Treatment methods for root rot of lucky tree

1. Reasons

The reasons for root rot of the lucky tree are generally due to: excessive watering, excessive fertilization or poor air permeability. Excessive watering will cause water accumulation, and once water accumulates, it will cause root rot. Too much fertilization will cause excess nutrients to accumulate, which will burn its roots and cause root rot. If the air permeability of the potting soil is poor, its roots cannot breathe normally, and if there is water accumulation or excess nutrients, the roots will easily rot.

Watering should be moderate and not too frequent. Be sure to wait until the soil is dry before watering. Do not apply too much fertilizer. The principle is to apply thin fertilizers frequently. The concentration of fertilizer should not be too high. Keep the potting soil sufficiently breathable and provide appropriate light.

2. Treatment methods

1. Take the lucky tree out of the potting soil, gently clean the old soil from the roots, and then rinse the roots with clean water.

2. Use sterilized tools to cut off the rotten roots and stems and leaves until clean and healthy wounds are exposed. Then soak the roots in potassium permanganate for about 30 minutes. Take them out and apply an appropriate amount of rooting powder, and then place them in a cool place to dry.

3. Prepare a flowerpot and well-ventilated soil, insert it into the soil, hold the lucky tree in one hand and bury the soil with the other hand, finally compact the soil and water it thoroughly.
