What to do if the roots rot in Frost Morning

Causes of frost morning root rot

Excessive water

Frost Morning is a succulent plant of the genus Echeveria in the Crassulaceae family. It grows in summer and is a hybrid of Star Beauty and Guanghan Palace. It likes a warm, well-lit, dry and ventilated environment. It is drought-resistant, not cold-resistant and has strong adaptability.

Too much water will cause the roots to be soaked for a long time, making them prone to rot.

Pest Hindering

During the high temperatures of summer, Frost Morning Star is susceptible to damage by root mealybugs and root-knot nematodes, which can cause stem and root rot and leaf drop.

Pull out the frost morning glory and cut off the rotten roots. After the incision heals, repot or change the soil and transplant.
