# Should I be concerned??? I repotted my Strelitzia a few weeks ago due…

_Publié par Dave le 2024-04-26_

Should I be concerned??? I repotted my Strelitzia a few weeks ago due to root rot and he’s shown signs of surviving and appears rather healthy. However, I’ve started to notice some white residue building around the sticks I placed in. I’ve lifted them up and away from the soil for now but is this a sign root rot is returning? The soil does feel moist about 2 inches below the surface…

It’s most likely mineral deposits from your water

I don’t think so, it might just be stuff from the soil , I have chopsticks in a lot of plants and it has that , but it’s made of wood so idk if material is matters .

The wood sticks just suck up water and start to get a bit damp I find, the look of the growth should die down a bit as the plant dries
