Method for treating frostbite on a发财树 (Fortune Tree) and skills for reviving a rotted root of a发财树 (Fortune Tree).

Can a frozen fortune tree survive?In the cold winter season, many flower friends' fortune trees may experience drooping leaves, frozen branches, and even rot. This article will analyze the rescue techniques for two common problems, frostbite and root rot, through practical cases to help you revitalize the fortune tree.I. Emergency Treatment Plan for Frozen Fortune Tree1.1 Initial Emergency Response to FrostbiteUpon discovering frostbite, immediately move the plant to a buffered environment of 10-15°C, and avoid placing it directly in a warm room. Spray the plant surface with warm water (about 25°C) three times a day for two days. Observe whether the branches show transparency or wrinkles; if not, the survival rate can reach 80%.1.2 Temperature Gradient Adjustment MethodEstablish a temperature recovery gradient: maintain 15°C in the first week → increase to 18°C in the second week → stabilize at 20-22°C in the third week. Use a transparent plastic bag to create a mini greenhouse, and ventilate for two hours daily. It is recommended to use a thermometer and hygrometer to monitor environmental data in real-time.1.3 Pruning and Management of New GrowthSelective pruning should be performed seven days after frostbite: retain branches with buds, making diagonal cuts 0.5 cm away from the buds. After pruning, apply healing ointment and use brassinolactone (diluted 2000 times) to promote the germination of new buds. When the new leaves reach three, you can apply a special nutrient solution for ornamental plants.II. Complete Revival Process for Rotting Roots of Fortune Tree2.1 Criteria for Assessing the Degree of DecayUse the three-finger pressing method to test: if the stem skin is elastic when pressed lightly, it indicates mild decay (survival rate 70%); if it sinks明显, it indicates severe decay (survival rate ≤30%). Make a longitudinal incision in the decayed area, and if the brown lesion does not reach the core of the xylem, it can be treated.2.2 Surgical TreatmentUse a sterile knife to cut the lesion along the edge of healthy tissue and apply a mixture of carbendazim and root-promoting powder (2:1 ratio) to the wound. Focus on treating the junction of the roots, retaining at least three main roots. After treatment, hang it in the shade to dry for 24-48 hours until the cut surface forms a film.2.3 Key Points for Revival CareUse a sterile matrix of perlite: vermiculite = 3:1 to repot, and use the atomized water supply method for the first 15 days. After new roots have germinated, water with EM bacteria solution (diluted 500 times) monthly to strengthen the roots. It is recommended to use LED plant growth lights, providing 6 hours of illumination daily to promote photosynthesis.Through scientific temperature control and precise lesion treatment, even severely damaged fortune trees can be revitalized. In daily care, it is necessary to maintain a suitable temperature of 15-25°C, control the watering frequency (15-20 days/time in winter), and regularly inspect the base of the trunk. Remember: early detection and treatment are the keys to successful rescue!
