Tiger Pilan has a very high ornamental value and a strong ability to purify the air at the same time. However, the maintenance process should pay attention to master skills, if it is too much watering or the temperature can not meet the requirements, the plant is more likely to rot roots.

Even in winter, many friends will often encounter the problem of tiger Pilan rotten roots. So, how to deal with the rotten roots of tiger skin orchid in winter? When you encounter a rotten root, don't throw it away. The editor will teach you how to fix it.

After the rotten roots, the leaves often show a state of withering and wilting. When the plant has rotten roots, it needs to be taken out of the original pot first. Potted tiger skin orchid usually implants multiple plants in a flowerpot. After taking off the pot, we should separate the plants with rotten roots and those without rotten roots and treat them differently.

For intact plants, the original will first put them in the sun to dry for a period of time, about a few days, wait for the excess water transpiration and then re-pot planting. For the tiger skin orchid whose roots are damaged or rotten, if the stems and leaves are still strong and not withered or withered, they can be cut off for cutting propagation.

Tiger Pilan is easy to survive by cutting. generally, the intact part of 5-6 cm is cut from the stems and leaves as cuttings, that is, the middle part. Instead of the root and upper part, the middle part is used as a cuttage to breed new plants. It is usually inserted into a clean plain sand.

But it should be noted that the cuttings need to be dried in the sun for a period of time before cutting. in winter, it is more appropriate to spend about 3 days in the sun, and the wound can basically condense and heal. If the wound is not condensed and cut directly, it is very permissible to rot. And cutting to distinguish which end is the lower part, which end is the upper, the lower part can be inserted into the matrix, do not appear the phenomenon of putting the cart before the horse.

If the root is slightly rotten, then we just need to cut off the rotten root and replant it to prevent it from spreading and causing other healthy roots to be infected. But it still needs to be left to dry for about 3 days before planting, and it also needs to wait until the root wound condenses before potting, so as to avoid further decay.

Finally, the editor wants to say that in order to maintain Hu Pilan in winter, on the one hand, we should focus on temperature control, on the other hand, we should also reasonably control watering, so as to "rather dry than wet", so that the phenomenon of rotting roots can be effectively avoided. Because Tiger Pilan itself is more resistant to drought, even if it is not watered for a month in winter, it will generally dry to death. Watering too much is easy to cause rotten roots.
