This never used to make sense to me. Why do roots rot in soil when over-watered yet they don’t rot when grown in water? Firstly, turns out roots DO rot in water too, and for the same reason as they do in soil, BUT (as it often is with plants), it's not quite that simple. Here's what's going on under the surface... Root Rot, Under The Surface, Self Watering Planter, Water Me, Water Water, Plant Roots, Self Watering, Garden Stuff, Water Plants

Remove the plant from its pot and gently shake off as much soil as possible. Cut off any visibly infected roots using clean scissors or a sharp knife. Repot the plant in a new, sterile potting mix, leaving enough space around the roots for good drainage. Water the plant sparingly, as overwatering can contribute to root rot. Provide the plant with good airflow and adequate light to help it recover.
