Can the fortune tree survive after being sawed off?
This article guide: The cultivation content of the fortune tree in the flower clinic, can the fortune tree survive after being sawed off? Next is a comprehensive introduction.
It is common for fortune trees to rot their roots, so many flower enthusiasts want to know if the fortune tree can survive after being sawed off. To be honest, the editor has done this before and has also looked up the cases of other flower enthusiasts. It can be told to the flower friends that the upper part of the fortune tree has almost no chance of rooting after being sawed off. However, the lower part has a high chance of rooting.
When seeing that the fortune tree has no chance of rooting after being sawed off, flower friends must be severely discouraged, but this is a fact. Many flower friends have tried to replant the healthy trunk, but in the end, it did not root. Although the fortune tree we see has also been sawed off, its roots are genuine and solid, not from the main stem cuttings.
Let's look at the next picture. We can see that the trunk is very fresh, and the flower friend has also treated the trunk. In this case, if water culture is used, there is a small probability of forming healing tissue, and only healing tissue can root. However, this flower friend directly planted it in soil, not properly controlling soil moisture, and the final result could only continue to rot.
Let's look at the next picture. After the flower friend cut the fortune tree, they used the method of drying and then planting, and the survival rate was basically zero. We all know that the easiest to survive cuttings are semi-lignified branches. It is difficult for the lignified trunk to root.
Therefore, if our fortune tree has rotten roots, we should first check the root rot condition and whether the bark is healthy from top to bottom. In some cases, after the fortune tree's roots rot, the inside of the bark has actually rotted. If the root rot is not severe, we can clean up the rotten part, trim the roots, and as long as there is root tissue, we can repot it with new, moist but not wet soil. This gives a high chance of rooting, which mainly depends on the vitality of the stem.
If the lower part of the fortune tree has rotted, thinking of sawing it in the middle and replanting the non-rotten upper part, the probability of rooting is almost zero. It is more practical to try to cut the semi-lignified small branches from the top. Those interested can refer to "The Illustration of Propagation Method for Fortune Tree Cuttings."
The above-sharing method of whether the fortune tree can survive after being sawed off is for everyone's reference.
