What to do if rose root rots

1. Remove the plant

There are many reasons for rose root rot, such as excessive watering, excessive fertilization, or pests and diseases. No matter what the cause is, it must be removed from the soil and then the rotten part and the degree of rot can be checked.

2. Treat the roots

After taking out the roses, remove the soil and clean it with clean water, cut off the rotten roots with sterilized scissors, and then spray the roots with carbendazim. If the rot is severe, you can soak them for a while to prevent the roots from rotting again.

3. Pruning plants

After dealing with the rotten roots, you need to prune the plant and remove all the branches and leaves on the plant. Don't leave anything behind, just keep the main trunk.

4. Replace the potting soil

Dispose of the soil in the previous pot, disinfect the flowerpot, replace it with suitable soil, then insert the treated plant into the soil, place it in a cool and ventilated environment, and water it appropriately after 2-3 days. During normal maintenance, water should be applied in moderation. It is best to wait until the soil in the pot becomes dry before watering to avoid root rot due to excessive water accumulation. In addition, do not apply too much fertilizer. If you apply too much fertilizer, water more appropriately to wash away the excess fertilizer to avoid fertilizer damage that leads to root rot.
