Precautions for buying Fugui bamboo
In general, the ideal time to buy is between April and September, which coincides with the ** season for hydroponic plants.
However, in winter, it can be challenging to maintain Fugui bamboo in places with low temperatures, as they are not very hardy. The preferred growing temperature for these plants is between 20 -28. Therefore, if you are considering buying Fugui bamboo in winter, you should first think about the temperature of the maintenance environment.
Of course, there is indoor heating in the north, and the basic temperature is above 20, which is suitable for the growth of Fugui bamboo.
In addition, when choosing Fugui bamboo, observing the color of the leaves is key. Choose plants with bright green leaves, lush foliage, and a vibrant look. As for the thickness of the branches, it is not actually the most important consideration. Bright green leaves mean that the plant is growing well and adapting more easily to a new environment.
If there are no leaves, observe the pole and choose a green pole, the yellowish pole has poor activity and is not easy to raise.
Fugui bamboo maintenance tips
If you have rooting solution at home, you can soak the rooting solution to help them adapt to the new environment faster and grow healthier roots.
For hydroponic Fugui bamboo, water quality is very important. While tap water can be used, it's best to store tap water for 24 hours to allow some of the chlorine in it to evaporate.
Adding a vitamin C tablet or aspirin to the water is also a good option to help provide some of the extra nutrients that the plant needs. Of course, you can also use hydroponic plant nutrient solution, and you can use whatever you have at home.
When the bamboo has not yet taken root, it does not need too much water, and gradually increase the amount of water after the plant has grown some fibrous roots. Keep in mind that too much water is not good for plant growth, so you need to control the amount of water carefully.
When it comes to whether Fugui bamboo needs sunlight, the answer is yes. But be careful not to leave them in strong sunlight, which can easily cause the leaves to burn and turn yellow. Generally speaking, it is enough to provide 2 hours of scattered light per day to help the plant photosynthesize and maintain normal chlorophyll levels.
If the environmental light of Fugui bamboo is poor, although Fugui bamboo will also grow, it will be long, the longer the stem node will be thinner, and the leaves will also droop down, affecting the ornamentation.
If you find that the leaves of Fugui bamboo are yellowing, it may be affected by cold weather. At this time, the plants should be moved to a relatively warm place, but avoid directly facing the air conditioner heater, radiator or near high-power electrical appliances to avoid being affected by overheating.
In addition, if the leaves of Fugui bamboo turn yellow, it may be due to a lack of iron. At this time, you can regularly add a little chelated iron solution or ferrous sulfate solution to the water when changing the water to supplement the iron required by plants. In this way, the leaves will be able to regain their verdant green.
Maintaining Fugui bamboo is not a difficult task. As long as you choose the right season when buying, give the right amount of nutrients and water, and provide proper light, I believe that your Fugui bamboo will definitely thrive.
