How to save the ice lantern jade from root rot

1. Rescue Methods

When you find root rot, take it out, then pull out the leaves below that are connected to the roots to expose the stem. Use a small knife to slowly scrape off the rotten roots and apply carbendazim to prevent infection. Place it in a cool place for a few days to dry, wait for it to slowly grow new tissue, and then you can transplant it, and then pay attention to the maintenance conditions.

If the rotten part of the root is too large, the chance of saving it will be reduced. You can cut it off and use cuttings to get a new plant.

2. Causes and solutions

1. Excessive watering: A big reason for root rot is too much watering. The plant is relatively drought-resistant and is very afraid of water accumulation in the soil. If you water it without considering its growth needs, it will be irrigated too much. Pay attention to changing methods during maintenance. The more water is not necessarily better. The frequency should not be too high, and the amount each time should not be too much.

2. Pests and diseases: Pests and diseases are also one of the reasons for root rot. The lack of disinfection in the soil is the main reason. Therefore, before planting, it is necessary to disinfect, kill the things inside, and expose them to the sun.
