Can the fortune tree freeze to death and still sprout in spring?

Yes. Fortune trees often freeze to death because the roots are damaged, and the plant should be removed from the pot and the roots should be examined. Rinse the roots with clean water, wash off the old soil, and cut off the rotten roots.

If the roots are all rotten, they are cut off and rerooted. After excision, the roots are soaked in potassium permanganate solution for disinfection, and the solution should be diluted to pink before use, otherwise it will cause damage to the roots. Soak for 30 minutes, dry and replant.

If the upper part of the plant dies, cut it all off to avoid wasting water and nutrients.

When only part of the leaves and stems are frostbitten, or the soil surface is partially frozen to death, after treatment and maintenance, new leaves can still grow the next spring. It is necessary to first move the fortune tree to an environment above 10 degrees Celsius, depot, prune off the frostbitten parts, disinfect and replant it, and it will be able to recover after one month.

If the leaves and stems of the plant are frostbitten, or part of the soil surface is frozen to death, it can return to normal in the spring when the temperature rises, but when the root system of the fortune tree freezes to death, it will not return to normal growth and needs to be replanted.

Fortune trees are less cold-tolerant, and frostbite occurs when the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, and freeze to death occurs when they grow in an environment below zero degrees Celsius for a long time. Therefore, when cultivating fortune trees in winter, they need to be moved to an environment with a temperature of more than 10 degrees Celsius for cultivation.

After the frostbite of the fortune tree, it is necessary to prune off the frostbitten part in time to avoid the phenomenon of rotting and turning into water after the wound is in contact with the air, and even affecting the growth of the whole plant. When there is blackening on the plant, it is necessary to depot the soil around the roots.

Then cut off the frostbite and rotten parts, spray carbendazim solution on the wound, or wrap it with plant ash to sterilize and disinfect, and wait until the wound is completely healed, and then plant it in the prepared potting soil. During the maintenance process, it is necessary to place it in a shaded environment, and the watering needs to wait until the soil is white, and the plants will return to normal after a month.

Cultivating a fortune tree in winter requires ensuring the temperature and light of the plant.

1. Move indoors

The growth temperature of the fortune tree is 20-30 degrees, and it should not be lower than 5 degrees in winter, otherwise it will cause it to die of frost damage, so it can be moved indoors for maintenance in winter. However, it is necessary to pay attention to one point when breeding indoors, first of all, do not put it in the kitchen, a large amount of oil smoke will cause the leaves of the fortune tree to turn yellow, and do not smoke indoors, which will also cause its leaves to turn yellow.

2. Increase light

The fortune tree is a light-loving plant, in a sunny environment it is long and strong, the leaf nodes are short, the leaves are wide, the leaf color is dark green, if it is in a dark light environment for a long time, then it will cause its branches to be thin, the petiole is relaxed, and the leaf color becomes light green. In winter, the light duration is short and the light intensity is weak, so it is more serious if it is maintained indoors, so it needs to be ensured that it has sufficient light.

Remedies for anomalies:

1. After the tree stops growing in winter, it needs to stop fertilizing, and if it continues to fertilize, it will burn the root system of the tree. If the leaves of the tree are yellowing or drooping, do not prune them. In the spring, prune the fortune tree, cut off the dead branches and old leaves, and then apply medicine to the wound, which is conducive to the recovery of the wound.

2. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees for a long time, it may lead to death. Once the fortune tree is found to be frostbitten, it should be moved to a warm place in time to keep warm, and then irrigate the roots with naphthalene acetic acid and other agents.

If you put the fortune tree in a sub-zero environment, it will freeze to death, because it is not cold-tolerant, and it will get frostbite when the temperature is below 5, and it will freeze to death in severe cases, let alone if the temperature is below 0. In winter, it is best to move to a warm place and keep the temperature around 12-15, and do a good job of water control, only then can it survive the winter safely.

If the trunk of the fortune tree has turned grayish-white, it means that there is no cure. But if this situation is still serious, it is possible to revive it after a series of rescues.

1. Adjust the temperature: You need to place the fortune tree in a warmer place, and adjust the temperature to be above 10. If the temperature continues, it will freeze to death.

2. Prune frozen branches: check whether there are frostbitten branches on the plant, if there are any, they should be pruned, as long as the temperature is suitable for a period of time, it will grow new branches and leaves.

3. Proper exposure to light: It should also be properly exposed to sunlight and avoid maintenance in a too shady environment. You can keep it on the balcony or windowsill, and try to let the foliage of the plant get as much sun as possible.
