What is the reason why a mage has air roots and how to deal with it?

Article Catalog

There are four main reasons why a mage has Qi roots. First, there may be root problems. When the roots are damaged, their ability to absorb nutrients is weakened, making it difficult to provide nutrients to the plant, and the branches will grow aerial roots. Second, if the plant is watered too little and cannot absorb sufficient water from the soil, aerial roots will grow from the branches. Third, excessive moisture in the air causes aerial roots to grow on branches and trunks, absorbing moisture in the air. Fourth, the pot soil lacks nutrients, which stimulates the mage to grow aerial roots from the branches and absorb nutrients from the air.

1. Reasons

1. Root problems: When a mage grows aerial roots, he must first check whether there is any rot at the roots of the plant. When the roots are damaged, their ability to absorb nutrients is weakened and they can no longer continue to provide nutrients to the plant, and aerial roots will grow on the branches.

2. Too little watering: If there is too little watering, the plant will not be able to absorb sufficient water from the soil, and aerial roots will grow from the branches. Then the function of these aerial roots is to absorb moisture from the air.

3. The air is moist: keep the plants for a long time When placed in a high-humidity environment, the plant will have the illusion that there is sufficient moisture in the air, and aerial roots will grow on the branches to absorb moisture.

4. The pot soil lacks nutrients: If the plant is not repotted, replaced with soil or supplemented with nutrients for a long time, the lack of nutrients will stimulate the mage to grow aerial roots from the branches, and then absorb nutrients in the air. nutrient.

2. Solution

1. Caused by root problems. You don’t need to deal with the aerial roots first, but deal with the root problems first. Dig the plant out of the soil, remove the rotten part of the root, apply carbendazim powder to the wound, and then replant it in the soil.

2. Caused by too little watering. Cut off the aerial roots and add water to the plant in time to keep the soil moist.

3. Caused by excessive air humidity. First remove the aerial roots, and then move the plant to a relatively dry and ventilated environment to ensure ventilation and reduce the growth of aerial roots.

4. Caused by lack of nutrients. If the pot soil has not been changed for a long time, you need to change the pot soil for the plants immediately and use nutritious soil to meet the growth needs of the plants. If the plants have not been fertilized for a long time, they need to be replenished in time. In daily maintenance, you can apply a small amount of organic fertilizer or ternary slow-release fertilizer to the plants every two months or so.
