What about the rotten root of the turtle?

Tortoise back bamboo is a tropical plant native to Mexico. Because of its large and green leaves and cracks in holes, it is now farmed by more and more people. Phyllostachys pubescens is planted in different ways in the north and south of China. It can be directly cultivated in the open field in the southern areas such as Guangdong, Guangdong and Yunnan, while in the north of Hubei, it needs to be planted in greenhouse. There are more people planting and more problems encountered, and rotten root is one of them. So why do tortoise-backed bamboos rot? What about the rotten roots of bamboo on the back of turtles? Let's talk about such a problem today.

First, the reasons for the rotten roots of the tortoise back bamboo.

In order to understand the treatment of the rotten roots of the tortoise back bamboo, we first need to know why the roots of the tortoise back bamboo are rotten. In fact, people who have a good grasp of planting techniques should know that the reasons for the rotten roots of most plants are nothing but two aspects, one is watering, the other is fertilization. Watering and fertilization are two essential things for plant growth, so how do watering and fertilization lead to root rot? Let's introduce it in detail.

1. Too much watering

When breeding turtles with bamboo on their backs, they need to give them a warm and moist growing environment. Because the tortoise back bamboo is more afraid of drought, it needs sufficient watering when breeding, but if it is watered too much, there will be water in the basin, and then there will be rotting roots.

two。 Excessive fertilization

Tortoise back bamboo is a fertilizer-loving plant, so many people will fertilize it in large quantities when breeding, but it should be noted that when making fertilizer, tortoise back bamboo must be in the right amount. If too much fertilizer is applied, it will lead to root burning and rot.

Second, what about the rotten roots of the tortoise back bamboo?

When breeding turtles with bamboo, we need to do a good job in water and fertilizer management, under the premise of ensuring adequate nutrients for growth, to avoid too much water and fertilizer, which can play a certain role in preventing rotting roots. If the roots of the tortoise-backed bamboo are rotten, do not apply fertilizer at first, then dig the tortoise-backed bamboo out of the flowerpot, cut off the rotten roots, trim the leaves, put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and wait for the wound to dry and heal before planting.

Third, the causes and solutions of the rotten roots of water-cultured turtles.

Tortoise back bamboo can also be cultured in water culture, in the stage of water culture, tortoise back bamboo will not have the problem of stagnant water and burning roots, so how does this lead to rotten roots? This situation is usually due to the fact that the root of the tortoise back bamboo is infected with bacteria when it is hydroponically cultured. When the bacteria multiply in large numbers, they will corrode the roots and cause them to rot.

The rotten root of the hydroponic turtle back bamboo has appeared. First of all, the rotten root should be pruned off to prevent further infection. The trimmed roots should be disinfected in potassium permanganate solution, then taken out to dry. Clean up the hydroponic utensils, replace all the water, and then remove some moss on the inner wall. Add water again, and then put the treated tortoise back bamboo back again, after its re-growth, it can be maintained normally.

The above are the reasons and solutions for the rotten roots of the tortoise back bamboo introduced by the pro-agricultural network. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. Here, the pro-agricultural network would also like to remind you that the tortoise back bamboo is a plant of the Araceae family, and its juice is toxic to a certain extent and has a certain irritating and corrosive effect on the skin. When planting at home, we must pay attention not to damage the stems and leaves of the plant and prevent the liquid from seeping out. However, the tortoise back bamboo does not emit a poisonous smell. On the contrary, it can purify the indoor air. It is a very suitable plant for growing indoors.
