What should I do if the roots of the lucky tree are damaged when changing the soil? How to care for it after the roots are damaged

1. What to do if the roots of the lucky tree are damaged by changing the soil

It takes some time for the lucky tree to recover after being repotted, but if you find that its leaves are turning yellow and black or even withering and falling off, it may be that its roots were damaged when it was repotted. Root damage will cause it to absorb nutrients and water more slowly, leading to insufficient nutrient supply and causing the above problems.

The root system of the lucky tree is shallow, and it is easy to damage the roots when repotting. If you find that the roots are damaged, don't worry. You can take it out of the soil first, carefully trim off the damaged roots, then disinfect it and replant it. Then slowly maintain it.

However, after the root system is pruned, it will supply nutrients and water more slowly, while the plant's demand for nutrients and water for growth is still relatively strong. Therefore, it is necessary to trim some of its branches and leaves, which can reduce the evaporation of water and the absorption of nutrients by the leaves. Make sure there are enough nutrients and water to promote root recovery.

2. How to care for the plant after the roots are damaged

First, take the roots out of the soil, cut off the damaged roots, disinfect them and then plant them back into the soil. After that, pay attention to careful maintenance.

It should be noted that you should not apply fertilizer during the period after repotting and the roots are damaged, and you should wait three or four days before watering. When it comes to watering, you need to control the amount of water. Wait until the surface of the potting soil turns white before watering. Also, be sure to water thoroughly, and follow the principle of "water thoroughly when dry." In addition, you can also spray on the leaves to ensure that there is a certain amount of water supply for leaf growth. In terms of environment, it needs to be maintained in a relatively warm environment with scattered light, good ventilation, and avoid strong light.
