How to save dragon blood tree root rot

1. Rescue Methods

1. After discovering that the dragon blood tree has root rot, it is necessary to take timely measures to repot it. First, take it out of the pot, clean the soil and check the root rot.

2. If the rot is not very serious, use scissors to cut off the rotten parts, and clean the rotten spots on the rhizomes, and then disinfect them to prevent secondary infection by bacteria. The flower pots must also be disinfected, the soil must be replaced with clean and uncontaminated soil, and then the treated plants can be planted in the new potting soil.

2. Prevention Methods

1. Reduce watering

Reason: Excessive watering will cause water accumulation in the potting soil. If the roots of the Dracaena are soaked in water for a long time, it will have difficulty breathing, which will lead to the problem of orchid roots.

Solution: Control the amount of watering at normal times. Do not water too much at one time. Just water thoroughly. Water when the soil is dry. Wait until the soil is dry before watering again. Once water accumulates, take drainage measures in time.

2. Disinfect the soil

Reason: Unclean soil or the presence of pathogens will cause root rot of the dragon blood tree, because these pathogens will erode its roots, and in severe cases may cause the death of the plant.

Solution: Disinfect the soil from time to time, or replace it with clean soil regularly. If diseases occur due to pathogens, spray them with pesticides in time to avoid harming the growth of the dragon blood tree.
