What if the roots of bamboo and cypress are rotten, stop watering, removing pots and changing soil / discovering diseases and insect pests and spraying with medicine

Non-bamboo non-cypress, is for bamboo and cypress, this is a beautiful foliage plant, its plant type is beautiful, the branches and leaves are green, it is very ornamental at home. However, in the process of breeding, because of improper maintenance, bamboo and cypress often have the symptom of rotting roots, so what should we do if the roots are rotten? Today, the editor is here to solve this problem for everyone.

What if the roots of bamboo and cypress are rotten

There are two main reasons for the rotten roots of bamboo and cypress: too much watering and diseases and insect pests. If too much watering leads to rotten roots, the plant will be removed in time, then cut off the rotten roots, and then replanted with new soil; if it is a disease and insect pests, we should identify specific insect pests and diseases, and then aim at spraying.

2. Causes and solutions of root rot of bamboo and cypress (1) signs of root rot of bamboo and cypress

When raising bamboo and cypress, we should observe in real time and find rotten roots in time. As for the signs of rotten roots of bamboo and cypress, in fact, it is easy to judge: normal bamboo and cypress look very energetic, but if they have rotten roots, they appear to be withered and drooping, not very energetic.

(2) the cause of root rot of bamboo and cypress.

1. Overwatering

If we want to talk about the reasons for the rotten roots of bamboo and cypress, the first thing we should consider is the problem of water. Bamboo cypress likes a humid environment and needs plenty of water during its growth, but this does not mean that it is not afraid of water. Once too much watering, resulting in stagnant water in the basin, it is easy to cause rotten roots.

2. Diseases and insect pests

Bamboo and cypress have rotten roots, in addition to watering too much, it is also possible that its long worm is sick. It is understood that once bamboo and cypress are infected with diseases and insect pests, there may be problems with its roots.

(3) the solution to the rotten root of bamboo and cypress.

1. Rational watering

In the process of conservation of bamboo and cypress, we should follow the principle of "see dry and wet, water thoroughly", keep the basin soil slightly moist, not more watering. Once too much watering leads to rotten roots, everyone should take off the basin in time, cut off the rotten roots, and then replace them with new potted soil and replant them.

2. Liquid spraying

If the rotten roots of bamboo and cypress are caused by diseases and insect pests, this is not very common, because the diseases and insect pests of bamboo and cypress are generally aimed at leaves. If there is a situation that harms the roots, we should identify the pests in time, and then buy a special solution for spraying.

What if the roots of bamboo and cypress are rotten?

The root rot is caused by a large amount of water.

One of the most likely reasons is that it is overwatered. Readers generally have such an experience, because they love their own plant very much, so they naturally regard it as a treasure, so they are always afraid of not taking good care of it, for example, for fear that it is not hydrated enough, so it is very easy to produce excessive water. The first thing we should understand is that insufficient watering is not good, and too much watering will also endanger the health of plants. That is because if there is too much water in the soil, the air will be reduced accordingly, and the roots of plants need to breathe if they want to grow. Less air, in the long run, the root can not breathe normally, may produce rotting root phenomenon. This is because some creatures in the water are harmful to them.

The emergence of disease

The second possible reason is that plants are infested by diseases and insect pests, slowly endangering the roots.

A sign of root decay

Generally speaking, normal plants will be very upright, and those who have rotten roots or have slightly symptoms will appear to be withered and drooping, not very energetic.

How to prevent and cure

For the first reason, that is scientific watering. Needless to say, although this plant likes to be moist, it is afraid of waterlogging, so it is necessary to strictly control the amount of watering. Generally speaking, spring and summer should be watered a little more, so that the basin soil is not dry. From late autumn to winter, the quantity and frequency must be strictly controlled.

The second situation is caused by diseases and insect pests, which is not very common, because bamboo and cypress diseases and insect pests are generally aimed at leaves. If there is such an accidental situation, it is easier to deal with, just buy a special medicine.

Key points and matters needing attention in maintenance and management of family bonsai

How to raise bonsai and its maintenance and management in the family

First, the analysis of the environment of the home market:

(1) what kind of bonsai should be preserved according to the objective environmental conditions of the family? The villa or courtyard can raise small and medium-sized bonsai. Due to the improvement of living standards, most of them are building balcony maintenance bonsai. It is recommended that the balcony maintain small or miniature bonsai. Indoor balcony maintenance bonsai should fully understand the environmental characteristics of the balcony site:

① balcony facing and sunshine length difference is larger, generally facing south balcony maintenance bonsai is better, the sun is strong, the light time is long.

Balconies facing east or west can only have direct light in the morning or afternoon, and the sun can shine for up to 3-4 hours a day.

But the balcony facing west has a strong summer sun, so it is necessary to do a good job of summer shade and ventilation (commonly known as Xishan sun). The balcony facing north has no direct light all day (it is recommended to keep some shady bonsai).

The temperature around the ② balcony is quite different from that of the ground. Because the balcony cement or ceramic tile floor and metope are easy to absorb the radiant heat of the sun, the temperature during the day is higher than the ground temperature (summer shading and ventilation should be done in time). When the temperature drops at night, the balcony cement floor or ceramic tile floor and metope are easy to release heat. According to the test, the temperature is more than 2 ℃ higher than the ground at this time.

The air around the ③ balcony is relatively dry. If the wind is strong in the upper air, the air must be drier than the ground. The light, temperature and humidity of different balconies are different, and there is a great difference, especially the difference in light length. We should choose appropriate bonsai plants according to the specific conditions of our own balcony.

1. If there is plenty of sunshine, it is recommended to choose bonsai such as Xiyang and flowering and fruiting bonsai, golden finch, mountain red, cypress, yellow poplar, fruit mulberry, ginkgo, golden pine, hammer elm, pomegranate, Tamarix, Fujian tea, Jiuli incense, etc.

2, such as lack of light: it is recommended to choose plants with a certain shade tolerance, such as June snow, Chinese wolfberry, Michelia mollissima, five-needle pine, triangular maple, Luohan pine, brown bamboo, Luoshi, southern bamboo, yew, sparrow plum, bamboo and cypress, Chunshu, ground cypress and so on.

3, if the family house has no balcony or there is no direct light in the room: the living environment is poor, and when it is difficult to raise trees and bonsai, emphasis should be placed on the production and maintenance of landscape bonsai. Because the moss on the landscape bonsai can grow as long as there is scattered light, it does not change much in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and is poetic. The display room also has a very good ornamental effect.

4. If the family's economic conditions are good, such as a courtyard, a large open-air balcony or an exclusive courtyard and the courtyard is very spacious, the bonsai plants that like light, shade and semi-shade can be nurtured according to the small greenhouse that can be built on the spot.

(2) it is necessary to cultivate suitable bonsai according to individual specific conditions. This paper briefly introduces the relationship between environmental conditions and the selection of bonsai plants. Finally, the decision on what bonsai to raise should be based on personal preference, personal cultivation and management skills, and whether individuals have spare time for meticulous maintenance and management. Bonsai materials should be selected according to personal preferences and management conditions. Due to different hobbies and aesthetic concepts, everyone may not have the same evaluation of a certain kind of plant, so the choice of bonsai plants should vary from person to person. The selection of bonsai plants should consider whether the habits of the selected plants are compatible with the existing environment, as well as the level of personal cultivation and management skills:

If bonsai amateurs have high modeling skills and rich experience in maintenance and management, they can choose bonsai materials with higher technical requirements for cultivation and management, such as black pine, five-needle pine, real cypress, yellow poplar, plum blossom and so on.

Such as personal management level should generally choose extensive management, adaptable bonsai materials, such as Chinese wolfberry, canary, June snow, Yingchun, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Tamarix, Pushu, elm and so on.

For those who just play miniature bonsai without any basis, it is recommended to raise some easy-to-feed miniature bonsai, such as pomegranate, canary, June snow, Yingchun, elm, rue and so on.

Second, the source of bonsai and the key factors of keeping miniature bonsai:

1. Bonsai can be purchased from general sources or picked by yourself in the mountains. It is suggested that it is more appropriate to buy some semi-finished products while playing. Of course, those who have the money can be wayward. You can buy finished products or high-quality products (for the purchase of finished products, you should choose from the following: one, two, three, four, determine the appearance of miniature bonsai, and observe the health of the branches and leaves of the stems.) because the semi-finished products have been maintained and managed in the first stage, they are basically stylish and have been laid in the basin. (after buying, learn about the habits of bonsai online according to the name of bonsai.) it is not easy to raise and adjust the original shape according to your own preferences. In a short period of time, you can see bonsai spreading branches and leaves to blossom and bear fruit, increasing the fun, sense of achievement and self-confidence of playing bonsai.

2. Maintenance and management of miniature bonsai should not only adjust its shape in time, but also promote normal growth. Because miniature bonsai pots are small and little soil, they really test the level of bonsai players' conservation and management, such as spraying and watering 2 times a day in hot summer. in order to make the plant branches and leaves not wilting, such as not much personal spare time can not be carefully managed, it is very easy to cause the plant to dry to death. The solution can be selected to adapt to the strong tree species and appropriate selection of deeper pots or sand trough or large purple sand basin set basin maintenance.

Watering for three years, watering is the key to play well with bonsai, and one of the most important and frequent measures for bonsai maintenance and management. The stump is planted in the basin, whether it is a deep basin or a shallow basin, the soil is always limited, and the water content is also limited. if the stump is not watered for a long time, the stump will wither due to lack of water, so it is necessary to observe in time and water according to the dry and wet condition of the soil to maintain soil moisture. Of course, overwatering can not be excessive, if overwatering, the basin soil is too wet for a long time, it is easy to cause root hypoxia and decay; at the same time, the amount of watering depends on specific tree species, seasonal changes, and warm and cold weather. Generally speaking, in summer or drought, it is best to water once in the morning and evening, every day or every other day in spring and autumn, the stump germinates in spring, and it can also be watered in the morning and evening according to the situation. During the rainy season or rainy days, there is no need for watering, but also pay attention to drainage. Sandy soil can be watered more, clayey soil should be watered less. Watering can be foliar spraying, or root irrigation, generally combining the two, first spraying water on the leaf, and then irrigation through the root, be careful not to pour "half of the water" to cause the basin surface to be wet and dry in the basin, and the foliar spraying should not be too much, it is easy to cause branches and leaves to grow, the following is a brief discussion on the key factors of cultivating miniature bonsai:

1. Water is one of the key factors:

"often irrigated" is inseparable from soil and water, while "industrious" water is completely blind.

The main results are as follows: (1) Water quality is very important to the cultivation of bonsai. It is recommended to use Rain Water, lotus pond water or resting tap water before watering.

(2) with appropriate amount of water, miniature bonsai is easy to scorch yellow leaves and affect plant growth, and serious lack of water causes miniature bonsai plants to dry up and die, but too much watering is easy to rot roots. So watering should be appropriate ["watering too much" generally refers to: when the basin soil is not dry, it is continuously watered for several days or watered many times a day. In general, the main reason for raising miniature bonsai is drowned by water]. Personally, I think the first step is to check the habits of miniature bonsai varieties according to the name of miniature bonsai varieties. The premise is to ensure that miniature bonsai is alive, and the premise of miniature bonsai alive is to master the "six views" and "one principle" of watering miniature bonsai.

Take a look at the plant habits.

Second, look at the plant pots.

Look at the soil of bonsai.

Four, look at the plant leaves.

Fifth, look at the growing season.

Six, look at the weather of the day.

One principle: "dry and thoroughly poured, no dry, no watering].

Articles on miniature bonsai watering have been published before, so I will not elaborate on them here. Bonsai friends can refer to China Mini Bonsai official account "miniature bonsai watering. How to water miniature bonsai?" When will it be watered? And points for attention "article.

All potted friends grasp the above basic principles of watering, and then try, observe, experience and sum up attentively. I believe that they will be able to raise miniature bonsai, enjoy miniature bonsai spreading branches and leaves, blossom and bear fruit, edify sentiment at the same time, and reap the joy of success.

2. One of the key dominant factors of basin soil:

The potted soil matches well, and the miniature bonsai grows well.

Soil plays a leading role in the growth of miniature bonsai. According to different varieties of miniature bonsai, it is recommended to use different soils for conservation (soil pH, commonly known as potted soil pH), or in that sentence to buy a miniature bonsai. Do not blindly maintain and manage, first consult relevant materials, fully understand its habits in order to raise miniature bonsai. Previous articles have been introduced in detail, and I will not mention them here. Please refer to the official account: zgwxpjw "benefits of changing pots and matters needing attention for changing miniature bonsai."

3. One of the key dominant factors of the market environment:

The site environment is good or bad, affecting the plant quality and poor site refers to: shelving site, ventilation, lighting, humidity, protection and so on. The setting environment is also one of the dominant factors for miniature bonsai. A good environment is more conducive to the growth of miniature bonsai. Miniature bonsai is often arranged indoors and can not see sunlight for a long time, which can easily lead to growth retardation or plant disease. It is recommended to give appropriate light. Therefore, in the spring and summer growing season, it is recommended that the indoor display time should not exceed one week, and the outdoor semi-shady environment should be maintained and the light surface of miniature bonsai plants should be changed properly at other times.

4. one of the dominant factors of fattening:

The fat and small ones are dull, and the fat plants suffer.

Fertilizer should be appropriate, excessive fertilization will cause twigs to grow, and if it is serious, it will also affect the growth of miniature bonsai plants. if it is not washed or changed in time, it will also cause the death of miniature bonsai plants. Fertilization is due to appropriate fertilization according to the season and different plants. It is suggested that "thin fertilizer is applied frequently". If there is a serious lack of fertilizer, the leaves of miniature bonsai are barren and dull in color, although miniature bonsai will not die in the long run, but the plant is morbid. The appearance is not good.

5. One of the dominant factors of pruning:

Out-of-season pruning and untreated wounds after trimming, resulting in the death of miniature bonsai. Pruning and picking buds in time, the new long branches should be cut short in time and keep the appropriate proportion with the trunk; change the basin every 1 to 2 years, deciduous leaves are carried out before germination in early spring, evergreen trees are carried out after spring germination or cool autumn; miniature crowns, there should be fewer branches to show the grace of the trunk as far as possible, and the retained branches should be cut short to make them in proportion to the trunk.

6. One of the dominant factors of pest control:

The prevention and control of diseases and insect pests are not timely, the light ones affect the appearance, and the serious ones lead to the death of miniature bonsai. Timely control of diseases and insect pests to find a variety of leaf spot, aphids, red spiders, shell insects and other diseases and insect pests, should be the right medicine and immediately manual removal or spray control.

7. One of the leading factors of daily management:

The details of absolute success or failure, diligent observation, and prevention, more summary. Such as summer shading, watering time, water treatment, basin cushion, spraying times, sand trough maintenance and so on; for example: in order to prevent leaves from yellowing and falling off (miniature bonsai due to small pot soil), water is often in short supply in summer, so it is easy to have the phenomenon of leaf scorched yellow shedding. In order to avoid leaf yellow falling off, in addition to leaving the edge of the basin when putting on the basin and paying attention to watering and spraying in hot summer, you can put sand trough or indoor balcony in a large basin for maintenance under maintenance conditions. the method of watering miniature bonsai water: you can put miniature bonsai in a household basin and store water higher than that along the mouth of miniature bonsai basin [take out a brick in a shallow pool or put a brick in a shallow pool more than ten seconds after bubbling stops, and add water to just submerged brick surface. Then put the small bonsai on the brick to cultivate.
