1. How to judge the rotten roots of rubber trees
Look at the basin soil: after watering the rubber tree once that day, wait until the same time the next day to check the basin soil. If the surface of the basin soil is slightly dry, its root system is normal. If the surface of the pot is still wet, but the roots are still dry, then there may be no problem. If the basin soil is still wet after two to three days, the root rot of the plant may be very serious
Look at the branches and leaves: if some branches and leaves lack luster, turn yellow, wilt and fall, it may be because the root rot leads to problems in the nutrient supply inside the plant. These problems occur when nutrient supply is insufficient
Look at the stem: if the stem of the plant is found to be dry and soft during daily maintenance, the root should be checked in time. There may be rot in the root
2. What about the rotten roots of rubber trees
Pruning the root: when the above problems are found in the rubber tree, it is necessary to take it out of the basin and take out the root in time. If it is found that the rot is not very serious, the rotten part can be cut off, and then part of the branches can be cut off, so as to reduce the plant's demand for nutrients and avoid insufficient nutrient supply. In addition, apply some plant ash on the incision, which can accelerate the healing of the wound. Wait until the wound dries before replanting. If the rot is serious, the plant may need to be abandoned
Strengthen management: after replanting, watering should be controlled. Do not water until it is dry. Do not rot the roots again because of ponding. After waiting for a month, the plant will produce new roots
