Rotted roots of spider plants grown in water are often caused by three reasons. The first is water quality problems. If the water is not changed for a long time, it will be polluted or lack oxygen, so the roots are prone to rot. Second, if too much fertilizer is applied, the plants cannot absorb it, and it is easy to burn the roots, causing fertilizer damage and leading to root rot. Third, the temperature is too low. It itself is not cold-resistant, so if you grow it in water, you need to pay more attention to the low temperature environment. If it is below 5 degrees, it will suffer from frostbite and the root system will rot easily. No matter what the reason is, root rot must be dealt with promptly, cut off the rotten roots, and strengthen management.

1. Causes of root rot

1. Causes of root rot

1. Water quality problems: If the water is not changed for a long time during water cultivation, the water quality will deteriorate. There will be pollutants in it, which will hinder growth over time, and it will contain There will also be less oxygen, and the plants will suffer from root rot due to lack of oxygen. Pay attention to changing the water in time. Only by clean water can normal growth be achieved.

2. Excessive fertilization: Chlorophytum raised in water should be fertilized regularly. Put fertilizer inside to ensure sufficient nutrients. However, if too much fertilizer is used, it will burn the roots, leading to root rot. In the later period, it is better to fertilize less than too much. Just put a few grains of urea fertilizer at a time to meet its nutrient needs.

3. The temperature is too low: the temperature is affected when growing in water. The requirements are high, and it is best to maintain it between 15 degrees and 25 degrees. The cold tolerance is extremely poor. If the temperature is lower than 12 degrees, the growth will be slow. If the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, it will be frostbitten and the root system will gradually rot. The temperature must be controlled. It is best to be above 12 degrees in winter.

2. Treatment after root rot

< p>When you find any rotten roots, take them out as soon as possible and cut off all the rotten parts. It must be disinfected after pruning. If there is no disinfectant, the wound must be placed in a cool place to dry before potting, so that it can grow normally later. If not treated in time, infection will occur and root rot will become more serious. In addition, containers should also be disinfected to avoid bacterial infection.
