What to do if the roots of Tang fan rot

The reason why the roots of Tang fans rot

Hot and humid

During the high temperatures in summer, the plant is in a dormant or semi-dormant state, its growth is slow or completely stagnant, and poor ventilation, insufficient light, or excessive water can cause the roots of the Tang fan to rot.

Long-term rain

The plant of Tangshan is small in size and is suitable for planting with other plants to make succulent combination bonsai. However, if it is placed outdoors, it is inevitable that it will encounter rain, especially during the rainy season. Long-term rain can easily cause the roots of the Tang fan to rot.

How to prevent and treat root rot of Tang fan

Summer rainy season protection

In summer, it should be placed in a well-ventilated place for maintenance, no fertilizer should be applied, appropriate light protection should be provided to avoid exposure to the sun, and watering should be controlled to prevent the plant from rotting due to stuffiness and humidity.

When the rainy season comes, the Tang fan needs to be moved to a new place to prevent it from being exposed to rain for a long time.

Remove rotten roots

After the roots rot, cut off the rotten part, place it in a cool place to dry, and then put it back in the pot. Tang fan has a strong growth ability and can re-root after the roots are removed, so there is no need to worry.
