Can the fortune tree survive with only roots left? How to reroot after root rot

1. Can you survive?

If only the roots of the money tree are left, it will easily die without any remedial measures. But if remedial measures are taken, and if the trunk is not completely rotten, and if it is properly maintained, there is a high chance that it will survive. Rotten tree trunks must be cut down in time and sterilized, otherwise they will continue to rot.

2. Re-rooting method

1. Pruning: After removing the plant from the pot, you need to use a sterilized blade to cut off all rotten roots. If they are not cleaned up, reinfection will occur. When pruning, stop when healthy roots are exposed.

2. Disinfection: After pruning, soak it in carbendazim for disinfection, or apply a layer of wood ash on it to avoid bacterial infection. After disinfection, it needs to be dried. Before planting, you can apply an appropriate amount of rooting powder to accelerate rooting.

3. Planting: After all the processing is completed, replant it in new potting soil and do not use the old soil. Water it appropriately, keep it slightly moist, and place it in a cool place to wait for it to take root.
