Root rot is the biggest problem most houseplant owners face sooner or later. A fungus kills the roots of a plant, leaving it unable to absorb nutrients. Most types of fungi live on dead organic matter in the soil, however there are many fungi that are also capable of attacking living plant roots. This is called “Root Rot.” There is a growing list of fungal plant diseases spread through the air and through contact with spores. Trees, shrubs, and perennials around the house are susceptible to both root and foliar fungal diseases. These diseases can cause leaf drop, dark spots on leaves, or can kill the plant altogether. Fortunately, there are several different types of fungicide that you can put on your patients to treat infections. Fungus gnats are small, black flies that are commonly found in greenhouses, indoor plants, and even your home. These pesky critters feed on the roots of your plants, which can cause them to become stunted. They can also lay eggs in the soil or on the root system, which will cause your plant to have poor growth, or may even kill it completely.

Diy Fungicide For Root Rot

Introduction

Fungicides are an effective way to control or prevent diseases in plants. Some of the chemical fungicides available on the market contain chemicals that are toxic and harmful to humans, pets, and other animals.

To avoid this, you can prepare a homemade fungicide using natural ingredients. You don’t have to worry about their safety because they won’t harm you, your family members, or your environment.

Here is a DIY homemade fungicide recipe that uses baking soda as the main ingredient:

Materials You Will Need

Materials you will need:

• 1 gallon of water
• 1 cup of baking soda
• 1/2 cup Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) or magnesium chloride flakes, which is more effective and a bit less expensive.
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (I like olive, but corn, canola and sunflower are also good choices).
• Liquid dish soap

Method To Use DIY Fungicide

To use the DIY fungicide, simply mix all of the ingredients together in a container. Next, apply the fungicide to affected plants and repeat every 7 days until symptoms disappear.

Prepare this fungicide and apply it to the affected plants.

To prepare this fungicide, you will need:

• 4 cups of white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of dish soap
• 1 gallon of water

Mix all three ingredients together in a sprayer or bucket. Use this mixture to spray down the affected plants so that they are covered with a light film of the solution. You should apply this mixture every three days until the fungus has been eradicated from your garden!

Conclusion

Once you have prepared the fungicide as per instructions, you should use it every 2-3 days on the affected plants. This will help to keep them healthy and allow them to flourish.
