How to deal with geranium root rot

1. Replace the soil

Reason: If the soil is not breathable, the accumulated water will not be easy to drain. The accumulated water in the potting soil and the stuffy environment will easily lead to root rot.

Solution: Replace the soil with loose, well-drained and breathable soil as soon as possible.

2. Be careful when repotting

Reason: Many flower lovers are careless when repotting and often injure the roots of geraniums. Once wounds appear, coupled with the growth of bacteria, it will lead to root rot.

Solution: Be careful when repotting and try not to damage its roots. If you accidentally damage it, disinfect it in time.

3. Watering in moderation

Reason: Excessive watering can easily cause water accumulation. If the accumulated water cannot be drained, the roots will rot.

Solution: Reduce the amount of watering and control the frequency of watering. It is best to observe the moisture level of the soil before watering. If it is completely dry, water it in time.

4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

Reason: The presence of pests and diseases, such as nematodes, can easily lead to root rot.

Solution: When pests are discovered, spray them with pesticides in time and disinfect the potting soil. Then cut off the rotten roots, disinfect them and replant them.
