Culture methods and matters needing attention of Lotus Leaf Bamboo

The culture method of lotus leaf bamboo is suitable to be cultured in sandy soil with good drainage, the growth temperature is about 20-28 ℃, and can not be cultured in the place where the light is too strong, anti-freezing measures should be taken in winter, and cuttings can be used for propagation and transplanting. Note: do not put in the sun exposure, watering can use well water or tap water, water can add a few drops of nutrient solution, breeding to avoid drying wind, later growth should be too dense to properly trim bamboo leaves.

I. the method of culturing lotus leaf bamboo

1. Soil

Lotus leaf bamboo likes to be cultured in the environment of dampness, high temperature, waterlogging resistance, strong fertilizer resistance and cold resistance, and is suitable to grow in semi-muddy sand, alluvial clay and sandy soil with good drainage.

2. Temperature

The suitable growth temperature is 20-28 ℃, which can withstand the low temperature of 2-3 ℃, but anti-freezing measures should be taken in winter, generally in the hot and humid season in summer and autumn, which is the best stage for the growth and development of Phyllostachys pubescens.

3. Lighting

Lotus leaf bamboo does not have a high demand for light, and it is suitable for breeding under bright scattered light. Excessive light and exposure will lead to yellowing of leaves, fading of green, slow growth and other phenomena, so when planting in the field, it is necessary to build a 1.7-1.8-meter-high sunshade. 75% is generally appropriate to create a scattered light, half-shaded and half-sunny environment.

Especially from April to September, it is necessary to avoid sun exposure or soil drought as far as possible, otherwise it is easy to cause rough leaves, dry, weak growth, lack of leaf luster and so on, so as to reduce the ornamental value.

4. Watering

In order to keep the soil moist during the growth period, we can often spray or water the leaves, which is beneficial to the growth of the lotus leaf bamboo. In case of heavy rain, the stagnant water in the field should be discharged in time to prevent lodging.

5. Anti-freezing

In winter, attention should be paid to anti-freezing measures. Generally, when the temperature is below 10 ℃, the leaves will begin to yellowing and withering. During this period, the soil should be kept semi-moist, and watering and fertilization can be reduced according to the soil conditions.

6. Cutting

Lotus leaf bamboo has strong growth and germinating power, and can generally be propagated by cutting. as long as the temperature is suitable, it can be cut all year round, during which the stem without leaves can be cut off for cutting. the suitable length is 5-10cm, and three internodes need to be retained and then inserted in sand bed or semi-muddy sand.

7. Transplanting

In the southern spring and autumn season, it can sprout and take root in 25-30 days, and can be planted in the pot or transplanted in the field in 35 days.

II. Matters needing attention in culturing lotus leaf bamboo

1. Lighting conditions of lotus leaf bamboo.

Lotus leaf bamboo has the characteristics of resistance to shade and fear of sun, when it is cultured in a place with sufficient indoor light, it is beneficial to the photosynthesis of the leaves, the leaves are dark green and broad, on the contrary, the leaves are yellow and weak, and lose their ornamental value, so they can not be exposed to the sun.

2. Water quality conditions of lotus leaf bamboo.

After rooting, the lotus leaf bamboo can not change water, if there is a shortage of water, it is necessary to add water in time, it is best to choose well water, if the conditions do not permit, tap water can also be used, but it needs to be placed for about 2 days to add water. during the period, do not use oily and contaminated water, it is easy to make its roots rot.

3. Fertilization conditions of lotus leaf bamboo.

Do not add chemical fertilizer when replenishing water, chemical fertilizer will make the lotus leaf bamboo grow, appear the phenomenon of leaf yellowing, so when adding water, you can add a few drops of nutrient solution, which is conducive to its growth and development.

4. Wind and radiation conditions of lotus leaf bamboo.

Lotus leaf bamboo is afraid of the dry wind, so it needs to stay away from air conditioners, electric fans, televisions, washing machines and so on. Usually, it is necessary to spray water on the leaves to keep them moist.

5. Pruning conditions of lotus leaf bamboo.

To control the degree of density, if the growth is too dense, it is easy to cause leaf death, too thin will affect its ornamental.
