Can the fortune tree survive after its leaves are dried?
As a common lucky green plant at home, the problem of dry leaves of the lucky tree plagues many plant lovers. Don't panic when you find curled and burnt edges on the leaves. As long as you master the correct maintenance method, you can completely restore the vitality of the rich tree. This article will systematically analyze the causes of dry leaves and scientific treatment plans. Diagnosis of the three main causes of dry leaves of Fortune trees: water imbalance, dual crises, long-term water shortage will lead to root absorption obstacles, and stagnant water and rotten roots will also cause disruption of water transportation. It is recommended to use the "dipping pot method" for testing: soak the pot for 15 minutes and then remove it. If the pot soil is still moist within 2 days, the drainage system needs to be improved. Imbalanced light intensity in summer, direct sunlight for more than 3 hours may cause leaf burns, but long-term shading will hinder photosynthesis. Ideally, receive oblique light before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., and use a sunshade net to filter 60% of the light at noon. The deterioration of the soil environment and hardening the soil will form a "water film effect". It may seem like watering but water cannot penetrate. It is recommended to use a bamboo stick for testing every quarter: insert the soil into the basin for 5 seconds and then pull it out. If the bamboo stick has no traces of moisture, it means that the soil needs to be loosened immediately. During the first aid period of three-stage resuscitation therapy (1-3 days), completely dried leaves were cut off and petioles were retained, and the plants were sprayed with an 800-fold diluted carbendazim solution. Stabilize the ambient temperature at 25-28℃ and control the humidity at about 60%. The repair period (4-15 days) adopts the "progressive water replenishment method": fully water is poured every 3 days in the first week, and the transition to a regular 5-day cycle in the second week. Combined with foliar application of 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to promote the germination of new leaves. During the consolidation period (16-30 days), replace the pottery pots with good air permeability and use a mixed substrate of peat soil + perlite + vermiculite (ratio 5:3:2). Apply slow-release fertilizer once a month to maintain a scattered light environment.
Through accurate diagnosis and phased maintenance, 90% of dry leaf trees can recover their vitality within 30 days. During daily maintenance, pay attention to rotating the flowerpot regularly to ensure uniform light reception. By maintaining the ambient temperature above 15 ° C in winter, the Fortune Tree can continue to maintain its oily green state.
