What about the dry edge of the rotten leaves of tiger thorn plum in the latest winter?

Juniperus tigris is a kind of flowering plant that many pot friends like to raise. Because of its high ornamental value, it is more and more widely used. However, as a family user, it is generally cultivated as a potted plant for appreciation. What is important is that the tiger thorn plum not only blossoms beautifully, but also has a particularly long flowering period. If it is well maintained, it is even expected to bloom all the year round.

However, after entering winter, some potted tiger thorn plum may appear rotten leaves, dry edges and other bad growth conditions. It will inevitably lead to the ornamental value of the potted plant of Tiger Juniper also greatly reduced, of course, this is also a phenomenon we are very reluctant to see.

First of all, we have to check the ambient temperature to see if the plants are frozen, because the cold resistance of Tiger Juniper is relatively poor, and it is easy to freeze when the temperature is too low. If it is frozen, take timely measures to keep warm; if it is not frozen, it is also necessary to clean up the rotten leaves in time to avoid breeding harmful bacteria.

However, tiger thorn plum is a kind of plant with thorns on its branches. Be careful when cleaning rotten leaves to avoid being stabbed. Moreover, its juice was also poisonous, which was easy to cause harm to the human body. If frostbitten branches are found during the cleaning process, they also need to be cut off in time.

In short, whether it is rotten leaves or rotten branches, they should be cleaned up in time to avoid infection after decay and destroy the growth of plants. And after pruning, the wound needs to be treated. You can sprinkle some carbendazim powder on the wound, or you can apply some plant ash to inhibit bacterial invasion.

In addition, after pruning, we also need to observe the humidity of the basin soil. Tiger thorn plum prefers a dry pot soil environment, afraid of waterlogging, especially in winter. Therefore, watering, be sure to wait until the pot soil is very dry before watering. Winter maintenance, try to do rather dry not wet, otherwise too much humidity, then easy to cause stem rot phenomenon.

If you want to change the pot, it is recommended to wait until the temperature reaches 15°C or above in the spring of next year. When changing pots, remove the surrounding old soil and replant with new pot soil with high porosity and strong air permeability. And after changing pots, you can't rush to water, because it itself is more drought-resistant, and just after changing pots, it hasn't completely served pots, so don't water the pots if the soil is not very dry.
