1、 How to cap

After sawing off the trunk of the fortune tree, apply a little plant ash for disinfection. Wait until the plant ash is absorbed, and then seal the top with wax or paint. It can be coated on the surface of the trunk, which can play a certain heat preservation effect and prevent water loss and the invasion of diseases and pests

2、 Capping maintenance

1. Timely warmth: if the time of sawing off the trunk is in winter, it is necessary to provide better heat preservation measures for fortune trees. The ambient temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃, and low temperature will cause it to be frozen. If the room temperature does not meet the standard, you can wrap the trunk with two layers of plastic film and a layer of cotton in the middle, which can also keep warm

2. Stop watering: it should not be watered during the maintenance period. Because there are no branches and leaves, it has little demand for water. As long as the soil is not too dry, it does not have to be watered. Wait until the new bud grows and then pour it, which can promote its growth

3. Strengthen ventilation: the fortune tree after sawing the top should not grow in the environment with low air quality, and strong ventilation should be maintained. Air circulation not only improves the low oxygen content, but also avoids the breeding of bacteria

4. Proper fertilization: Fortune tree needs certain fertilizer after sawing the top to accelerate its growth. If the temperature is too low, it is not suitable to apply fertilizer. When it is warm, appropriate fertilizer can promote the growth of new buds
