Does my plant have root rot?Updated a year ago
Recognizing the signs of root rot in your plant is essential for maintaining its health and vitality. One of the most common indicators is wilting or yellowing leaves, often accompanied by mushy or darkened roots when inspected. Additionally, an unpleasant odor emanating from the soil may also suggest root rot.
If you suspect your plant has root rot, prompt action is crucial! Start by gently removing the plant from its pot and examining the roots. Healthy roots should be firm and white, while affected roots may appear mushy or discolored. To salvage your plant, trim away any diseased roots using sterile scissors, ensuring to remove all affected areas. Repot your plant in fresh, well-draining soil, and adjust your watering habits to prevent future issues.
