1. Reduce watering

Cause: rot is a common disease of succulent plants. It is usually caused by fungal infection caused by excessive watering or too humid growing environment. It may also be because the soil medium is airtight and has poor drainage

Solution: reduce the frequency of watering, and select the soil with good drainage for cultivation, so that the deposition of water in the stem does not exceed a few minutes

2. Pest prevention

Causes: some insects, such as mealybugs, can also cause decay, especially root powder. The wounds left by these pests after absorbing the plant juice on the plant may cause fungal infection

Solution: pay attention to softened or mushy stems and leaves in time, and spray medicine in time if pests are found

3. Specific treatment method

Crown decay: use a sharp knife to cut away the rotten part and attach broken charcoal and sulfur. Make sure the wound is dry

Neck rot: cut off the rotten part, and the rest of the stem can be used for branch insertion. Make sure the wound is dry

Fungal infection: use a sharp knife to cut away the rotten part, attach sulfur, and then spray the plant with a mixed solution of benlaite and mancozeb

Black rot: cut off the infected part with a clean knife, and then spray it with benlat and attach it with sulfur
