To repair the roots of this plant, first cut off the water for a week, so as to get it out of the basin better, and then clean up the soil near the roots. Then clean up the black root and the empty root for it. All the rotten roots should be removed. Only a part of them should be cleaned up with a knife. If you can repair the root with your hands, do not use tools. You can make the wound area smaller with your hands.

I. soil removal

First, when repairing its roots, we need to dig it out. We should first cut off water for about seven days. Second, when digging it out, you can tap it gently outside the basin to separate the soil from the basin better, so that it can take out the soil with it. Third, clean up most of the soil on the root, and then wash away the soil that can't be cleaned with water until it becomes clean.

2. Prune rotten roots.

First, because its root is fleshy, although the root looks thick, it is very soft and easy to break. Second, it often grows some rotten roots. If it is not cleaned in time, it will even affect its life. Third, when repairing the root, first clean up the rotten root. If the whole root is rotten, it needs to be cut off. Only a part of it is rotten. You can cut it with a sterilized knife.

3. Trim the empty roots.

If the plant survives for a long time, after it has grown for many years, the root is easy to empty, only a pair of skin bags. Some old roots are darker in color, but they are very thin and weak. They can't bring nutrients to the leaves. Instead, they will consume nutrients and become rotten roots, so the empty roots should also be cleaned up.

Four, the skill of root cultivation

No matter what kind of root, if it can be cleaned directly by hand, do not use tools, because its root is very delicate, and the tools are easy to cause great wounds to it. Using hands can make the wound smaller, and the damage to it is also smaller. If the area of the wound is too large, it is easy to get bacteria.
