1. What if the top of the trunk of fortune tree withers and softens

Reduce watering: watering the rich tree too much, which leads to root rot. the most intuitive manifestation is that the top of the trunk is dry and soft and the leaves turn yellow. At this time, it needs to be moved to a well ventilated place in time and loosen the soil to speed up the evaporation of water. In the later stage, water is sprayed to replenish it, or a plastic bag is put on it to moisturize it when the outside air is relatively dry

Temperature control: Fortune trees are suitable to grow in an environment of 20 to 30 degrees. If the temperature is too high, the leaves will turn yellow. If the temperature is too low, the transpiration will be too high, and the tree top will become soft after fertilization

Stop fertilization: if excessive fertilization is applied during normal maintenance, its roots will be burned, resulting in softening of the top of the trunk, yellowing and falling off of the leaves. At this time, it is necessary to stop fertilization and appropriately increase the watering times to let the excess fertilizer flow out of the drainage hole at the bottom. If necessary, the roots need to be dug out and replanted after cleaning

Treatment of disease: if the plant is suffering from stem rot, then the trunk will have secretions, resulting in dry and soft top. At this time, it needs to be moved to a well ventilated place in time and sprayed with sukeling solution

Soil replacement: the root of fortune tree is relatively fragile and is not suitable for planting in hard and hardened soil. This will make it stunted, and the softening of the top of the trunk is one of the manifestations of its stunting. If the soil is not suitable, it should be replaced with loose, fertile and nutritious soil as soon as possible to replant it

2. Can the top of the trunk of fortune tree become dry and soft and be sawn off

If it is caused by disease, the soft part at the top can be sawed off. After sawing, apply some plant ash or spray medicine on the cutting edge to prevent infection with bacteria
