How to water the Fortune Tree after changing the soil
The green fortune tree is a common leaf-viewing plant at home. The most critical watering process after changing pots often leaves novices at a loss. The carefully organized maintenance experience will help you avoid common misunderstandings and master the scientific rhythm of water replenishment. After pot change, 72 hours of gold maintenance, dormant period, root system protection, capillary roots damaged during transplanting, require a healing period of 2-3 days. At this time, the soil's own moisture is sufficient to maintain demand. It is recommended to change the basin in the morning, use daytime ventilation to promote wound healing, and conduct the first water penetration on the evening of the 3rd day. The details of the root-fixing water operation are slowly poured along the basin wall until water comes out from the bottom outlet, which is completed twice at an interval of 10 minutes. It is easier to activate roots using warm water around 25℃, and a small amount of rooting powder (concentration of 0.1%) can be added to enhance resilience. Emergency treatment plan for stagnant water, lightly submerged rescue flowerpot tilted at 45 degrees to drain stagnant water, and use bamboo chopsticks to poke ventilation holes in the soil surface. Cooperate with electric fans to accelerate air circulation (more than 1.5 meters away), and suspend any form of water replenishment within 72 hours. When yellow leaves fall off during severe root rot surgery, remove the pot for inspection. Use disinfectant scissors to remove the browned root system and retain healthy white roots. After soaking in potassium permanganate solution (0.05%) for 20 minutes, replace it with new soil containing 30% perlite and replant it. Tips for water management in four seasons: Humidity monitoring skills Insert a bamboo stick and let it stand for 5 minutes to observe the humidity of the debris unearthed from the belt. Or use a professional soil hygrometer to replenish water when the value is less than 30%. Pottery pots evaporate faster than plastic pots, and the watering frequency needs to be increased by 20%. In special seasons, leaf spray is adjusted in the morning and evening in summer instead of frequent watering. In winter, the dipping pot method is used: place the flowerpot on the water tray for 15 minutes, and automatically absorb water through the bottom hole to avoid frostbite on the roots.
By observing the germination speed of new buds and leaf glossiness, we can judge whether the rhythm of water replenishment is appropriate. Remember the principle of "better dry than wet" and rotate the flowerpot regularly to ensure that it receives even light, so that your fortune tree is always in its best condition.
