The roots of Clivia are all fleshy roots. They are well raised. Even like the picture below, they are all dense roots. The soil has been eaten up. It looks scary. However, the leaves of Clivia with such a strong root must be huge, bright and beautiful.
Junzi orchid is particularly fond of fertilizer, especially the oil-bearing crops such as melon seeds, peanuts and Castor seeds. When the basin is changed in autumn or spring, sprinkle a small handful on the bottom of the basin to rub against the long leaves and flowers. It is very energetic, but pay attention to use the fried original melon seeds and peanuts, and do not directly contact the root system.
In addition to oil-bearing crops such as melon seeds and peanuts, the waste oil in the lampblack machine works well. Dig a small pit every year and drip the waste oil twice to make sure that the leaves are bright and smooth. It's like waxing. Similarly, the waste oil can't directly contact the root system. Use 1-2 times a year. Drop 1-2 drops each time. Don't be greedy.
The fleshy root system of Clivia doesn't like sticky soil. It's better to use peanut shell: rotten leaf soil: Cinder = 3:5:2. Of course, the peanut shell should be used after ripening. Put it in a plastic bag, sprinkle some water to get wet, put it in the sun for a few months, and then it can be used after it's blackened and crushed.
If the growth of your Clivia is slow, and there are rotten leaves and yellow leaves, it may be that there is a problem with the root system. When you change the basin, you should check and remove the rotten root, the empty root (the empty root system is in a pinch), and the old root.
Then soak the remaining roots in carbendazim solution for 1-2 hours, take them out and dry them for half a day, and then replant them. Later, they will grow much faster!
Auspicious fragrance, fragrant flowers, blooming in winter and spring, meaning: auspicious and auspicious. In fact, Daphne odora is also a fleshy root system with strong water storage capacity and drought tolerance. However, many flower friends try their best to water it in summer and autumn dormancy season, resulting in water accumulation in the root system, resulting in light yellow leaves and heavy withering of the whole plant!
To raise Daphne, we must use a small flowerpot. It is not easy for the small soil to accumulate water and retouch the roots. The large flowerpot has more soil and absorbs water. The water accumulates in the soil. If it cannot be drained out, it will cover the roots and rot.
The root of Daphne odora is easy to rot, and the stem is easy to black rot. therefore, in the process of cultivation, many gods will leak out the top root and not completely bury it in the soil. In this way, the surface root system and the stem near the root can breathe freely, and the risk of rot will be greatly reduced!
When watering, you must see that it is wet when it is dry. The basin surface is white. Only when it is light can it be watered. Or when you see that the top leaves are drooping, you can directly put the flower end of the basin into the basin filled with water and soak it. When you feel the basin surface is slightly wet, you can bring it out.
Note that in summer and autumn, when it is dormant (above 25 degrees), it is necessary to put it in a cool place, control the watering, keep the basin soil dry, and not to water it in the hot noon. It is better to water it again at 6-8 in the morning, so that the excess water can be evaporated in the whole day to avoid the risk of rotten roots.
In addition, it is very important to place Daphne on a well ventilated windowsill or balcony. You can hang up the bottom of the basin to expose the permeable hole. If the root system can breathe fresh air, it will grow thick and much more!
Hewanglan, also known as paradise bird, has large leaves, high plant shape and fast growth. A basin is placed in the corner of the living room. It is high-end and atmospheric, and it will produce flowers with special noble and temperament. But if it wants to blossom, it must grow for more than 4 years, and its root system is particularly healthy.
The root system of a little big seedling is so thick and strong. It can be imagined that the root system of a big seedling is much more developed.
Hewanglan itself has a large plant shape, strong root system and long growth, so it needs to be replaced once a year, and it must use a deeper basin with a height of more than 30 cm. Don't use too small basin, it will hinder the development of root system, cause leaf curl, fracture, and even can't bloom.
Put some bone meal or rotten chicken manure or sheep manure on the bottom of the basin. In spring and autumn, apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate or calcium superphosphate once a month.
Hewanglan likes sunshine. It's best to put it in the place with the best light at home. It's better to guarantee more than 6 hours of sunshine every day, especially in winter and spring. It's shady in spring and summer. There are many shady leaves, strong roots, and it's easy to blossom.
Many people buy it home and put it in the shade corner of the room. The light is bad and the ventilation is bad. Soon the leaves will wilt, curl and the roots will rot.
Hewanglan belongs to tropical flowers, which is not cold resistant. In winter in the north, the minimum temperature must be above 5 degrees, otherwise it is easy to freeze to death. In winter, the watering will be reduced slowly. When the temperature is below 10 ℃, the water will be cut off directly to avoid frostbite of root system.
It has large leaves and thick stems. It's very atmospheric at home, and its fleshy root system is also very strong. Sometimes it will produce long and thick air roots from the pole, some of which are thicker than the fingers!
The fleshy root system of Swiss cheese plant likes loose and untidy soil. You can use the proportion of saprophytic soil: river sand: garden soil = 3:4:3. The basin bottom should be padded with at least 3cm thick ceramsite or cinder as the drainage layer to prevent water accumulation and allow the root system to breathe freely.
In addition, it grows rapidly. Every spring or autumn, it's better to change the basin for it, remove the external 1 /3-1 /4 old soil, withered root and old root, and then fill in new nutrient soil.
They like the humid environment, the leaves and the air roots growing outside. They can be sprayed with water every 2-3 days, so that the leaves will grow big and the color will be green.
There must be a large demand for fertilizer because of the large leaves. When changing pots, in addition to adding some rotten chicken manure and cow manure to the bottom of the pots, nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus potassium fertilizer can be applied once a month in the growth season of spring, summer and autumn.
For nitrogen fertilizer, when watering, add 2 grains of urea and P-K fertilizer to the water, and spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaf surface.
Money tree, a green single pole, has a pair of leaves, like copper money, auspicious and festive, and the root system in people's soil is thick and strong, but also can produce a small potato like meat roots, which is full of vitality.
The thick roots and potatoes of the money tree are white, fat and tender. In fact, there is a lot of water in the root system, which supplies the money tree with long leaves. Even if it is not watered for two or three months, it is still vigorous and green. Therefore, you can spray water on the leaves every day at ordinary times. As for watering, it can be done once a half month. In winter, the watering cycle should be longer.
Don't pour it twice in three days. No matter how strong the roots are, they can't stand the water retting. If they have rotten roots and rotten roots for a long time, the whole plant must be thrown away.
Money tree has been raised for a long time. Some branches are yellow and lodging. It's not beautiful. It's better to cut them down. After cutting them down, the buds that were originally held back will come out, and money tree will come back to life.
Generally, the money trees bought in the market are very high in flowerpots, and they are all porcelain pots, which are easy to rot due to poor drainage. You can put some wood blocks and bricks on the bottom of the flowerpot, and expose the permeable holes at the bottom of the flowerpot, so that after watering, the excess water will flow out quickly through the permeable holes.
And in winter, there is a warm floor at home, and it should be padded up. Don't let the basin directly put on the warm floor, otherwise the temperature of the floor is too high, and it is easy to soak the roots after watering.
Yulu, Yufan, Shoushou, Vientiane, baocao and other 12 volumes of fleshy plants in Liliaceae, not only have their leaves crystal clear, but also their roots are different from other fleshy plants. Their roots are very thick, like a small radish, white, tender and tender. The stronger and thicker the roots, the more crystal clear and full and moist the leaves.
If the fleshy root system is planted in heavy clay garden soil or peat soil, it is easy to rot. therefore, loose granular soil must be used. You can use the proportion of peat (rotten leaf soil): vermiculite: coconut bran: Red Jade soil = 2:1:1:2 to prepare the soil for Yulu (Vientiane, longevity, Yufan, etc.).
In a well ventilated place, peat (rotten leaf soil) can be used in three parts. Anyway, the proportion of granular soil (vermiculite, perlite, hematite soil, deer marsh soil, and Maifanshi) is larger than that of nutrient soil (peat soil, rotten leaf soil, etc.), accounting for at least 60% or more.
In addition, the fleshy root system is particularly drought resistant, so it should be watered less. It can be watered again when the outer leaf is soft. Generally, it is watered once every 1-2 weeks or so, and water can be cut off directly when it is above 32 degrees and below 5 degrees. Too much light is needed, too. There is enough scattered light around the windows.
Yulu (Vientiane, Shoushou, Yufan, etc.) is a thick radish root that grows straight in the basin. Therefore, we need to plant it in a high basin of more than 10 cm to meet the growth needs of its fleshy roots.
The root system of Yulu (Vientiane, Shoushou, Yufan, etc.), which is thick with radish root, is responsible for storing water, and thin with capillary root, is responsible for absorbing water. The capillary root is easy to age, so every spring or autumn, we need to repair the capillary root system, so that it can grow a new white capillary root again, with stronger ability to absorb water.
If you find that the jade dew (Vientiane, longevity, jade fan, etc.) is not in good condition, you can gently lift it, and if you find that the shaking is serious and not firm, it is likely to be rotten root. You need to cut off the rotten root completely. Seriously, the root is not left at all. Smear the wound with carbendazim powder, dry it for 1-2 days, and then replant it.
The most important maintenance skill of orchid is the root. The fleshy root system is well cultivated. The thick and dense root in the basin is big, which is not well cultivated. The root system is few and rotten.
When you plant orchids, you can't plant only one or two in one pot. It's not easy to survive. You'd better plant three or five or more together. The root system is strong, the leaves are flourishing, and you love to bloom.
If the root of orchid wants to grow well, the soil must be loose. It can be prepared according to the ratio of rotten leaf soil: peanut shell: Cinder = 2:1:1. The peanut shell should be put in a plastic bag to ripen and blacken in advance, and then be reused. The cinder should be soaked for several times to remove alkali. It can also be sapropel: Perlite = 1:1.
The fleshy roots of orchids grow very long and many, so it's not allowed to raise orchids in large and shallow basins, but in thin and high root control basins, purple sand basins and earthenware basins. In this way, the roots can be fully stretched without water accumulation and rotten roots.
Orchids like to be wet. Usually, they can spray more water and ventilate in time, but there is absolutely no water in the basin. Before watering, find a toothpick and insert it into the basin soil, wait for 10 minutes, and then pull it out. If the toothpick surface is wet, do not water it. If it is dry, water it.
Diaolan is a flower that almost every family can raise. Although its leaves are thin and soft, the roots in the soil are quite strong. Sometimes they can burst the flowerpot. Look at this fat white radish root. It's so smart that people really want to bite it.
If you want to grow radish roots, the leaves are bright and broad, you have to give it some good food, such as cooked soybeans. Dig a small pit along the edge of the Diaolan basin, bury 1-2 cooked soybeans, and then fill with soil. Pay attention not to let the soybeans directly contact the root system, and do not bury too much. Bury once in spring and autumn.
Cooked soybeans can also be retted with water to form the water for the rotten soybeans, which is also very useful when mixed with water for 50 times to pour Chlorophytum.
The eggshell is rich in calcium, phosphorus and many microelements. When it is mixed in the soil or padded on the bottom of the basin, it can not only release nutrients for the Chlorophytum to absorb, but also drain water to prevent rotten roots, so that the roots can breathe freely and grow stronger.
But if you want to use the eggshell, you'd better first step it into small pieces, and then fry it in a pan until it's yellowish, and then dry it, so it's tasteless and doesn't hurt the root.

The radish root of Chlorophytum is so thick that it has a lot of water stored in it, so people are very drought resistant. Don't water it for three days at ordinary times. When you see the leaves are wilting and curling, it's not too late to water them again.
After pouring, the bottom of the basin shall be padded to let the excess water flow out of the basin as soon as possible, so as to avoid the root retting in the basin.
