Be careful while filling or draining the water, so that the soil does not become excessively wet. Make holes in the soil and use proper mixture It is important to make small holes in the potting soil so that there is proper circulation of air and water. Also use sandy or mulching soil which helps in drainage. Use natural fungicides:
