Although the sansevieria is easy to grow, there will still be flower lovers who encounter the bad roots problem. Most of the reasons for the bad roots of the sansevieria are caused by excessive watering, because the root system of the sansevieria is extremely underdeveloped.

Because the root system of the sansevieria is underdeveloped, it is often planted shallowly, and some flower friends water too much, and the potting soil cannot be volatilized in time, which will cause the sansevieria to rot over time. The correct watering should be as little as possible, and judge the watering amount according to the water permeability of the pot soil, so as to avoid the occurrence of rotten roots to the greatest extent.

For the sansevieria with rotten roots, clean up the rotten parts of the roots. If possible, use carbendazim and other fungicides to sterilize, then dry it in a cool place, and replant the roots (recommended plain sand, vermiculite + peat) Wait for the cutting medium to take root).

There may be some flower lovers who have a question. After replanting in this way, will the golden edge disappear?This depends on whether the roots are retained. If the roots are more intact, the golden edge will still exist. If the roots are relatively few, replanting is equivalent to cuttings, it is very likely that the new seedlings will not have golden frame.
