What if the new camellia root is rotten?

Camellia, also known as camellia, is not only a traditional flower in China, but also one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Camellia has a wide variety of flowers, rich and colorful flowers, with both single and double flowers. It is a rare flower in horticulture in the world. It is very suitable for landscaping, greening, courtyard and other places. Today, the pro-agricultural network will introduce to you a problem that will be encountered in camellia cultivation-rotten roots. Rotten root is a common problem in the process of camellia planting. If it is not handled properly, not only the growth of camellia will be affected, but also may die, then what should we do after we encounter the rotten root of camellia?

If we want to understand the solution after the rotten roots of camellias, we must first know the reasons for the rotten roots of camellias. Here, the pro-agricultural network summarizes three aspects for you, all of which are several aspects that we will encounter in the process of daily maintenance. Let's take a look.

1. Improper basin soil

The flowerpots selected for cultivating camellias should choose flowerpots with good air permeability and suitable diameter, so that camellias can have sufficient space to grow and the roots can breathe and stretch. Generally choose tile basin, purple sand basin is better, porcelain basin is not suitable, because it is not breathable enough. If the camellias are grown in airtight porcelain pots or flowerpots that are too small, the roots will rot because they can't stretch or breathe.

And the choice of soil is also fastidious, although the requirements of camellias on the soil is not strict, but if you encounter that kind of soil drainage is relatively poor, it is easy to cause rotting roots. Reasonable soil is loose, breathable and rich in humus, and not too alkaline. The better farming soil is mountain soil plus pine needles or river sand. You can also buy some special soil for flowers.

Second, improper watering

According to the experience of pro-agriculture network, the rotting roots of most plants are closely related to improper watering. Watering too much will accumulate water, watering too much can not be drained, these are very dangerous, the key to watering is to look at the basin soil watering. So how to water the camellias is the most correct? Spring and autumn season, the growth is relatively fast, the demand for water is greater, watering will be dry and wet, dry and thoroughly irrigated, but do not wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. In winter, watering should be properly reduced, because camellias grow slowly in winter, so the soil should be drier. Note that individual varieties will blossom in early spring, at this time to a small amount of watering, and pay attention to the watering temperature, so as to avoid frostbite.

III. Improper fertilization

Excessive fertilization is also one of the reasons leading to rotten roots, mainly due to frequent fertilization or too high concentration of fertilizer, resulting in root burning phenomenon, resulting in root rot. Camellias do not like thick fertilizer, so when applying fertilizer, do not apply thick fertilizer, in each growth stage of fertilization should be applied different fertilizer, pay attention to balance, not partial application. Fertilizer had better be used after ripening so as not to burn roots.

These are the three reasons for the rotten roots of camellias introduced by pro-farm networks. if there are rotten roots of camellias planted in your home, you can refer to the above three points to analyze why the roots are rotten, but then take remedial measures. the specific treatment is as follows: after camellia rotten roots, the first thing to do is to dig out the roots, clean the soil, and then observe the location of the rotten roots. Cut off all the rotten roots, and you can cut a little more here to ensure that the rotten parts of the roots are not rotten, disinfect them immediately after cutting, and then replant them. The new basin can choose the mixed soil of red soil and sand, which should be watered after planting, and then reasonable maintenance should be carried out.
