To prevent this, it is effective to sprinkle a small amount of sand or shells around the plant or use commercially available snail repellents. Additionally, proper drainage is essential to prevent soft rot and fungal diseases that can occur due to excessive moisture. Regularly removing plant debris to improve ventilation is also helpful.
