The roots are all rotten, but if you cut them off with one cut, the flower can live another 20 years!

Clivia

1What to do after the roots rot?

1. Root rot symptoms:

Signs of rot appear at the bottom of the Clivia, leaves fall off, the plant is unstable and can be easily shaken, these are all signs of root rot in the Clivia.

2. Remove the Clivia from the pot:

Take the Clivia out of the pot and clean the soil around the roots.

3. Cut off rotten roots:

Use a sharp knife to cut off the rotten roots and remove the rotten leaves. If the root rot is severe, you can completely cut off the entire root system, but be careful to keep the healthy bulbs.

4. Disinfection and sterilization:

Soak the roots in potassium permanganate solution for half an hour, disinfect them, and place them in a ventilated and cool place to dry.

5. Soak in rooting powder solution:

Dilute the rooting powder with water in a ratio of 1:50, soak the roots of the Clivia in it for two hours, place in a cool place to dry, and set aside.

6. Sphagnum moss root inducement:

7. New root re-send:

Place the Clivia flower pot in a cool and ventilated place, and spray water on the sphagnum moss when you feel it is dry. You can lift the plant from time to time to check the root condition. In about 20 days, the Clivia will be able to grow plump white roots again.

2How to repot?

1. Prepare the soil:

(1) Old bark:

Place some old tree bark at the bottom of the flowerpot. Pine bark is best. Fresh bark needs to be decomposed (sealed with water and exposed to the sun) before it can be used.

(2) Base fertilizer:

Spread a layer of roasted melon seeds and castor seeds on the bark as base fertilizer. It is not advisable to apply fertilizer in the early stage of repotting, so it is necessary to spread a layer of organic fertilizer at the bottom of the soil when repotting.

(3) Soil preparation:

Mix leaf mold and vermiculite in a ratio of 2:1. Pine needle soil, coarse sand, coal slag, sawdust, coconut bran, decomposed peanut shells and melon seed shells, etc. can be mixed into the soil.

2. Put it in the basin:

Sprinkle a few layers of prepared soil on top of the base fertilizer, then spread the roots of the Clivia flat on the soil, hold the Clivia with one hand, and fill the pot with soil with the other hand. When filling the soil, be sure to use the soil to secure the roots, and do not wait until all the soil is filled before compacting it.

3. Watering:

Water immediately after filling the soil, water heavily until water flows out from the water holes at the bottom of the flowerpot.

3How to maintain it in the later stage?

1. Cool and ventilated:

After potting, place the Clivia in a cool and ventilated place.

2. Pay attention to watering:

Be sure to pay attention to watering after potting. Don't let the roots rot again. Flowers should be watered once every 5-7 days. Flower lovers should water according to the size of their pots and the looseness of the soil.

Succulent

1What to do after the roots rot?

1. Root rot symptoms:

The leaves at the bottom of the succulent plant turn black and soft, the stems rot, and can be easily shaken. These are signs of root rot and must be dealt with in a timely manner to prevent the rot from continuing to spread and affecting the entire plant.

2. Remove the succulent plants from the pot:

Remove the succulent from the pot and clean the soil around the roots. The soil should be discarded and the flower pots should be washed clean to avoid secondary infection.

3. Remove rotten roots:

Remove all rotten leaves to reveal green, healthy stems. Use a lighter to sterilize the knife, then cut off the rotten roots, making sure to remove them all.

4. Apply carbendazim:

Apply some carbendazim to the fresh wound for disinfection, and then place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

2How to repot?

1. Prepare the soil:

(1) Ceramic aggregate:

Expanded clay is a relatively large granular soil with good water permeability. Placing it at the bottom of a succulent pot can effectively prevent the roots of the succulent from rotting.

Lay a layer of fine gauze at the bottom of the succulent pot, and then evenly spread a layer of expanded clay.

(2) Soil preparation:

The soil for succulents can be divided into nutrient soil and granular soil.

Nutrient soil: leaf mold, peat soil, rice husk charcoal, coconut bran, sawdust, wood ash, etc.

Granular soil: perlite, Akadama, chlorite, vermiculite, coconut bran, Kanuma soil, iridescent stone, coarse sand, diatomaceous earth, hyuga stone, etc.

Mix nutrient soil and granular soil in a ratio of 3:2 and spread them evenly in the flowerpot.

2. Put it in the basin:

Spread a layer of chlorite (or other granular soil) on the surface of the potting soil, and then place the rootless succulents on the soil surface.

3How to maintain it in the later stage?

1. Do not water for the time being:

In order to allow the succulents to re-root as quickly as possible, do not water them after they are potted. Wait one week before watering them again.

2. Water less after rooting:

The leaves of succulents have a strong ability to store water, so do not water them frequently. Huahua should water her succulents about once every half a month to prevent root rot.

Money Tree

Soak fresh wounds in potassium permanganate solution for half an hour, then place them in a cool place to dry.

5. Apply rooting powder:

Apply some rooting powder on the wound of the money tree, or soak it in a rooting powder solution, dry it and set aside.

2How to repot?

1. Prepare the soil:

(1) Broken tiles

After picking up broken tiles from the roadside, wash them clean and place them at the bottom of the flowerpot. This can enhance the permeability of the soil and prevent root rot again.

(2) Base fertilizer

Spread a layer of fermented chicken manure as base fertilizer. It is not advisable to apply fertilizer when repotting and taking root. At this time, the base fertilizer can slowly provide nutrients to the plant.

(3) Soil preparation

Mix leaf mold and vermiculite in a ratio of 2:1, and then sprinkle it evenly in the flowerpot.

2. Put it in the basin:

When the soil in the flowerpot is filled to 2/3, put the processed money tree in, then hold the money tree with one hand and continue to fill the soil with the other hand. After filling, use your hand to slightly compact the soil.

3. Watering:

Water the money tree thoroughly at one time until water flows out from the holes at the bottom of the pot.

3How to maintain it in the later stage?

1. Cut off the yellow leaves:

After the money tree is re-potted, unhealthy leaves should be cut off to prevent them from continuing to consume the nutrients of the money tree and slowing down the rooting speed.

2. Less watering:

The root system of the money tree is very underdeveloped, so it should be watered less often. Huahua's money tree is relatively small, so it should be watered about once every 10 days. Flower lovers should water it according to the actual situation, and would rather keep it dry than wet.

Pothos

1What to do after the roots rot?

2How to repot?

1. Prepare the potting soil:

(1) Flower pot

If the green ivy is mostly rotten and there are few healthy branches left, you can choose a slightly shallower flowerpot, which will be more conducive to later watering and management.

A layer of gauze should be placed over the water holes in the flowerpot to prevent soil leakage.

(2) Charcoal

The charcoal left over from the barbecue at home was smashed into fingertip-sized pieces and placed at the bottom of the flower pot.

Charcoal has good water permeability and is anti-corrosive, making it a great tool to prevent secondary root rot of green radish.

(3) Base fertilizer

Sprinkle 7 or 8 grains of compound fertilizer on the charcoal. You can use diamine, which is more slow-release and will not enlarge the fertilizer and damage the roots.

(4) Soil preparation

Mix peat soil and cinders (or perlite) in a ratio of 2:1 and sprinkle them evenly in the flowerpot.

2. Put it in the basin:

After filling the pot with soil, poke a few small holes 5-6 cm deep on the surface of the potting soil with your fingers, put the processed green radish branches in, bury them and fix them.

3. Watering:

Water until water flows out of the holes at the bottom of the pot.

3How to maintain it in the later stage?

1. Diffused light ventilation:

After being re-potted, the green radish should be placed in a well-lit and ventilated place, and should not be exposed to direct sunlight immediately, otherwise it will easily wilt.

2. Be careful with watering:

In order to promote the regrowth of roots of the green radish, you can reduce the frequency of watering appropriately, watering it about once every 6-7 days, but be sure to sprinkle water on its leaves frequently to keep it moist and avoid withered leaves.

Chlorophytum

Throw a dozen pieces of gravel at the bottom of the flowerpot to enhance the permeability of the soil.

You can also use pebbles, in short, any coin-sized stones that are insoluble in water will do.

(2) Base fertilizer

Sprinkle a dozen grains of slow-release fertilizer at the bottom of the flowerpot. During the seedling growth period when fertilizer cannot be applied, the base fertilizer can supplement nutrients for the spider plant.

(3) Pine needle soil

Under the many-year-old pine trees, there is fertile pine needle soil. Flower lovers can bring some back to grow flowers. However, you need to peel off the new pine needles on the surface and use the old pine needles underneath.

(4) Soil preparation

Pine needle soil plus some leaf mold, coarse sand, coal slag, etc. is a good soil for growing spider plants.

2. Put it in the basin:

Sprinkle the soil evenly in the pot, fill it up, dig a hole with your hands, put the processed spider plant in, and bury it.
