We then recommend a temperature of approx. 20\u00b0C and finally light that is not directly exposed to the sun.\n</p><h4>Then watering is also very important, the plant must always be moist, not dry and not full of water.\n</h4><p>If these small steps are not followed, the plant could suffer consequences: Flowers fall, leaves turn yellow and rotten roots that have to be cut off irreparably .

In fact, there is a way to regrow completely healthy roots, and now we will see them.\n</p><p>Once you have completely cut off the roots, remove the branches as well and carefully cut off the base where the roots attach.
