How to develop fleshy roots

For the rooting of succulents, decapitated succulents and seedlings with leaves will start from this process. The most important condition in this process is humidity. The succulents need to feel the presence of water, so that they can mobilize auxin to promote cell division and new root germination. Rooting is the basic condition for the development of fleshy roots, and the process of rooting determines the number of fleshy roots. If succulents have only a few roots, then no matter how strong these roots are, they can't support the growth of the whole succulents. Never plant immediately after pruning. Be sure to put it in a cool and ventilated place, slowly dry the wound for more than three days before putting it into the basin. This can effectively prevent the black rot of the meat and the dryness and lack of water in the meat wound. At this time, the hormone level is high, which is conducive to the rooting of meat. When the wound is dry, you can put it in the basin, but pay attention to the soil on the basin not to be too wet. It is estimated that a new root system will be born in a week.

For succulents just bought, if the root system is developed, cut off the lateral roots and keep only the main roots, otherwise it will affect the development of new roots and slow down the growth. In addition, the extra leaves on the fleshy side should be removed, or the rotten fleshy petals must be removed. Otherwise, diseases and pests will spread to healthy meat nearby. It is best to soak the cleaned meat in potassium permanganate solution or carbendazim water solution for 30 minutes for sterilization. After pruning, the fleshy root has a wound, which is easy to be infected when it meets water. You can apply a small amount of carbendazim, but try not to wash the roots of fleshy roots, avoid humid environment, and wait until the fleshy wounds are dry.

Will it be bad to raise succulents without holes in the pelvic floor? It is not good to raise succulents without digging holes in the bottom of the basin, because the roots of plants also need to breathe. There are no holes in the pelvic floor of succulents, so the excess water can't flow out after watering, and the air can't enter the substrate, which will affect the root respiration and make the root retch for a long time. Pay attention to watering less and control the amount of water. It doesn't matter if the matrix soil is dry. Due to high humidity and lack of air, the roots are in poor condition and easy to rot. Succulent plants generally like light, so it is better to put them in a bright and ventilated place on the balcony. Dark light is easy to grow white and grow badly. In summer, the light intensity is high, so it can be shaded appropriately.

The secret of raising roots of succulents is to keep the roots of all succulents as efficient as possible. In this way, we will not be eliminated by our fleshy selves. In addition, be careful not to supply too much water to the meat. Too much water will make succulents think that only a few roots are enough to sustain life, and it will also lead to inefficient roots being eliminated by succulents. It takes energy to feed strong roots with a lot of meat. If a root system is dry for a long time, it will lead to the root system not absorbing water. This inefficient root system will be actively abandoned by succulents. Meat will refuse to provide nutrients for such roots, and eventually the roots will wither and die.

What if succulents get sick in the rainy season? It can isolate diseased succulents. If the diseases on the leaf surface of succulents are completely self-healing in dry days, the rainy season will only make the diseases spread infinitely, from a succulent to the whole balcony. Therefore, when succulents are found to have diseases and there is no bactericide at hand, the diseased succulents should be separated from the healthy succulents immediately. Prevention is the foundation of maintaining succulents in rainy season, and gradually open cultivation can also improve the disease resistance of succulents. It is necessary to spray some bactericidal and insecticidal drugs in a planned way to prevent diseases.
