Root Rot
Root rot occurs when roots are damaged by prolonged exposure to excess moisture, often leading to fungal or bacterial growth.
संभावित कारण
Overwatering
Why: The most common cause. Consistently wet soil deprives roots of oxygen.
Signs to check: Soil stays wet for days, mushy brown/black roots, foul smell.
Poor Drainage
Why: Pots without drainage holes or dense soil trap excess water around roots.
Signs to check: Water sits at the bottom of the pot, soil is compacted.
क्या जाँचें

- 2Check if roots are firm (healthy) or mushy (rotting)
- 3Note any foul smell from the root zone
- 4Check pot drainage and soil composition
आगे क्या करें
- Trim away any brown, mushy roots with clean scissors
- Repot in fresh, well-draining soil
- Use a pot with adequate drainage holes
- Reduce watering frequency going forward
कब मदद लें
- Most roots are brown and mushy
- Plant continues to decline after repotting
- Stem base is soft or discolored
मुख्य बात
Prevention is key — ensure proper drainage and allow soil to dry appropriately between waterings.
