Error 1: go straight to the basin without pruning

After the meat was separated from the basin, some flower friends were worried about hurting the root, gently shook the soil at the root, and went directly to the basin. This is not conducive to the germination of new roots, but also affects the recovery after changing pots

The soil with fleshy roots should be cleaned up, the roots should be clearly exposed, the rotten roots should be cut off, and then put into the basin

Error 2: root washing or soaking in Carbendazim

Some flower friends want to disinfect the meat, or because there are scale insects on the roots, they soak the meat roots in carbendazim solution, which will make the meat roots very fragile

You can directly spray medicine on the root and cut off the root of the disease. Don't soak it in carbendazim solution directly

Error 3: rush to put the root in the basin before drying

Some flower friends are too impatient. After pruning the roots, they are busy putting them into the basin before the root wounds are dried and repaired, which is easy to infect the wounds

After pruning the root system, flower friends must put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound, and then put it in the basin after 2-3 days

Error 4: the flowerpot is too small, but it is also padded with ceramsite

The purpose of placing ceramsite at the bottom of the flowerpot is to prevent ponding and improve water permeability. It is usually suitable for larger flowerpots

But if the flower pot height after the flower friends change the pot for meat is less than 10cm, and there are drainage holes, don't pad ceramsite, which will accelerate the water evaporation rate and lead to the unstable growth of roots in the soil

Mistake 5: blocked the drain hole at the bottom of the flowerpot

The drainage hole at the bottom of the basin is to enhance the water permeability of the soil. Don't block it, but some flower friends will accidentally block the ceramic grain in the drainage hole when they pad the ceramic grain at the bottom of the basin. This won't work

You can first put a net on the bottom of the basin to prevent soil leakage, such as silk stockings and nylon cloth, so you don't worry about blocking the drainage hole

Error 6: use a red pottery basin with strong air permeability, but the meat is very easy to lack water

The permeability of the red pottery basin is really good, but it will also accelerate the drying speed of the soil. Therefore, flower friends should water the meat more times. Don't make the meat thirsty

Mistake 7: water immediately after putting on the basin

After the fleshy root system is trimmed and put back into the pot, it will rub with the soil and produce some small wounds. Watering immediately at this time will be infected by bacteria

Therefore, keep the soil dry. Huahua suggests watering the meat 3-5 days after the pot

Mistake 8: dare not put meat in the sun

Fresh meat is not suitable for exposure to the sun, but don't put it in the shade

Huahua suggested that we put the meat under the bright scattered light, such as the living room and balcony with sufficient light, which is more conducive to the recovery of meat

Mistake 9: always water the meat on time

After the meat has just been put into the pot, the soil should be kept slightly moist. It is not necessary to water at a fixed time every day. The frequency of watering should be determined according to the air humidity, weather and soil conditions. Do not ignore these factors, otherwise it is easy to rot roots or lack of water and soften leaves
