How to save Zamioculcas if brown spots appear on the leaves during the cold season

0

In autumn or winter, certain difficulties may arise with zamiokulkas. You can see brown spots on its leaves. They look like burns. Also, the plant may start to lose yellow leaves. All this happens for a reason. The plant needs help.

How to reanimate zamiokulkas

First of all, you need to pull the plant out of the pot. In most cases, it has problems with the root system. When you get it and start examining it, it will be easy to see.

Brown spots that start at the edges of the leaves and gradually spread over the entire surface of the leaf indicate rot. You will find it in the roots.

The task is to remove all rotten parts. If there are old stumps from the shoots left, twist them off as well. If it is necessary to cut off rotten parts, clean them to a fresh and healthy part. Then these places need to be smeared with fungicide.

Transplant the cleaned Zamioculcas into a new pot. It should be tight. It is recommended to fill it not with soil, but with a mineral substrate (made of mineral pebbles). The first watering after transplanting should be done a week later. After such a “resuscitation”, Zamioculcas will definitely start growing.
