Root rot is a common problem caused by overwatering or poor drainage, leading to mushy roots and wilting leaves.
To prevent root rot, use pots with drainage holes and well-draining soil.
Water only when the top layer of soil feels dry and avoid letting plants sit in water. Regularly check roots during repotting and trim any that appear dark or soft. Ensure adequate airflow around your plants and avoid overcrowding.
Using sterilised tools and fresh soil reduces the risk of infection.
