What if the gentleman orchid has too many roots?

1. Not blooming

Because the plant has not yet flowered, if we cut off its roots, it will easily lead to problems in its absorption, because the root is the most important thing to absorb nutrients. So wait until it blossoms before dealing with the plant, and there are so many roots before flowering, the biggest reason is that we usually apply too much fertilizer to it.

Second, have blossomed

Flowering plants if there are many roots, it should be properly treated, there are two specific ways.

1. Root cutting

The plant is not satisfied with the size of the flowerpot, too many roots will make its space crowded, and it will be very difficult to absorb some nutrients. At this time, it is necessary to cut off the rotten root, the long root and the old root from the root, and then air-dry it. Be careful not to let it bask in the sun. If you want to hurry up, you can use cigarette butts to scald the place where it is cut, and the natural air-drying time will take about half a day. The purpose of letting it dry is to prevent the invasion of bacteria. After that, we will plant it back into the soil and pour it with root water. If there are some diseased roots and dead roots, these need to be cut off, and the adherent roots are also needed, otherwise the growth of the roots will be affected in the future.

2. Ramet

The plant has too many roots, you can consider dividing its roots, so that it can become several small pots. In this way, it can change from the state of bursting to normal, and it can also become several pots of new plants. When ramets, the dead and sick roots should still be cut off, and the good roots need to be taken care of, so that they can not be hurt.
