The flowers you threw away, I gave them a good chop, and they sprouted like crazy, turning lush green in a month | Gardening Encyclopedia

Autumn has finally arrived! But looking at the plants that were battered and left barely alive by summer, many flower lovers are disgusted by them and just toss them away! But if these almost-dead flowers were picked up by me! A few quick moves, and I guarantee they'll be lush green in a month, even fresher and more vibrant than when you first bought them!

The almost-dead money tree, a few chops and it comes back to life!

The money tree (Pachira aquatica) is the most common plant found in trash bins. Its root system is weak and prone to waterlogging and root rot. Generally, when it's thrown away, it's in a state of root rot with no leaves. Don't be fooled by its lifeless appearance - chop it a few times like I do, and I guarantee it'll survive!

1. Money trees almost always die from root rot, so when you bring the trunk home, the first priority is to deal with its rotten roots.

2. Hold the roots under a faucet and rinse off the soil. Prepare some carbendazim, a chopping knife (or saw), and rooting hormone.

3. Use a sharp chopping knife or saw to completely cut off the rotten roots. Don't leave a single rotten spot - cut until the roots show a fresh, clean cross-section like in the picture below.

4. Soak the cleaned bottom trunk of the money tree in a carbendazim solution for about 10-15 minutes. After soaking, take it out, let it dry, then soak it in a rooting hormone solution for 20-30 minutes.

Flower lovers who don't have rooting hormone can soak some willow branches in water to use as a substitute.

5. Use scissors to cut off the branches at the top of the money tree. The shorter you cut, the better, because the money tree currently has no roots, and keeping branches and leaves will only consume the nutrients in the trunk, which is not conducive to rooting.

After pruning, place it in a cool, well-ventilated area to dry for 1-2 days.

6. After drying, the money tree is ready to be potted. When potting, place a layer of clay pebbles or coal cinders at the bottom of the pot. For the soil, you can mix garden soil with leaf mold and sand. Spray the soil to make it slightly moist.

Also, don't choose a pot that's too deep - like the pot in the picture below, it's too deep. If you can, choose a shallow pot.

7. After planting the money tree, move it to a cool, well-ventilated area. Don't water it. After about 10 days, water the soil with rooting powder solution.

8. About half a month later, the money tree will develop roots. During this period, absolutely do not water too much. You can just spray water around the trunk normally. After roots develop, the money tree will gradually grow small buds!

Chop up an almost-dead pothos a few times, and in 1 month you'll have several pots!

You've spent years growing a pothos, and then it accidentally gets root rot. Watching the once-thriving vines become shriveled and wilted - is it really beyond saving? No! It can still be saved!

1. Select all the relatively healthy, thick vines of the pothos, and use scissors to cut a segment every 2 nodes.

2. Prepare loose, breathable soil. If you have coconut coir bricks at home, you can use those. If not, mix leaf mold, peat moss, and perlite in a 2:2:1 ratio, mix well, spray with water, and pour into the flower pot.

3. Lay the pothos vines flat on the pot soil, and sprinkle a thin layer of soil on top.

4. Use a fine-nozzle spray bottle to spray water on the pot surface. After spraying, cover with a plastic bag or a layer of plastic wrap to retain moisture.

5. In this season, every day in the morning, noon, and evening, open the plastic bag for 1 hour each time to let air in. After about 7-10 days, the vines will develop roots! After rooting, give them some indirect light, and they'll quickly grow small buds!

6. After the pothos grows small buds, apply compound fertilizer water once every half month, and it will quickly fill the pot!
