How can Lulu be resurrected when she is dead?
When the branches and leaves of the beloved green radish withered and the stems wilted, many flower friends thought that the plant was dead and ready to be discarded. In fact, as long as the right method is mastered, 80% of seemingly dead green radishes can be brought back to life. This article will teach you hands-on to realize the miracle of green radish resurrection through 5 key steps. Root diagnosis and rescue of the core resurrection quartet begins with root health testing: gently remove the pot and observe the color of the roots. The healthy root system is milky white and full in texture. If black rotten root systems are found, immediately use disinfection scissors to remove the rotten parts and retain at least 1/3 of the healthy root mass. After treatment, soak in carbendazim solution for 15 minutes to sterilize. The plant pruning technique adopts the "beheading method to promote buds": cut all branches above the soil surface flat, retaining 2-3 latent bud points at the base. Use sharp pruning shears to cut obliquely 45° and apply plant ash to the incision to prevent infection. Pay special attention to retaining aerial roots is the key to resurrection. Build a miniature greenhouse with intelligent temperature control maintenance: cover the plants with transparent plastic bags, and poke 8-10 ventilation holes to maintain air circulation. Place it in a 25 ° C scattered light environment during the day and keep it above 18 ° C at night. When the surface of the basin soil is found to be white, the film is peeled off and sprayed to replenish water, and the humidity is controlled at 60%-70%. When the new branches grow to 15cm long, select stem sections with 2 leaves for cuttage. The substrate is configured according to the ratio of peat soil: perlite: vermiculite =3:1:1, the branches are inserted into the basin in a ring shape, and the leaves face uniformly south. Combined with irrigation with 101 vital element diluent, a 30-day pop-up landscape can be achieved.
Through the four-step linkage of root restoration, scientific pruning, environmental control, and precise cuttage, even completely deciduous green radish can regain its vitality within 2 months. During daily maintenance, pay attention to avoiding low-temperature freezing damage and stagnant water and rotten roots, and regularly supplement nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced nutrient solution to keep green radish strong vitality.
