The treatment of rotten roots of Cymbidium should not be used indiscriminately, or it will die faster.

Gentleman orchid has a high ornamental value, flower friends like to put indoor potted plants to watch. Recently, I saw a flower friend say that the gentleman orchid raised by himself will always have "rotten roots". Why? There are many reasons for rotting roots, but what Xiao Hu wants to talk about today is that the attention of gentleman orchids should not be misused, otherwise they will die faster. See what the methods and steps are.

Step 1: do a small checkup

If you water too much on weekdays, it will cause rotting roots. If the leaves are rotten, you can cut them off, but if you want to check whether the root of the orchid is rotten, you can gently pry open the soil near the root with a piece of wood until you see the root. If the roots are black and rotten, take the whole plant out of the basin and wash it with clean water.

Step 2: disinfection and sterilization

After cleaning, the gentleman orchid is very fragile. In order to prevent bacterial infection, its roots must be sterilized. First of all, sterilize the scissors, and then cut off the rotten roots, in short, cut them wherever they rot, soak them with potassium permanganate solution, and after soaking, you can apply a little rooting powder on the roots to help the orchids grow new roots.

Step 3: replant

The rotten root of the gentleman orchid will inevitably infect the soil, it is best to change the new soil, the new soil can be irrigated with carbendazim first, and then replanted. Note that the orchid should be kept in a place with light, but not in the sun, and wait until the soil is dry before watering.

Step 4: replenish nutrition

Gentleman orchid cut off part of the root, just like an operation, it also needs to supplement "nutrition", that is, fertilizer, in order to make it better absorb and grow. As for fertilizers, although it is autumn and the weather is getting cooler, sometimes the sun is still very hot, it is not recommended to use chemical fertilizer, it is easy to burn roots. It is recommended that flower friends use a general-purpose plant nutrient solution, which can comprehensively supplement the growth needs of Magnolia. In general, a bottle is almost a piece of fast food, which can be used for a year.

Step 5: control of temperature and moisture

For Cymbidium, the suitable temperature for growth is 20 ℃ ~ 25 ℃ after root rot treatment, and the ventilation must be kept good, not stuffy. To less watering, the basin soil is too wet, is not conducive to the gentleman orchid to take root again, but there will be the risk of decay.

Step 6: do not look through it at will

Magnolia has been on the basin, can not look at the root system still has the phenomenon of continued decay, this has increased the probability of infection. Therefore, now that we have dealt with the roots, we must be patient and not in a hurry.

So much for sharing knowledge today! Finally, I would like to remind you that the phenomenon of "rotten roots" in orchids should be taken seriously, treated in the right way, and pay attention to replenishing nutrients and water to keep the temperature.
