What is the reason why bamboo blooms?

Because bamboo doesn't blossom and bear fruit every year like other flowering plants, some people mistakenly think that bamboo doesn't bloom, but it does.

Scholars at home and abroad have different opinions, but they can be roughly divided into "circulation theory" and "nutrition theory" The former mainly thinks that bamboo is a perennial gramineous plant. Like other Gramineae plants, it has a certain growth cycle and can blossom and bear fruit after a certain period of time. But this statement ignores and denies the influence of environmental conditions on flowering cycle. The latter believes that inadequate nutrition, poor management, dry weather and poor growth environment are the reasons for bamboo flowering. But it ignores the inherent developmental essence of plants and overemphasizes the influence of environmental conditions.

Bamboo flowering is closely related to aging and death, and all flowering bamboo forests will die with it. Biological life process is a process of struggle and unity between aging cycle and rejuvenation cycle. The aging cycle of bamboo plants varies with bamboo species, and its rejuvenation cycle varies with environmental conditions. As long as the rejuvenation conditions are increased and the rejuvenation cycle is accelerated, the aging cycle can be changed and the life of bamboo can be prolonged.
