What to do if the money tree succulent becomes woody

Causes of lignification:

Many plants will become lignified during cultivation, especially succulents. Most of their lignification is to allow the leaves in the upper part to grow better. Lignification can increase the strength of the branches and better support the branches and leaves in the upper part.

Hazards of lignification:

Although lignification has benefits, it also has certain risks. The chances of hydration, mold, and black rot occurring in the lignified parts will also increase, and if not dealt with in time, it will be disastrous for the plants. Moreover, lignification will reduce the ornamental value of the plant.

How to judge whether the lignified part is healthy:

This is easy to judge. Observe the lignified part and touch it with your hand, but be gentle. If the lignified part feels hard, it means it is still healthy. If it feels a little soft, then you must deal with the lignified part immediately.

How to deal with:

First, trim off all the woody parts, and be sure to do it thoroughly, otherwise it will affect subsequent planting. After pruning, put the remaining part in a cool place to dry for about a day, until the cut is relatively dry. At this time, replace all the original potting soil, add a small amount of fungicide to the new soil, and then plant.

If you want to plant other plants in the replaced potting soil, you must add an appropriate amount of fungicide to the soil and then place it in the sun for 3 to 5 days. It is best to expose it to the sun when the sun is more intense, and then you can use it.
