How to maintain the roots of elm trees? Can old elm tree stumps be planted alive without roots?

1. How to grow roots

1. Scientific watering: Improper watering methods during the maintenance process will result in too much or insufficient water in the pot, which will affect the normal growth of the plant roots. If you water too much, the soil in the pot will remain moist for a long time, causing difficulty in breathing for the roots, leading to root rot, and in severe cases, the death of the plant. If you water too little, the roots will not grow properly due to insufficient moisture. Therefore, when watering the plants, it is best to follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and watering when the soil is wet".

2. Choose better water quality: Water quality is very important. It is best not to water the plants directly with tap water. It is best to use fish water or tea water, as the water contains trace elements needed for plant growth, which can increase the production of fungi and allow the roots to grow better.

2. Can the plant survive without roots?

With proper planting methods, old elm tree stumps can be planted alive even without roots. If you want to revitalize an old elm tree stump without roots, you need to do some processing on it first. Place the old stump in a cool and well-ventilated place, and then spray some water on the stump every day to keep it at a certain humidity. You can also water the roots of the old stump with some rooting water to encourage it to take root faster. Then choose loose, breathable and well-drained soil for planting. After planting, you cannot water it immediately. It usually takes 3-5 days before watering. Otherwise, the wounds of the old plants will rot, leading to the serious consequence of dead stumps.
