Once one of the most popular bonsai plants, Fugui bamboo is regarded as a symbol of good luck for its emerald green leaves and tall posture, and is commonly found in the decoration of homes, offices and shops.
However, in recent years, plant lovers have begun to have reservations about Fugui bamboo, and even no longer recommend maintenance. There are four main reasons behind this change, that is, the leaves are easy to wither and yellow, the roots are easy to rot, the cold resistance is poor, and they cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time. Let's ** the deeper reasons for these problems one by one to help flower lovers better understand and manage their rich bamboo.
First, let's take a closer look at why the leaves of Fugui bamboo tend to turn yellow. Fugui bamboo is a plant that is sensitive to the environment, and it has high requirements for light, humidity and temperature. When the environmental conditions are not suitable, the leaves of Fugui bamboo are easily affected, showing yellowing, fading and even falling.
Especially in the hot and dry summer, if the maintenance method cannot be adjusted in time, it is easy to lead to the drying and falling off of the leaves of Fugui bamboo. Therefore, in order to keep the leaves of Fugui bamboo healthy and green, flower lovers need to pay attention to adjusting the light and humidity in time, and avoid exposure to the sun and dry environment.
Secondly, let's take a look at the problem that the root system of Fugui bamboo is easy to rot. The root system of Fugui bamboo is relatively fragile, which will have a negative effect on overwatering or potting soil, which can easily lead to root rot, which will affect the growth and health of plants.
To avoid this, flower lovers need to take care to control the amount of watering and make sure that the potting soil is kept moderately moist but not too moist, so as not to cause the roots to be flooded for a long time. In addition, regular replacement of potting soil is also one of the important measures to maintain the health of the root system, which can effectively avoid the damage of bacteria and parasites in the soil to the root system.
Third, let's pay attention to the problem of poor cold resistance of Fugui bamboo. Although Fugui bamboo is a thermophilic plant, it is not adapted to cold environments. In the cold winter, especially when encountering severe cold weather, Fugui bamboo is easily damaged by frost, resulting in leaf wilting and even the death of the whole plant.
In order to avoid this from happening, flower lovers can move the bamboo indoors or under a shade net before the cold weather sets in, providing proper insulation measures to protect the plants from the cold.
Finally, let's talk about the problem that Fugui bamboo cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time. Although Fugui bamboo prefers a well-lit environment, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause damage to the plants. Excessive sun exposure can lead to leaf burns, wilting and even damage to the plant as a whole.
Therefore, when placing the location of Fugui bamboo, you should choose a shade location, or take appropriate shading measures to avoid direct sunlight causing damage to the plant.
To sum up, although Fugui bamboo was once very popular, it has gradually been included in the "blacklist" of plant maintenance due to its problems such as yellowing leaves, perishable roots, poor cold resistance, and inability to be exposed to the sun for a long time.
In order to ensure the healthy growth of Fugui bamboo, flower lovers need to pay attention to adjusting environmental conditions, controlling the amount of watering, maintaining appropriate humidity, providing proper insulation and shading, etc., to ensure that the growth environment and maintenance methods of plants meet their growth needs, and avoid the occurrence of plant wilting and death due to improper maintenance.
