Bamboo, also known as Shouzhu or Cizhu, is a common ornamental plant. The following will introduce in detail the cultivation methods and precautions of Yizhu:
1.Breeding environment:
Light: Bamboo prefers a sunny environment and is suitable for placing in a sunny place. Choose an indoor balcony, outdoor flower bed or patio to ensure that the plants are able to photosynthesize and keep the foliage green.
Temperature: Bamboo is more cold-tolerant, but not cold-tolerant. When cultivated indoors, the suitable temperature is 15-25 degrees Celsius. When farming in cold regions, it is necessary to take measures to keep warm.
Ventilation: Bamboo needs a good ventilation environment to avoid excessive humidity and stagnant water.
2.Water and Fertilizer Management:
Watering: In summer, the bamboo needs to be kept moist and watered once a day. In winter, you can reduce the frequency of watering moderately, but maintain soil moisture to avoid over-drying the soil.
Spraying water mist: The leaf surface of the bamboo needs to be kept moist, and the branches and leaves can be sprayed with water mist regularly, especially during the dry season or when cultivated indoors.
Fertilization: March to September is the time when the bamboo grows vigorously, and fertilizer is applied once a month during this period. Use an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer and fertilize according to the package instructions to promote plant growth.
3.Precautions:
Pruning of long and dense branches: Regularly cut off the long and dense branches of B. chinensis to reduce nutrient consumption and maintain good shape. The pruned shoots can also be used as cuttings to propagate new seedlings.
Pest control: Bamboo is more resistant to pests and diseases, but it still needs to be paid attention to control. Regularly inspect the plants for signs of pests and diseases, such as leaf bites, yellowing, spots, etc. Once a problem is identified, appropriate prevention and control measures are taken in a timely manner, such as spraying pesticides or adjusting environmental conditions.
Repotting and rebasing soil: Bamboo grows quickly and needs to be repotted once every 1-2 years. When repotting, the soil should be replaced with new one to ensure that the plants have enough nutrients** and a good growth environment.
Increase drainage: In view of the fact that bamboo prefers a moist environment, in order to avoid the soil being too wet, a layer of drainage stone can be placed at the bottom of the pot or filled with porous material to improve the drainage performance of the soil.
To sum up, the cultivation methods of Phyllostachys chinensis include the selection of suitable breeding environment, reasonable water and fertilizer management, and timely pruning of long and dense branches. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the inspection and control of pests and diseases, regularly repotting and renewing the soil, and increasing the drainage performance of the soil. Following these methods and precautions can help maintain healthy growth and increase the ornamental value.
