Follow the great god Xiugen because if you don't fix it, you will die? Are you sure you really understand?

When it comes to the roots of meat, the most common are probably three points: washing, pruning, and drying!

Root washing is to wash away harmful succulent things such as germs and eggs.

Root pruning is to get rid of old and withered roots, so that new roots can grow faster and healthier.

Root drying is to allow the wound on the root system to dry and heal, so as to prevent the wound from rotting in wet soil, especially after pruning the meat root system, after everything is trimmed, regardless of the thickness of the root, there will be a wound in the cross section. not drying the root can easily lead to black rot.

Newly purchased succulent plants generally need root pruning. Because the plant may have been out of the pot for many days when it gets home, the fibrous root will dry up and die, and the withered root planted directly in the soil will become moldy and deteriorate, affecting the normal growth of the root and the normal growth of the plant.

In addition, pests or eggs may be attached to the roots, so root pruning is recommended for newly purchased plants. For plants with weak roots, such as flower cages, they can be avoided by physical and chemical methods, including thorough disinfection of planting media, frequent use of fungicides in the early stage of potting, and so on.

Under what circumstances do you need root pruning?

Whether the root is rotten or not should also be checked by pruning and pinching. Root problems are often reflected in the plant itself, and if succulent plants grow normally, there is no need to trim the roots deliberately.

If the plant is potable and has resumed growth, after putting aside the influence of temperature, humidity, breadth, water and fertilizer and other factors, if it does not grow during the growing period and does not blossom during the flowering period, it is necessary to check the root state and trim the root.

Plants on the basin for many years will be due to the pulverization of granular plant materials, resulting in impervious roots, impermeable plants, affecting plant growth; normal root drying, decay and root secretions lead to soil acidification; or overcrowding leads to plant metamorphosis, overgrowth, etc., at this time you need to turn the basin, homeopathy to repair rotten roots, rotten roots, dead roots.

Of course, this does not mean that the root must be trimmed after many years on the pot, but it still depends on the state of the meat itself. if the succulent plant still grows normally after many years on the pot, it may also lead to succulent death at this time.

When to fix the root

There is a saying that summer-type succulent plants are suitable for turning pots and roots in spring, while winter-type species need to turn pots and trim roots after summer dormancy. This is naturally reasonable, but none of this kind of experience can be fully applied, because the mind of the succulent little guy is also rapidly changing.

After root pruning, there must be a recovery period, when the plant is in good condition, the root restoration is relatively fast; when the plant is nearing the end of dormancy, the root restoration is fast, so the time period of root pruning can also be adjusted to avoid the two periods of deep dormancy and rapid growth, and the cold weather in spring needs to dry the roots for a few more days.

But Xiugen is not in the growing season, otherwise watching other people grow a bunch of beautiful pictures that can be dazzled during the growing period, while their own succulent plants have not changed, they definitely have the impulse to jump off the roof.

Classification of the importance of root pruning

On closer inspection, the degree of root trimming can also be divided into mild, moderate and severe.

Mild root pruning is for those with weak roots or excellent growth but poor plant material that needs to be replaced or overcrowded. It is recommended not to trim the roots or as long as the rotten and dry roots are removed.

Moderate root pruning is aimed at succulent plants with poor growth, weak root development or root diseases and insect pests. In this case, all fibrous roots and part of the main roots can be removed to induce them to send out new roots.

Heavy root pruning can be used when succulent plants are terminally ill or want succulent plants to grow rapidly, directly trimming all fibrous roots and most of the main roots, which is probably called death after birth. If you are not careful, the meat will say goodbye to you first.

Root drying time after root pruning

The higher the temperature is, the shorter the drying time is, the better the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the shorter the drying time is, the shorter the drying time is, and the

In general, the roots were dried for 2-3 days after mild pruning, watered 3-4 days after dry soil, 5-7 days after moderate root pruning, 3-4 days after dry soil, 15 days after severe root pruning, and 1-2 weeks after dry soil potting.

Of course, the specific situation still needs specific operation. Again, experience can be used for reference, but it is not suitable to copy.
