If you find that the root system is rotten but the branches and leaves are still lush, you can cut off strong branches, use perlite and peat soil as the substrate, and insert the branches into them for re-maintenance. If only the branches and leaves are withered but the root system is still healthy, you can leave a few buds from the roots upward, cut off all the upper parts, and place them in a ventilated and diffused light environment. Pay attention to watering and slowly expose them to sunlight after new buds grow.

1. Root rot

If you find that the root system of a plant is rotten, but the branches and leaves are still lush, you can use cuttings to save it.

1. Cut strong branches from the plant to ensure good growth and increase the possibility of survival. Give priority to those with aerial roots and leaves at the upper end.

2. Soak the branches in water for a period of time to make the branches Fully absorbent.

3. Prepare clean plain sand or perlite and mix it with peat soil as the cutting substrate. Insert the branches inside, remove the lower leaves, and do not bury them in the soil. After the cuttings are made, spray water on the branches to moisturize them and place them in a diffused light environment to promote rooting. Be sure to pay attention to the application of water during subsequent maintenance, and never overdo it.

4. You can also insert the branches with water. Go to water and wait for roots to form. This method is more convenient for branches with aerial roots.

2. Withered branches and leaves

If only the branches and leaves are wilted and the roots are still healthy, they can be cut off and replanted.

1. Observe the condition of the roots, leave a few buds from the roots upward, and then remove and cut off all the upper parts.

2. After cutting, place it in a ventilated environment with astigmatism. Wait until the potting soil is dry and white, then water it once.

3. After new shoots grow, slowly expose them to sunlight. Pay attention to spraying water on the plants to promote growth.
