What to do with freshly potted succulent stuffy roots?

If you find a newly potted succulent stuffy root, you should immediately dig the succulent out of the pot, prune the faulty root system, and soak the pruned root succulent in carbendazim solution for 2-3 hours to disinfect and remove bacteria.

Then you should cut some of the extra roots and branches and renovate the soil so that it can grow well.

You can add more humus, charcoal soil, coconut peat soil and so on to the soil, they all have good air permeability and can promote the growth of plant rhizomes.

Succulent plant pots are not suitable, the soil layer is too thick, and the ventilation is not good, and it is easy to rot and turn into water!

There are different treatments depending on the severity of the root. Hu Xiao.

1.Not serious stuffy roots.

Soiling, root trimming, disinfection, root drying, soil change, pot change, heavy load in a cool and ventilated place, find the newly potted succulent stuffy roots, immediately dig out the succulent from the source of the pot, prune out the faulty root system, and soak the pruned root succulent in carbendazim solution for 2-3 hours to disinfect and sterilize.

The sterilized flesh can be hung head down, root up, and hung in a cool and ventilated place to dry the roots for a week until the wound heals.

Stuffy roots are likely to have the soil not breathable enough to vent up. I can use pure river sand or peat soil, maifan stone, vermiculite, and mix the soil with 80% large particles to ensure the ventilation and drainage of the soil.

It is also possible that the stuffy root is overwatered, and there is no need to water it when potting, as long as the soil is kept slightly damp, and the soil is grabbed into a clump and loosened to disperse.

Needless to say, watering within a week after potting. Wait for the bowl to finish.

It is recommended to use mud pots with hail branches, and unglazed stoneware pots for flower pots, which have better air permeability.

When succulent implantation, the root system should not be buried too deep, and the roots can be covered with soil.

2.The stuffy roots are severe, and black rot appears.

If the root system is all stuffy and black rot, you can only cut off the head or leaf cuttings.

Cut off the head and stem or choose a healthy and full leaf, change the soil, repot and re-cutting.

In summary, the appearance of stuffy roots is generally due to overwatering, or the soil is not breathable enough to permeate and permeate water.

As long as we control the amount of water, keep it ventilated, breathable, and drain, we can generally avoid it.

1. Select the bowl lid

When using the succulent cultivation method to breed succulents, you need to choose a suitable lid, you can choose a transparent glass bowl or a plastic cup with a larger caliber, and then cover the selected lid on the succulent potted plant to keep it warm and moisturized, so that you can create a greenhouse-like environment for the succulent potted plant, which can make the succulent leaves more shiny.

2. Ventilation

When using the succulent breeding method, if the temperature and humidity in the container are too high, it will lead to the phenomenon of succulent growth or root rot, so that the succulent will die, and it is necessary to take down the bowl every 3-4 days to let the succulent breathe fresh air, and it is also necessary to determine the time of succulent succulent cultivation according to the growth state of the succulent.

3. Lighting conditions

Succulents need sufficient light during the growth process, and when using the succulent cultivation method to breed succulents, they need to be placed in a brightly lit place, so that the plants can receive all-weather natural light, so that the color of the succulents is more beautiful, and it is also necessary to do a good job of shading the succulents when the light is too strong to avoid sunburn on the plants.

4. Control watering

When using the succulent breeding method, if the watering is too frequent and scattered, it will lead to stagnant water in the soil, and the bridge is round so that the succulents are rotten roots, and the frequency of watering needs to be controlled, and the watering frequency can be carried out according to the dryness and wetness of the soil, and the soil can be kept slightly moist, and the succulents also need to be moved to a ventilated and dry place for maintenance on rainy days.

1. Prune the root system: depot the succulent, cut off the rotten roots, and replant them in the soil. 2. Reduce humidity

Cut off all the aerial roots, and then place the succulent in a ventilated environment for maintenance. 3. Supplemental light: move the succulent to a place with good lighting.

4. Precautions: After pruning the root system for the succulent, pay attention to applying carbendazim solution to the wound for disinfection.

1. Prune the root system

The newly planted succulent aerial roots may be caused by overwatering the plant after planting, causing the root system to rot, at this time the succulent should be removed from the pot, and then the rotten roots should be cut off, and then replanted in the soil.

2. Reduce humidity

Succulents are suitable for growing in a drier environment, if the air humidity is too high, or there is too much moisture in the soil, the plant will absorb water by growing aerial roots, at this time all the aerial roots should be cut off, and then the succulents are placed in a ventilated environment for maintenance, and the watering should be stopped for a short time.

3. Supplemental lighting

Succulents will grow aerial roots in a dark and damp environment for a long time, at this time, the plant should be moved to a well-lit place in time, so that it receives sufficient sunlight, and the aerial roots will stop growing after a period of time.

4. Precautions

It is a relatively normal phenomenon for the newly planted succulent to grow aerial roots, which does not need to be over-treated, and will gradually be relieved after the plant adapts to the environment.

It's not a bad thing for succulents to grow aerial roots, because aerial roots also have an absorption effect, at least proving that the succulent plant is still alive. However, the newly potted succulents also reflect that it has not been successfully potted, its taproot system has not been working properly, if the potting time has been more than two weeks, it is recommended to remove the soil to check the root system, and properly prune the roots and re-pot them will not affect the continued growth.

The newly potted succulents grow aerial roots, which is nothing more than these two reasons: the proportion of soil particles is too high or the water control is too strong after potting, and the potting soil has been in a dry and water-deficient state, so that it is delayed to serve the pot, and when the air humidity is large, the branches will be forced to grow aerial roots to absorb the moisture in the air to reduce the water consumption in their own leaves. In this case, the leaves of succulents tend to be somewhat shriveled, which is usually relieved by watering.

The clay soil is not breathable, and the watering frequency is too frequent after potting to the point that the water rots the roots, and the branches of the upper part of the succulent plant will also grow aerial roots to absorb water in the air instead of the rotten roots to maintain the growth of the upper leaf disk. The leaves at the bottom of the leaf disc of such succulents are generally yellowed and waterlogged, and the rhizomes are often blackened and rotten after soil removal.

The simplest and most direct solution is to repot after soil removal and root trimming: the succulents that have just been potted grow aerial roots because of lack of water or water rotten roots, continue to wait and see will only prolong the potting period, soil removal is undoubtedly the most intuitive solution, which can not only check the health of the main root system, but also timely adjust the particle ratio of the soil, and even if the pot of succulents has rotten roots, with the help of the aerial roots on its branches, re-cuttings and propagation will soon be able to survive again, so there is basically no risk of soiling.

Just potted succulents long aerial roots personally feel that the main reason is still in the way of soil distribution and potting soil humidity is improper, it is recommended to use slightly moist, suitable for the growth of succulents granular soil for cultivation, after the pot is placed in a well-ventilated astigmatism environment to serve the pot, the whole pot period occasionally uses spray to humidify, so that the soil maintains a slightly damp state, generally within 10 can be smoothly served pots, and then gradually increase the light after serving the pots, normal maintenance can be.

Some varieties prefer long aerial roots and do not need to worry extra. It is also possible that the succulent is in the potting stage, and the growth of aerial roots is to adapt to the new environment. It may also be caused by potting soil compaction or lack of water, and the pot should be changed in time.

Keep ventilated and dry. Daily maintenance should maintain a ventilated and dry environment to avoid excessive moisture in the maintenance environment, and high environmental humidity is easy to induce air roots.
