What causes Portulaca root rot ?

3ishika

Hello,
Recently I bought some of the flower seeds , among which portulaca plant root is rotten.
Initially everything was going well and the plant was growing well but after a few days I noticed that the growth was not well and I noticed that the root was rotten. So, I immediately shifted the plant in another pot with new soil but still the same issue.
What might be the reason for it?

3ishika I’m no plant expert but I have a few house plants… I’ve accidentally caused root rot before by overwatering… Perhaps you should wait a short while before your next watering session?

I see you posted this topic a couple of years ago. Did your plant survive? I’m with Damien, you probably overwatered the plant, which caused rot to set in. It’s a good idea to cut away the damaged roots before repotting the plant in new soil. In the future, you can help your plant out by only adding water when the soil is a few inches dry on top.
