Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my bonsai jade have Root rot prevention?
Cause: Crassula ovata (Jade Plant / Money Tree) bonsai develop shallow, adventitious root systems optimized for arid conditions. When grown in oversized containers with moisture-retentive substrate, the succulent's water-storing leaves mask declining root health until vascular collapse occurs. Anaerobic soil conditions below 2mg/L dissolved oxygen promote bacterial pathogens (Pythium, Fusarium) that break down fine root hairs, compromising water uptake despite adequate soil moisture.
Solution: Unpot immediately and remove all old substrate; inspect roots for black/brown discoloration
Prevention: Use shallow training pots only 1-2 inches larger than root ball; employ unglazed terracotta for natural moisture wicking; maintain substrate of 50% inorganic material (pumice, akadama, coarse sand); water only when substrate is completely dry at 2-inch depth; extend watering intervals to 3-4 weeks in winter dormancy.
