Aloe, or as the flower is popularly called, century plant, is an unpretentious plant.

Despite this, when growing it, you can encounter a number of problems, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Thus, aloe owners often notice that their leaves have become too soft and pale, and sometimes even begin to fall off.

This behavior of the flower may be due to root rot.

If you suspect that the plant roots have begun to rot, you should immediately begin “resuscitation” actions.

To save the aloe, remove it from the pot and remove the roots damaged by rot.

Sprinkle the cut areas with ash or sulfur and place the plant in new soil.

If, when replanting, you discover that the root system is completely damaged, unfortunately, you will not be able to save the flower.

The only option is to take cuttings and start growing a new plant.
