The reason for the withered stem of the latest money tree

Artemisia angustifolia is very common in China, and it is a kind of potted plant with high ornamental value. Now it is basically distributed in all parts of our country, but many people are raising money trees. The stem of the money tree is often withered due to management reasons, resulting in a decline in the ornamental value of the money tree. So what on earth causes the stem of the money tree to shrivel? Today, the editor will give you a brief introduction. Let's take a look at it.

1. Overwatering

When the tree is growing, the demand for water is not very great, and its drought tolerance is also strong. So when we are breeding, we don't need to water it often. If too much watering, then the root respiration is very disadvantageous, but also affect the plant to water, nutrition absorption, resulting in the stem gradually withered. Therefore, when we are breeding, we must pay attention to control the watering. Generally speaking, when the money tree is growing, it can be watered once every two weeks or so. If the climate is really too dry, then you can appropriately shorten the watering frequency, but also keep the soil dry.

2. The temperature is too low

In fact, the money tree originally belongs to a kind of warm zone plant, so the temperature requirement is still relatively high. The money tree likes to grow in a warmer environment, and its cold resistance is also relatively poor. Therefore, when raising the money tree, if the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, then the money tree is very easy to be frozen. After being frozen, the stem of the money tree will gradually dry up. Therefore, during the growing period of the money tree, the temperature should be kept at about 25-30 degrees. If the temperature is less than 10 degrees, then it is necessary to do a good job of keeping warm in time to avoid freezing damage.

3. Root rot

Root rot is also one of the main reasons for the withering of the stem of the tree. When the tree is growing, if the root is rotten, it will not only affect its respiration. As a result, the ability to absorb water and nutrients will become worse, resulting in the phenomenon of stem dryness. So when we are breeding, if there is the phenomenon of rotten roots, then we should pay attention to take the plant out of the pot immediately. Then disinfect the scissors and cut off the rotten roots. Then cut the mouth with carbendazim and other agents for disinfection, and then control the amount of water and fertilizer, maintain good ventilation to avoid rotting roots again.

4. Soil consolidation

The money tree likes to grow on a soft and fertile soil. Therefore, we need to ensure the quality of the soil, if the soil is consolidated and sticky, then it will affect the growth of the roots of the tree, and it is difficult for the water to permeate. Therefore, we should pay attention to do a good job of changing pots and soil every year. If there is no regular change of soil, it will easily lead to all kinds of bad phenomena such as stem dryness of money trees. If the stem is withered because of the soil, then the new soil should be replaced in time and planted with sandy loam with strong permeability. Then loosen the soil regularly to improve the air permeability of the soil.

The above is a brief introduction to the reasons for the withering of the stem of the money tree. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
