Calibrachoa (also known as ‘Million bells’) is a flowering plant that is a perennial in mild climates but regarded as an annual in cold climates that experience frost as it is not cold hardy and they die back in Winter.
The most common reason for a dying calibrachoa is because of root rot due to overly damp soil. Calibrachoa prefer a soak and dry pattern of watering, so if the soil is consistently damp because of poor drainage or over watering, then calibrachoa leaves turn brown and droop with a dying appearance.
Calibrachoa Dying of Root Rot (Calibrachoa Leaves Turning Brown) The most common reason your Calibrachao is dying is because of excessive moisture around the roots.
Calibrachoa are native to South America and Mexico where they thrive in well draining soil, open areas and full sun.
– The use of trays underneath pots or containers. Calibrachoa grows very well in pots and containers, however if you place a saucer or drip tray under the pot then this prevents excess water from escaping after watering or rainfall and causes the soil to become saturated which is the cause of root rot.
– Pots and containers without drainage holes in the base. Calibrachoa requires good soil drainage or the plant dies. If your pot or container is decorative
it may not necessarily have drainage holes in the bottom so the excess water cannot escape and the roots develop root rot so the plant turns brown and dies back.
