Transplant Shock
Transplant shock is a stress response that occurs when plants are abruptly moved from one environment to another.

Root damage during the move is the primary cause, making it nearly impossible to completely avoid some degree of stress.

Root Rot
Root rot is a serious fungal disease that affects the root system of plants, causing them to decay and die. It is primarily caused by overwatering, poor drainage, or soil-borne fungi such as Pythium, Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia, and Fusarium. The disease thrives in waterlogged conditions where roots are deprived of oxygen, making them susceptible to fungal infection.
