What to do as soon as the root of the rich tree is pinched out of the water?

The rich tree is very sensitive to watering because its root system is underdeveloped and it is easy to cause root rot due to excessive watering. And its stem usually grows very stout, in which a large amount of water is stored. When the plant suffers from drought caused by the lack of water in the basin, it will consume the water stored in the trunk. Therefore, the rich tree also has the characteristics of drought tolerance, water shortage in a short period of time will not bring obvious adverse effects on its growth.

However, sometimes in the process of maintaining the rich tree, we find that the plant has gradually wilted, and even yellow leaves and fallen leaves. And when you pinch its root with your hand, you can even squeeze out water.

In fact, the rich tree rhizome can pinch out water, most of the plants are infected with root rot, at least there is a more serious root rot phenomenon. As for the situation that the rich tree can get water as soon as it is pinched, the plant has now reached a critical period of life and death, so we must treat it as soon as possible, otherwise it will surely die.

The method of treatment is also very simple, that is, the root that can squeeze out water is sawed off directly until the lower part of the trunk is pinched hard, and there are no signs of decay and damage in the trunk from the sawed section. If the heart of the trunk can be seen from the cross section is damaged, even if it is pinched without softening, it needs to be sawed up until there is no sign of damage through the cross section.

At the same time, in order to reduce the consumption of the tree, it is recommended to cut off all its branches and leaves, which can also reduce the burden of the plant after replanting, which is more conducive to its rooting and survival. Because after the plant loses its roots, its branches and leaves will evaporate water, and after cutting off the branches and leaves, the water loss will be reduced, so it is more conducive to its preservation and re-survival.

Next, we need to soak the sawed-off trunk in potassium permanganate solution for one day for sterilization and disinfection, preferably soaking both the upper and lower parts of the trunk. Then put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound, at the same time apply some carbendazim to the upper wound, and then seal the wax to prevent the plant from losing too much water through the upper wound, thus affecting the survival of the plant.

Finally, we use the new basin soil to plant it again, it is best to use fluvo-aquic soil on the basin, so as to avoid pouring water after replanting and there is a certain humidity in the basin, which can provide a moist growth environment for the rooting and survival of the plant. Then put the potted plant in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the seedlings, do not rush to water during the period, do a good ventilation shade and spray moisturizing treatment and wait for it to take root and survive.
