Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my sesuvium portulacastrum have Root-rot?
Cause: Sesuvium portulacastrum demonstrates salt tolerance through JAZ (Jasmonate ZIM-domain) subfamily gene upregulation under stress. Enhanced proline synthesis (2.34 μg/mL vs 1.53 in controls) and reduced hydrogen peroxide content (29% decrease) activate antioxidant pathways. Inadequate drainage leads to anaerobic conditions and salt accumulation, triggering root rot.
Solution: 1. Mix potting soil 50/50 with perlite, pumice, or coarse sand for drainage
Prevention: Use well-draining soil with 50% mineral content (perlite/pumice). Flush soil monthly with deep watering to leach accumulated salts. Ensure pots have drainage holes.
