What should I do if the roots of wealth become soft?
When the root system of a fortune tree softens, it often means that the plant is facing a survival crisis. As a star variety of indoor green plants, the root health of Fortune Tree directly affects the overall growth. This paper will analyze in detail the key points of rotten root treatment and maintenance through four key steps. First aid treatment process for rotten roots comprehensively cleans up rotten tissue. After discovering that the roots of Fortune are soft, surgical treatment is needed immediately. Use disinfected gardening scissors to completely cut off the browned and pus roots to retain healthy milky white roots. During operation, pay attention to retaining the main root structure, and control the resection range to 1 cm above the damaged part to ensure that the incision is smooth and conducive to healing. The scientific disinfection and sterilization plan recommends using a composite solution of carbendazim 800 times solution and rooting powder, and soaking it for 30 minutes. New biological fungicides (such as Bacillus subtilis) can replace chemicals to form protective biofilms. After disinfection, leave it in a ventilated place for 2-3 hours, and wait until the incision is completely dried before placing it on the basin. Key measures for rejuvenation maintenance Light control strategy Post-operation maintenance must follow the principle of "scattering first and gradual light filling." Maintain weak light at 2000-3000lux for the first two weeks, and increase to 5000lux in the fourth week. It is recommended to use a smart fill light to provide 8 hours of 450nm blue light regularly every day to promote root cell division. Precise management of water and fertilizer uses the "dry and wet cycle method" for watering, and it is watered thoroughly when the soil moisture drops to 15%. When combined with the use of root-promoting nutrient solution containing fulvic acid, the EC value is controlled at 1.2-1.5mS/cm. In the first three months, solid fertilizers were stopped and foliar spraying of alginate (diluted 2000 times) was used to supplement trace elements.
Through a systematic treatment plan and refined management in the later period, the rotten roots and rich trees can be restored to vitality within 60-90 days. It is recommended to conduct monthly root health checks, use pH test papers to monitor soil pH, and maintain a slightly acidic environment of 5.5-6.5 to fundamentally prevent the recurrence of rotten roots.
