Does Clivia still sprout after being rotten?
As an elegant indoor leaf-viewing plant, Clivia leaf rot often troubles growers. When a plant is found to have a "rotten heart" phenomenon, timely taking scientific treatment measures is the key to restoring growth. This paper will systematically analyze the key points of maintenance after rotten cores through treatment plans for different degrees of rot. Survival possibility after rotten heart of Clivia: Evaluation standard for degree of decomposition Observing the discoloration range of the base of the leaves is the first step to judge the possibility of treatment: 1. Mild rot: Only the central 2-3 leaf sheaths appear transparent 2. Moderate rot: More than 5 leaf bases are blackened and softened 3. Severe rot: Implementation plan for graded treatment of complete liquefaction and necrosis of the growth point, treatment process for mild rotten heart 1. Using an alcohol lamp burning scalpel, obliquely cut the damaged tissue at a 45° angle. 2. Apply charcoal powder to the wound surface to form a protective layer 3. Adopt overhead maintenance method: Place the plant 3 cm high to promote ventilation 4. Environmental control: Maintain 25℃/60% humidity/2000Lux scattered light rescue strategy for severe decay. When the decay depth reaches 1/2 of the false bulb: ·Completely peel off the necrotic scales to expose healthy white tissue·Soak in 0.1% carbendazim solution for 20 minutes·Switch to pure water moss to plant and maintain the substrate moisture·Coordinate with LED fill light to irradiate it for 10 hours a day. Key points for postoperative maintenance 1. Water management: Use atomized water supply within 14 days after surgery. Nutritional supplement: 50ppm gibberellin was applied starting from week 3. New shoot monitoring: New leaf primordia are usually visible within 60-90 days. Disease prevention: Through scientific wound treatment and precise environmental control, about 78% of moderately rotten plants can be regenerated every month. It is recommended to keep the pH value of the substrate at 5.5-6.5 during daily maintenance and use bottom infiltration irrigation to supply water to prevent recurrence of rotten heart from the root cause.
