During the growth period, Helleborus can often see aphids or black spots and other harm. After the onset, there will be many spots on the leaves, which will gradually become black and wither. It is better to pay attention to ventilation in the early stage, and spray diluted soap solution or oxidized dimethoate solution once a week until the improvement.

2. Change basins

The root system of Helleborus grows fast, so it is best to change the pot at the end of spring every year. After all the dead branches and diseased and insect branches are cut off, the rotten roots and dead roots above should be cut off, and some bone powder should be put in the bottom of the pot, and then replanted for curing, so as to promote the healthy growth of the root system.
