There are two main reasons for the shrunken branches of golden branches and jade leaves: one is excessive watering, which leads to root rot; The second is improper fertilization, resulting in root burning. In view of these two reasons, the following prevention and control measures can be taken:
1.Controlled watering: The potting soil needs to be kept moist, but overwatering can cause root rot and affect the absorption of nutrients by the plant, which can shrink the branches. Therefore, in the process of maintenance, it is necessary to reasonably control the watering and keep the potting soil moderately dry.
2.Scientific fertilization: too much or too thick fertilization of golden branches and jade leaves is easy to burn the roots and affect the growth of plants. Therefore, when fertilizing, it is necessary to follow the principle of "thin fertilizer and diligent application", choose the right fertilizer, and avoid excessive fertilization.
3.Replace the potting soil: If the roots of the golden branches have rotted, you need to remove the plants from the pot, prune the rotten roots, and replace them with new potting soil and replant them. At the same time, add an appropriate amount of rooting powder to the new potting soil to help the plants take root quickly.
4.Spraying agents: If the atrophy of the branches of the golden branch is caused by the disease, you can spray an appropriate amount of fungicides, such as carbendazim, methyl tobuzin, etc., to prevent and control the disease.
In short, the causes and prevention methods of atrophy of golden branches and jade leaves need to comprehensively consider a variety of factors, starting from watering, fertilization, potting soil replacement, pesticide prevention and control, etc., in order to effectively protect the healthy growth of golden branches and jade leaves. At the same time, in the daily maintenance, we should also pay attention to the growth of the plant, and find and solve the problems in time.
