Four Steps to Revive and Care for Plants
Secrets to Restoring Appearance
For yellowing red-handled flowers, use a 45-degree diagonal cut method to remove the necrotic parts, retaining 3-5 healthy leaves. Applying wood ash to the cut can increase the survival rate by 30%.
Soil Improvement Solution
Use a ratio of 4:3:3 for perlite + decayed leaf soil + pine needle soil to effectively improve the original compacted soil issue. Make sure to retain 1/3 of the original soil ball as protective soil.
