An article about the topic of changing to hydroponics after the root rot of a fortune tree, please see the detailed introduction below.
Most of the reasons for the root rot of a fortune tree are due to excessive watering or water accumulation in the pot. So, when this situation occurs, should we give up directly, or is there a better method? In order not to cause waste, the editor has specially found the hydroponic method shared by a flower enthusiast after the root rot of a fortune tree, let's understand it together!
Flower enthusiast's situation: Bought a cheap fortune tree on the side of the road, which was growing well all the time. In March, I went on a business trip and watered the fortune tree and put it on the balcony, and it rained for a week during that time. Later, when I brought it back into the house, I didn't pay much attention to it and watered it less. In mid-April, I felt that the leaves were a bit yellow, thinking that it might lack nutrients, so I wanted to open the soil and put some fertilizer in. As a result, the whole tree came out accidentally, and the roots and underground stems were all rotten.
The estimated reasons for the rotten roots are: 1. The soil of the roots is mainly composed of decomposing grass leaves and other humus, which is rotting with water. 2. It rained heavily for a week during the business trip, and the tree was drenched on the balcony, coupled with the humid weather, so the soil never dried.

1. Incision: Remove all the rotten parts of the fortune tree.
2. Disinfection: I used carbendazim for disinfection, for half an hour.
3. Drying: Drying is very important. I used more than 10 days to dry it. The drying time mainly depends on the climate and the drying condition of the trunk. During the drying period, I basically sprayed water every three hours because I was free at home, so I didn't plan to remove the leaves. (If there's no time, it is recommended to remove the leaves.)
4. Submerging: For the root powder, I applied it directly and not by soaking, but the amount should not be too much.
