How to deal with yew root rot

1. Water appropriately

Reason: Yew is not tolerant to waterlogging. If you water it too much, the soil in the pot will be too wet, and its roots will not be able to breathe normally, causing the roots to rot and even the whole plant to die.

Solution: Water in moderation, don't water too much or too frequently. Add a little root rot agent when watering to prevent root rot, and water thoroughly.

2. Reasonable fertilization

Reason: If you apply fertilizer blindly, it will harm the roots. Applying too much fertilizer will cause the roots to be unable to absorb fertilizer normally, which will cause root rot. If the fertilizer concentration is too high, it will burn the roots and cause root rot.

Solution: Reduce the amount of fertilizer, apply small amounts of fertilizer frequently, and choose fully decomposed fertilizers as much as possible.

3. Increase Lighting

Reason: Placing yew trees in a dark and humid environment for a long time will affect photosynthesis, causing a serious lack of nutrients. The roots will be in a state of hunger and unable to absorb nutrients, resulting in root rot.

Solution: Increase light appropriately, but avoid exposure to strong light. If growing indoors, move it to a place with sufficient light outdoors to promote photosynthesis.

4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

Reason: A high temperature and stuffy environment will easily breed bacteria and cause diseases and insect pests, which will constantly harm the plant, gnaw at the roots and cause it to rot.

Solution: Eliminate pests and diseases promptly, spray appropriate pesticides, and ventilate frequently to maintain a suitable temperature.
