If the taro is soaked in water, if it is not changed frequently, the plant is easy to be infected, and the bottom will rot, which will give off a bad smell. Add too much nutrition, so the bottom can't bear it, which will lead to putrefaction and stink. The growing environment is airtight and not ventilated, and it will also stink. The rotten place can be cut off and replanted in water to ensure good nutrition and ventilation.

I. The reason for the stink

1. Infrequent water change: the taro in hydroponic culture will be soaked in water. If not, the bacteria in the taro will proliferate. Especially in summer, the temperature will rise and the water quality will be poor. In this way, the plant is easy to be infected when soaked in unclean water, and the bottom will be rotten, which will give off a bad smell.

2. Excessive nutrition: although it needs nutrition supplement in the growth process, if it is not applied according to the needs of the plant, but excessive nutrition is added, so the bottom will be unable to bear, resulting in burnout, which leads to decay, and the smell will become bad.

3. Poor ventilation: if the growing environment is very airtight and there is no normal air circulation, even if the water inside is changed, there will be problems in the water quality, and there will also be odor.
