Cultivation methods and matters needing attention of Changshou bamboo
1, warm environment
The suitable growth temperature of Changshou bamboo is between 18-25 degrees. In this temperature range, plants can grow faster and stronger. If the temperature is lower than 18 degrees and higher than 25 degrees, it will affect the growth of plants and the state of plants will become worse. Therefore, it is necessary to control the growth temperature when curing longevity bamboo.
2. Proper lighting
Longevity bamboo is very resistant to shade. If there is no light for a long time, the leaves will still be shiny green. Longevity bamboo is afraid of direct sunlight, especially when the sun is strong in summer, which is not suitable for exposure.
In spring, summer and autumn, plants can be placed indoors to scatter light. In winter, the sunshine is very weak. Put it on the window sill near the south to receive sunlight, the leaves will carry out photosynthesis and produce nutrients for plants, which is conducive to the vigorous growth of plants. Proper sunlight exposure can also raise the soil temperature and help plants survive the winter safely.
3. Fertile and well-drained soil
Longevity bamboo likes to grow in fertile, loose, breathable and well-drained sand. In this kind of soil, the roots of plants grow vigorously, and the roots are well maintained, so that plants can thrive. You can also buy nutritious soil for planting.
4. Don't water too much.
Longevity bamboo doesn't like drinking water, so it should be watered less to maintain longevity bamboo. Don't water the plants too much at a time, just keep the soil slightly dry.
5. Rational fertilization
Longevity bamboo is a kind of fertile flower, which needs to consume a lot of nutrients during plant growth. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium must be combined to fertilize plants. Usually, fertilizer must be dissolved in water and then applied to potted soil. Fertilize the plants every 20 days.
Fertilization of longevity bamboo depends on plant growth. If the plant is weak, you can apply it several times. If the plants grow vigorously, it means that there is no shortage of fertilizer and you can use less.
6, appropriate pruning
Longevity bamboo absorbs a lot of nutrients and its branches and leaves grow rapidly. If not pruned, the plant will grow taller and the branches will be messy, which will seriously affect the ornamental value of the plant. Therefore, the maintenance of Changshou bamboo can not ignore the pruning work. Pruning long branches, weak branches, diseased branches and over-dense branches, keeping the plant shape beautiful, promoting the growth of new branches, is conducive to the growth of longevity bamboo.
