All About Gardening
A few days ago, while out and about, I suddenly spotted a dragon bone cactus that someone had thrown away by the roadside. Wow, throwing away such a big one - isn't that a waste?
How to rescue it after picking it up and taking it home?
1. Carrying such a big dragon bone cactus home is really too much trouble - what to do? Carry a small knife with you, or buy a utility knife at a nearby shop, and just cut off the main stem right there!
2. The dragon bone cactus belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. Whether you are cutting the main stem or moving it, always remember to wear gloves and do not let the sap touch your skin, otherwise it can easily cause skin itching - and especially keep it out of your eyes.
3. Next, just carry it home and plant it! Prepare loose, breathable nutrient soil; you can mix some river sand into the soil to increase drainage and prevent the dragon bone cactus from root rot!
4. Finally, let the wound of the picked-up dragon bone cactus dry, then plant it directly in a pot. First let it recover in a cool, ventilated place for 1 week, then move it into the sun to get plenty of sunlight.
5. Although the dragon bone cactus is sun-tolerant, summer temperatures are high, so provide shade at noon. Normally, water only when you notice the potting soil has dried out, to prevent waterlogging and root rot. The dragon bone cactus is super easy to grow and will quickly shoot up to the roof!

For those plant lovers who can never grow roses well, is it true that a few days after buying one, it wilts and then gets thrown away?
How to rescue it after picking it up and taking it home?
1. For this pot of roses picked up and brought home, first use sterilized scissors to cut off all the spent flowers and wilted, drooping branches.
2. Because 5 rose plants were planted in one flower pot, the roots have basically filled the pot, so they need to be heavily pruned and divided into separate pots to give the roses enough growing space. After removing from the pot, soak the rose roots in carbendazim to disinfect and sterilize, then divide and repot them.
3. Place the divided young rose seedlings in a cool, ventilated place to recover. After about 1 week, you will see the roses sprouting new shoots!
4. If you want the roses to quickly sprout and grow leaves, you can spray a 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves to supplement nutrients. It takes only about 10 days for many new leaves to emerge!
5. After half a month, the rescued roses have grown more and more vigorous. After that, place them in the sun to get more sunlight and add some compound fertilizer or phosphorus-potassium fertilizer, and the roses will quickly bloom!

How to rescue a wilted gardenia?
1. If the gardenia you picked up and brought home only has wilted leaves, then water it using the soaking method: set the gardenia in a container filled with water, then place it on a cool, ventilated north-facing balcony.
2. If the humidity at home is not enough, you can find a larger plastic bag and cover the entire gardenia with it to ensure the water does not evaporate.
3. After about 2-3 hours, take it out and observe it for a day. If the leaves have recovered, it proves the gardenia wilted due to lack of water. If the leaves still keep drooping, then it is basically root rot!
4. For a gardenia with root rot, you can only remove it from the pot and wash the roots, cut off the rotten roots, then soak them in a carbendazim solution to sterilize and disinfect, and finally repot it.
How to rescue a gardenia with yellowing and falling leaves?
1. If the gardenia you picked up and brought home has leaves that have all turned dry and yellow, but the branches are still healthy green branches, then cut off all the withered flower buds and yellowed leaves, leaving only the healthy branches.

2. Place the pruned gardenia in a cool, ventilated place. It takes only about 7-10 days to see the pruned gardenia sprout new shoots, which basically means it has survived!
Pick up a kalanchoe and take it home, new leaves will quickly grow!
All About Gardening
When it comes to what is suitable to grow at home, Huahua would definitely say kalanchoe! However, many plant lovers cannot keep their kalanchoe alive and just throw it away. Everyone should quickly pick it up and give it a try - it will definitely be revived!
How to rescue it after picking it up and taking it home?
1. The most common problem with kalanchoe in summer is black rot! For a picked-up kalanchoe, first observe whether there are large black-rotted parts.
2. First use a sterilized knife to cut off all the black-rotted parts of the kalanchoe. Be careful not to leave any behind - keep cutting until all the black-rotted parts are removed, otherwise the pathogens will continue to infect it.
3. If black rot appears on the stem of the kalanchoe, also use a knife to cut off the black-rotted part, then apply some carbendazim powder to the wound to achieve sterilization and disinfection.
4. If the root system of the kalanchoe has already rotted, cut off the rotten roots, soak them in carbendazim for 20-40 minutes, sterilize and disinfect, let them dry, then repot and plant.
5. If the kalanchoe has rotted so much that only the leaves are healthy, then select healthy leaves and propagate them directly by cuttings. In summer when the weather is hot, it takes only about 20 days for them to take root!
Pick up a money tree and take it home, it can come back to life!
All About Gardening
Many plant lovers complain to Huahua that money trees are really hard to grow, and they die from root rot at the slightest slip! So most plant lovers have told Huahua about their experiences of picking up money trees from the trash can!
How to rescue it after picking it up and taking it home?
1. Some plant lovers throw away a money tree as soon as it rots, afraid it will affect their wealth luck. So of the money trees picked up from the trash can, some are actually still quite good.
2. For a picked-up money tree, first gently squeeze the bark to check for any soft parts. If the trunk is not soft, it proves the branches are good. First cut off all the yellowed and withered leaves, then shorten the branches, leaving 2-3 buds.
3. If you feel that the trunk of the money tree has already become soft, then find a sterilized saw and cut off all the soft parts of the trunk, continuing until the money tree shows a healthy cut surface.
4. To ensure the humidity of the money tree, plant lovers who can do so may apply a layer of wax on the healthy cut surface, or cover it with several layers of plastic wrap.
5. If, upon observing the root system of the money tree, you find that the roots near the soil surface already have rotten parts, then remove the money tree from the pot and dig out the roots.
6. Cut off the rotten roots, then mix carbendazim and rooting solution in a 1:1 ratio to make a solution, put the money tree roots in to soak for more than 4 hours, then take them out, let them dry, and repot and plant.
7. Place the money tree in a cool, ventilated place. When you find that the money tree has sprouted new little shoots, it proves the rescue has succeeded!
8. If you find that both the trunk and roots of the picked-up money tree have completely rotted, then it basically cannot be revived, so just throw it away!
