Preventing Root Rot: Keep Your Plants’ Roots Healthy 🌱

Root rot is a common issue caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Here’s how to prevent it:

1. Proper Watering: Water plants only when the top inch of soil is dry.

2. Good Drainage: Ensure pots and garden beds have adequate drainage.

3. Soil Choice: Use well-draining soil mixes to prevent waterlogging.

4. Aeration: Regularly aerate the soil to improve oxygen flow to roots.

5. Plant Selection: Choose plants that are resistant to root rot.

Tips:

- Avoid planting in heavy clay soils unless amended for better drainage.

- Elevate pots off the ground to improve drainage.

- Regularly inspect roots for signs of rot and remove affected areas promptly.
