1. Causes of cracking and peeling of trunk of fortune tree

New skin growth: the trunk of fortune tree cracks and explodes. It may be because there is new skin growing inside and it has grown almost, and the old skin outside begins to crack and fall off. If this is the reason, don't worry and wait for the new skin to grow completely

Excessive watering: if the trunk of fortune tree is not the reason for the growth of new bark, it may be caused by excessive watering. When there is too much water in the basin soil and its roots cannot absorb it completely, it is easy to form ponding. If the root is immersed in ponding for a long time and cannot breathe, it will rot slowly. Thus, the transportation of nutrition becomes very difficult. Over time, the trunk will crack and burst due to lack of nutrition. At this time, we need to stop watering, move it to a ventilated place, loosen the soil and drain the water, and let the basin soil slowly return to dryness. In the subsequent maintenance, the principle of "better dry than wet" should be grasped to prevent ponding

2. Curing method of fortune tree

Watering: watering the rich tree should be based on its growth and season. During the high temperature in summer and its growth period, more water should be poured, and the watering frequency should be appropriately increased, but there should be no ponding. During its dormancy period in winter, it is only watered when its basin soil is dry to avoid frostbite

Light: Fortune tree likes light and needs to be maintained in an environment with sufficient light. In summer, when the sun is strong, pay attention to shade to avoid sunburn. In other seasons with mild sunshine, you can put it in direct light for maintenance and let it bask more in the sun

Temperature: Fortune tree is not cold resistant. It needs to take warm measures in winter and try to maintain it at a temperature between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius
