Common Pests and Diseases
Root Rot
Overwatering
To address root rot, first, stop watering the plant and allow the soil to dry out. If the plant is severely affected, remove it from its pot and trim away any black, mushy roots, leaving only healthy, white roots. Clean the pot thoroughly or use a new one, and repot the plant using fresh, well-draining soil. Going forward, ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes and water the plant only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Spider Mite Infestation
Caused by tiny spider mites that thrive in dry, warm conditions. They suck sap from the leaves, leading to speckled, discolored, or curled foliage.
Increase humidity around your plant as spider mites prefer dry conditions. Regularly misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby can help. Wash the leaves with a gentle stream of water to physically remove the mites. For severe infestations, use a neem oil solution or insecticidal soap, applying it directly to the leaves and stems, ensuring to reach the undersides where mites commonly reside. Repeat the treatment every 7-10 days until the infestation is cleared.
