What causes Crown rot?
Fungal rot at the center (crown) of the plant where the stems meet the soil, caused by burying the plant too deep or overwatering.
How to treat Crown rot
Remove mushy stems. Apply a pinch of wood ash around the base and reduce watering significantly.
How to prevent Crown rot
When transplanting, make sure the crown sits exactly at the soil level, not below it. Water the soil, not the center of the plant.
