Pay attention to the maintenance of fortune tree

Fortune tree was originally a tropical flower. It likes a humid and hot environment. In recent years, our cultivation technology has been continuously improved. It can be raised in both north and south of the country. It is reasonably easy to raise, but why does it always turn yellow after a few months

1. Ventilation, ventilation, ventilation

The fortune tree must be kept in a ventilated environment, otherwise it is easy to rot. here are the flower friends in our community. The small fortune tree bought a few years ago has been placed on the astigmatic windowsill and grows well without much management

2. Don't water too much

Of the 10 fortune trees, 9 were watered to death. Fortune tree is very drought resistant. It is afraid of waterlogging. Once waterlogged, its roots will rot. flower friends who have raised it for several years must have experience: watering after the soil is completely dry. Novices can learn from the flower friend below. Even in summer, they should refrain from watering less

3. Better light

Fortune trees like sunshine, but they are afraid of sun exposure. As soon as they are exposed to the sun, they will dry and yellow leaves. So it's best to put it in a place with good indoor light, and in a place with sufficient light in the office. Don't put it in a dark corner. It's also easy to yellow leaves and lose spirit

Fortune tree problem reference

Hua Hua knows that even if you read the above content, there are still a lot of problems you don't know what to do. Let's list some common situations for your specific reference:

1. The leaves are dry and pointed, and the air humidity is not enough

In summer, the leaves of fortune tree are easy to turn yellow. First touch the necrotic part with your hand. If it is dry, it means that the humidity is not enough. At this time, do not water, tear off the leaf tip, and spray water around the leaves several times a week

2. The leaves are rotten yellow and watered too much

Touch the wet leaf tip, and there are a large area of yellow leaves and rotten leaves. If there is too much water, stop watering quickly, remove all yellow leaves and rotten leaves, and put the fortune tree in a ventilated place

If there are too many yellow leaves and rotten leaves, the situation is serious. Directly pull out the soil. If the root is not bad, put it in a cool and ventilated corridor or North windowsill to dry, and then plant it in the basin again in about 1-2 days

If the root is rotten, quickly cut off the rotten part with a knife without leaving any. It is best to cut off the branches and leaves on it to reduce nutritional consumption, and seal the section on it with candles to avoid infection

The remaining roots are disinfected in potassium permanganate solution or carbendazim solution, soaked for about 2 hours, taken out and dried in the shade. After drying, soak in rooting powder water (which can also be omitted). After soaking for 2 hours, take it out and dry it, and plant it in the basin again

Flower friends without rooting powder can use willow branches to soak in water instead. It is best to plant them in the basin later with sand (boiled water disinfection), so that they can take root faster. When they see new buds on the branches, they will take root

3. The leaves have white spots and are burned

When we spray water on the fortune tree, don't get too close. Water droplets gather on the leaves and are easily sunburned by strong light. A small water droplet can burn a large area

4. The color of the leaves turns pale and the soil is airtight

The rich tree grows well. Suddenly, the color of the new leaves becomes lighter, indicating that the soil in the basin is a little stiff and not breathable. At this time, either change the soil for the basin, or poke a few holes along the edge of the basin with chopsticks to breathe

5. Ooze mucus, lack of light

Recently, it has been raining continuously. Many flower friends have reported that there are sticky water droplets on the fortune tree. This is a normal phenomenon. Sooner or later, you can properly bask in the sun and water less to avoid overgrowth

6. The longer and thinner the leaves, the lighter the color and the lack of fertilizer

Fortune trees generally do not need any fertilizer, but if the leaves are getting thinner and thinner, and the old leaves become pale and easy to yellow, we should pay attention to the possible lack of fertilizer. Once a month, water the retted rice washing water (diluted with water by 2%), or add some leaf green fertilizer
