Root rot is a serious condition caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Here’s how to manage and prevent it:
1. Proper Drainage: Ensure soil and containers have adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging.
2. Watering Schedule: Water plants deeply but less frequently to promote healthy root growth.
3. Soil Health: Use well-draining soil mixes and avoid compacting the soil.
4. Plant Selection: Choose plants that are less susceptible to root rot and suited to your local conditions.
5. Treatment: If root rot is detected, remove affected parts and repot the plant in fresh soil.
Tips:
- Raise garden beds to improve drainage.
- Use fungicide treatments for severe cases.
