What to do if the green radish freezes to death in winter

1. Select the root system

After the green radish is frozen to death, the possibility of complete revival is very slim. However, among a full pot of plants, a few may be completely frozen to death and need to be picked out. Take the plant out of the pot, clean the soil from the roots, choose the plant with green leaves and fresh roots, and be careful not to damage the roots when taking it out. The roots cannot be rotten and must have nodes before they can be used.

2. Proper cutting

The survival rate of these roots when replanted is not high and they need simple treatment. Use a sterilized knife to cut the rhizome into small sections, keeping the nodes in each section and remembering to leave some roots.

3. Pot soil preparation

The potting soil can be plain sand or plain soil, because the roots and rhizomes that have been frozen cannot withstand the nutrients from fertilizers. Disinfect before pouring it into the basin to avoid bacteria infecting the wound. You don't need to pour too much, so you can water less when watering, making it easier for the roots and stems to replenish water.

4. Planting and maintenance

Replant the cut rhizomes at a certain distance apart. When planting, insert the node into the soil, but do not damage the sprouts and roots. After planting, pour a little water and place it in a ventilated place. After germination and rooting, it can be exposed to sunlight appropriately. After the plant grows new leaves, it can be transplanted and repotted.
