What to do with the rotten roots of a rich tree
As a common household green plant, Fortune Tree's rotten root problem puzzles many plant lovers. Root rot not only affects plant growth, but can also lead to the death of the entire plant in severe cases. This article systematically explains first aid and prevention methods for root rot through practical illustrations and scientific maintenance guidelines. When the key details of the four-step removal treatment of rotten roots are found to be yellow and wilted, watering needs to be stopped immediately. Tilt the flowerpot and tap the wall of the pot, hold the base of the main stem and slowly remove the plant. While retaining the heart soil, use a soft brush to clean the attached soil to avoid secondary damage to healthy roots. The standard process for root pruning uses alcohol-burned pruning shears and cut flat 2cm along the upper edge of the rotten part. The incision should show healthy white tissue, and the half-rotting main root should be completely removed. At least 1/3 of the total residual root system needs to be retained after pruning. The core point of disinfection and sterilization is to mix carbendazim and water at a ratio of 1:800, soak the roots for 2 hours and then remove them. Dry in a cool and ventilated place for 24-48 hours until a protective film is formed on the incision. Avoid direct sunlight causing dehydration. Poin-changing skills and substrate ratio, what to do with rotten roots?
The height of the ceramsite bottom needs to reach 1/3 of the basin, and a mixed substrate of peat soil: perlite: vermiculite =5:3:2 is used. After being put into the pot, place it in a scattered light environment to maintain the micro-moist state of the substrate, and gradually return to normal maintenance after 15 days. The golden rule for water management in three-dimensional systems to prevent root rot is strictly followed in winter by the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet". After the basin soil is completely dry, water is slowly injected along the basin edge. In summer, in conjunction with temperature changes, the "three-finger detection method" is adopted: water can be replenished only when the soil on the surface layer is dry. The key parameters of environmental control maintain a suitable growth temperature of 18-28℃, and the air humidity is controlled at 60%-75%. Turn the flowerpot 180 degrees every season to ensure that the plants receive even light. Install a micro circulation fan and ventilate for more than 2 hours a day. Disease monitoring and early warning mechanism applies Bacillus subtilis biological inoculant every month to establish a root protection barrier. When white mycelium is found to appear on the surface of the basin soil, hymoxazole solution is immediately poured into the basin soil for prevention and control.
Through scientific first aid treatment and systematic preventive measures, more than 90% of rotten roots and rich trees can be fully restored. It is recommended to check the health of the root system every six months and adjust the maintenance plan based on seasonal changes to keep the green plants strong vitality.
