Cyclamen after the gulf requires rescue operations

It turns out that the Ministry of Emergency Situations is in need of not only people, but also plants. Especially when you have to save your cyclamen after the bay. This happens during unusually dry periods of the year. If these are rare collections, and there are no spare seeds, then an emergency situation ensues. Housewives strive to do everything to keep them alive, and fill the flowerpot. But capricious cultures begin to fade and gradually wither. Excessive moisture leads to root rot.

An unhealthy leaf appearance is the first sign of an obvious problem. Moreover, after watering, the plant does not absorb water, the liquid remains on the soil surface.

Cyclamen after the bay awaiting amputation

To begin with, the flower is taken out of the pot, and then its root system is carefully examined. If the roots are brown, dilapidated and rotten, then they are dead. Only young shoots that were launched by the plant in order to rehabilitate can please the gardener. Further actions of the florist are reduced to:

• removal of dead rhizome tentacles;
• drying the sections with a napkin (moisten each of the roots);
• cleaning of damaged tissues in the form of spots (with deep damage);
• cutting off old branches and even peduncles, since they can weaken the further growth of the culture;
• treating all wounds, including on growth points, with a concentrated fungicide solution (apply it as much as possible, because it does not cause burns).

Part of the foliage is left. This is especially true for young shoots in the middle of the outlet. Through them the subsequent feeding of the bush will be carried out.

The disinfected bush should dry for about 10 minutes. During this time, cups with a peat substrate are prepared for the cyclamen, which wilted after the flood. Break several tablets and pour into a container. As soon as the roots dry up and the soil is loosened, the seedling is transferred to a transparent glass. In this case, it is necessary to deepen both the points of growth and the entire tuber. It should be noted that evaporation will be very strong and can lead to shrinkage of the compacted stem.

Since all the roots have been completely removed, and the deciduous mass is very abundant, the plant should be made mini greenhouse... A humid microclimate is formed in it.

You can make a cover from a regular plastic bag. In this case, the bush is placed in a metal ring for compactness. An impromptu greenhouse is placed in a cool place or on a window, if the cyclamen rescue event after the bay is carried out in late autumn. It is advisable that it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Now it remains to observe the plant. If its foliage has not rotted, then the roots will grow healthy and strong.
