Rainbow jade is a very suitable succulent for leaf viewing, not only the leaves are round like beads, but also transparent like agate, which is really beautiful in the best ornamental state! If it is propagated in batches, we can not only cut it directly in the pot, but also adopt the practice of seedling cultivation in hole plates.

How to deal with the rainbow jade long air root

However, when raising seedlings in acupuncture plates, the nutrients and water provided for seedlings are very limited, so it is more likely to cause the phenomenon of plant growth of aerial roots. In this way, when the taproot cannot absorb enough water and nutrients, the seedlings will grow some aerial roots on the stem, thereby absorbing nutrients and water from the air to maintain growth.

However, after the rainbow jade grows aerial roots, it will more or less affect the ornamental value of the plant to a certain extent, and it really doesn't look very beautiful. After all, rainbow jade is suitable for leaf viewing, and the soil suddenly grows so many air roots on the rhizome, which will inevitably affect the leaf viewing. Therefore, we need to deal with it correctly in time. So, how to deal with the rainbow jade long air root?

We can directly clean up the aerial roots that grow out of the rainbow jade seedlings, and then choose a larger oneFlower pots, transplant the seedlings into flower pots. Of course, for small seedlings, we can transplant with soil or bare roots, as long as they protect their taproots from damage, and then provide them with a suitable environment for slowing seedlings.

But if the rainbow jade seedlings have a long air root phenomenon, how should we deal with it? If it is a large seedling or an adult plant with long aerial roots, it must be caused by its main root not being able to draw nutrients and water from the potting soil normally. Either it may be due to damage to the root system, or it may be due to compaction of the potting soil, in short, the root system cannot properly obtain and supply water and nutrients from the soil.

In this case, if the stem of the plant is still intact and the root system is intact, then we just need to water it in time. However, if it is due to damage to the root system, especially the rhizome part, it is recommended that you adopt the method of cutting off the head to re-breed the severed seedlings! If the stem is basically intact, then we can also repot and change the soil for it, which can also solve the problem.
