Bamboos are a slow-growing plant that does not require too much fertilizer, otherwise it will cause excess nutrients, causing the leaves to turn yellow or even fall off. However, bamboos should not lack the necessary nutrients, otherwise it will affect growth, cause the leaves to turn yellow and lose their vitality.
The temperature is uncomfortable or changes too much. Bamboos are a kind of temperature-loving plants, the suitable temperature range is 18-28, if the temperature is too low or too high, bamboos will be damaged by frost or heat, and the leaves turn yellow, wilt or fall off. In addition, bamboos are not resistant to temperature differences, and if the temperature changes too quickly or too frequently, bamboos will be stimulated, and the leaves will turn yellow and lose their luster.
Pest. Bamboo is also affected by some pests and diseases, such as powdery mildew, red spiders, aphids, etc., these pests and diseases will absorb the sap of bamboo, causing the leaves to turn yellow, wilt or fall off.

Generally speaking, bamboos are watered once a week, and the amount of watering is based on soaking the soil, and there should be no water accumulation or leakage. If the bamboo is maintained by hydroponics, the water should be changed regularly to keep the water clean and avoid root rot.
Proper fertilization. Bamboo does not need too much fertilization, generally speaking, apply a thin fertilizer once a month, preferably with liquid fertilizer, such as diluted enzymes or organic fertilizers, and avoid using chemical fertilizers to avoid overnutrient overgrowth or salt accumulation.
Maintain temperature. Bamboo should be placed in a place with a suitable temperature, avoid too low or too high temperatures, and also avoid places where the temperature difference is too large. Generally speaking, the minimum temperature of the bamboo is not less than 10, the maximum temperature is not higher than 35, if the temperature is too low or too high, you can properly adjust the indoor temperature, or move the bamboo to a place with a suitable temperature.
Control pests and diseases. Bamboo should be kept clean and hygienic, the leaves and roots should be checked regularly, and signs of pests and diseases should be found and treated in time to avoid spreading. In general, the leaves can be washed with clean or soapy water, or the leaves and roots can be sprayed with an appropriate amount of insecticide or fungicide to eliminate pests and diseases.
