Reanimate Jade: How to save Money Tree, if rotten roots or trunk became soft?
Money Tree (or Crassula) can boast its resistance to various diseases and pests.
Despite this its owners are often faced with the problem, when plants start to rot the roots or trunk.
I faced with this, and I, however, perform a series of correct actions I was able to quickly re-flower.
trunk salvation
To save trunk Jade I have done the following:
1. Flower pulled from the ground;
2. Good dry it;
3. Transplanted to another soil.
If after drying the barrel continues to rot, the only solution will be rooting plants using cuttings survived.
What if the roots rot?
I have identified two ways that almost 100% probability will help you restore the decaying roots of Jade:
1. Money tree to be transplanted to another soil. Before that, its roots well washed with warm water, and the most affected areas are cut off with scissors.
place slices sprinkled with activated carbon is recommended. To flower quickly recovered, I advise you to handle it fundazol solution, which is used to treat diseases of indoor plants.
The solution should be diluted with water in a proportion of 10 g per 10 liters. The plant must be treated 2 times, but the solution must be used with a break of 4-5 days.
2. Jade is transplanted into another pot. The pot must be pre-covered with soil with charcoal at a ratio of 2: 1. The fact is that coal has the ability to absorb moisture well and the problems with Jade often arise because of an overabundance of water.
The causes of decay of the roots and trunk
I could not understand the reason for the decay of the roots and trunk of my Jade. All due to the fact that this problem may occur for many reasons.
The most common ones are the following:
• The plant is grown in the same soil in which it was purchased. The shops are usually sold Crassula planted in soil moisture capacity, which prevents the normal growth of plants;
• Flower watered too often;
• Pot has too large dimensions;
• Frequently changing soil plants, which is why it does not have time to settle down;
• The soil is a fungal or bacterial infection.
Thus, we can conclude that the root rot or stem unlikely to lead to your money tree death. The main thing - time to take the necessary measures.
