Poor "health" in Fatsia after transplant is a common occurrence. Damaged roots are unable to provide it with the required amount of water, that's why the leaves wither. The plant is sick 1,5-2 months.

The main thing during this period is not to flood (afraid of waterlogging) and do not dry out. The soil should dry out to the bottom in a week.

Fatsia happens, that even after careful handling it dies, if watering, without waiting for the dry earth coma. The pot must be taken according to the size of the root system. The transplanted plant is placed under the bag and often sprayed, adding Epin to the water once a week (dosage according to instructions).

FIND A PLACE FOR FATSIA

To fatsia come to her senses, you will have to look for a suitable place for her. If there is even a lot of diffused light, the appearance of small red spots on the leaves cannot be avoided.

In autumn, you can put the plant a little further from the window., moving closer as the season changes, and in the spring again pushing back.

The optimum temperature for keeping fatsia in winter is not higher +8-10 city. If it is not possible to comply with this condition, be sure to supplement the lighting from 10-12 hours, spray once every 10 days stems and leaves "Epinom".

Water the plant after the soil dries out almost to the full depth of the pot. Add "Zircon" to the water - 2-3 drops on 0,5 l of water.

FATSIA DANGER SIGNAL

Usually potted fatsia is planted with an onion, and if one of the stems has rotted, cut it as close to the roots as possible or try to twist it gently. Spray the bush with a fungicide: "Raw", Fundazol, "Score" or "Tolsin".

When it's time to moisturize, spill the soil with a solution of any of these preparations.

For the next watering add "Zircon", which stimulates root growth and has mild fungicidal properties. Check the dryness of the substrate to the bottom with a wooden skewer. But don't over-tighten with hydration, so that the soil does not start to lag behind the walls of the pot.
