1. The necessity of root pruningWhen you first buy Lithops, it usually comes without soil or pots. You need to prepare the tools yourself and then put it in the pot. However, before potting it, it is best to trim the roots first so that it will be easier to plant. In addition, the fibrous roots on newly purchased plants are generally dead, so there is no point in keeping them. Instead, they will affect their future growth. Cut them back and the plant will regrow healthy new roots. 2. Do you need to water after root pruning?Root pruning mainly involves shortening the old roots, while those dead roots can be directly cut off. Watering is required after root pruning. However, you cannot water the plant immediately after potting it. You can water the plant once about three or four days after potting it. Also, it is best to mix some fungicide into the water during the first watering to prevent root rot. 3. Other matters needing attention1. After pruning the roots, you cannot put it in the pot immediately, but place it in a ventilated and cool place to dry for a while. Wait until the wound is almost healed before putting it in the pot. 2. After potting, in addition to not watering it within three or four days, you should also pay attention to its location. It should also be cool and ventilated. After the new roots of Lithops grow out, resume normal management. |
