Composition of the potting soil depends upon variety of plants and differs from each other. Most of us have seen gardeners while digging the soil around plants to loosen them so that the soil does not become hard. This effort is put up by farmers also to improve the health of crops (by ploughing the farms). Reason for doing this hard work is – to provide maximum aeration to plants’ rooting system.

Fungal attack or root rot with Adenium, Snake plants, ZZ plants, Cactii is very common in areas where moisture level is high (coastal areas, North Eastern India etc.). If we have cut leaves, branch or root zone of such plants, due to any reasons, we should use fungicides to avoid infection.Ideally, we should avoid cutting leaves of such plants, during rainy season.
