of the soil, rinse its roots with water, and then trim the rotten roots with scissors. After trimming the roots, place it in a solution of carbendazim, soak it and then wash it with water. Then place the plant in a ventilated place to dry the roots, and finally replant it in the pot.

2. Hydroponic treatment method: Take the lucky bamboo out of the container and directly trim off the rotten roots. The inside of the container should also be cleaned, and then the roots should be disinfected, replaced with clean water and continued maintenance.
