How to deal with the black rot of Jade Plant? How to deal with the black rot of Jade Plant?

Jade plant is a succulent plant, a perennial evergreen succulent shrub. It doesn't like moisture and is relatively drought-resistant. It needs to be above 10 degrees in winter to survive. It will grow slowly or even go dormant during the high temperature period in summer. What should you do if Jade plant gets sick during maintenance? Let's read the following to find out!

What to do if Jade Plants Get Black Rot

Black rot refers to the parasitic infection of the root system and stem by bacteria, which continue to multiply and spread, hindering the normal transport of water, nutrients, and oxygen to the plant, causing the leaves to fall off. In summer, due to the high temperature, bacteria have strong reproductive capacity and are active. If you water too much or the soil is wet and waterlogged at this time, it is very easy to cause root rot and black rot.

Solution: Black rot will quickly spread from the root system to the stems and leaves, causing the entire plant to die. So if your Jade Plant is black rot, you must dig it out immediately, clean up the black rot roots, dry the healthy branches, and then replant.

How to deal with the root suffocation of Jade Plant

Falling leaves is not necessarily black rot, because when ventilation is poor, the soil is hard and airtight, or there is too much watering, it may also cause "root suffocation". Root suffocation means that the roots breathe in an oxygen-deficient or anaerobic state, unable to supply oxygen to the leaves, causing leaf hypoxia. Root suffocation is much better than black rot, at least you don't have to cut off the head.

Solution: If the root is blocked due to excessive watering and damp soil, you need to dry the soil as soon as possible. If the root is blocked due to airtight soil, you need to replace it with new soil immediately to ensure that the soil is loose and breathable. If the root is blocked due to poor ventilation, you need to move it to a well-ventilated place for maintenance, or use a fan.

What to do if a girl gets soot disease

Sooty mold is a common plant disease caused by fungal infection. The fungus appears as small black spots at the beginning, then slowly increases and gathers together to form hyphae or black mold spots.

Causes of sooty disease: Fungal infections are mostly caused by humid air or humid maintenance environment, humid soil, etc. It is especially common in the rainy season in summer.

Effects of sooty mold: The fungus continues to spread, forming mildew spots that cover the entire leaf, which affects the leaves' ability to photosynthesize. Because the leaves cannot photosynthesize, they gradually turn yellow, dry up, and fall off.

Solution: Sooty mold needs to be temporarily isolated, and fungicides (carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, mancozeb) should be diluted and sprayed on the leaves to kill bacteria. Do this once a week for a month.

For example, scale insects, black spot disease, powdery mildew and other pests and diseases can cause plants to lose leaves. Jade plant is also a plant, and plants will lose leaves. When a normal Jade plant grows new leaves, the old leaves will be consumed. This is a normal alternation of the old and the new.
