Can the turtle back bamboo be raised in water? how to raise the turtle back bamboo in hydroponics?

Nowadays, many people raise a pot of tortoise-backed bamboo at home. The plant of the tortoise-backed bamboo is very beautiful, which is somewhat similar to the shell of the tortoise. In addition, the longevity of the tortoise-backed bamboo is the first choice for many families. However, modern people cultivate flowers and plants not only to create a green environment, but also to cultivate methods that are simple and convenient. Presumably the traditional soil culture method, water culture appears to be more simple, clean and beautiful.

Can turtles and bamboos be raised in water?

Tortoise back bamboo can be cultivated not only in soil, but also in hydroponics, and it will grow well in hydroponic environment as long as it is properly maintained. In addition to the root system can absorb oxygen in the water, because its stems and leaves are also covered with aerial roots, so it can also absorb oxygen from the air.

How to raise turtle back bamboo in hydroponic culture

1. Material selection. Hydroponic cultivation of tortoise back bamboo needs to choose small soil culture plants, because small tortoise back bamboo is cultivated in water and is easier to survive.

2. Draw materials. Remove the turtle back bamboo from the soil, wash the roots and try not to hurt the roots.

3. Soak the solution. The roots of Phyllostachys pubescens need to be soaked in dilute potassium permanganate solution for about 10 minutes.

4. Apply thin fertilizer frequently. Tortoise back bamboo is a more fertilizer-tolerant foliage plant, in order to make more new leaves, green leaves with natural luster, fertilizer is applied once a month during the growing period, be careful not to let the fertilizer liquid stain the leaves.

5. Change the water and clean the container regularly. Change the water once a week, less bacteria in the water and roots compete for dissolved oxygen, and increase the dissolved oxygen in the water as much as possible.

How can turtles grow faster with bamboo on their backs?

1. Soil

1. This plant likes fertile soil, and because it grows very fast, we have to change the soil and flowerpots every year. If the soil and flowerpots are not changed, its roots are already full of flowerpots, and their roots have lost their vitality. How can they absorb nutrients and grow? So we should keep the habit of changing once a year.

2. the basin change will be carried out from March to April, take out the plant, remove the old soil and withered roots, and then prepare a larger basin, and then lower some hooves and broken bones at the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer. Then put some rotten leaf soil, sand and vegetable garden soil in it, and put the same amount of soil in each part, then put the plant in and fill the surface soil.

Second, lighting

Although this is a plant that likes to grow in shady places, there is no sunlight at all, which is not conducive to its development. We can put it in a house with light or in a place with light, and cover part of the sun with a sunscreen. This will be more conducive to its growth.

III. Fertilizer

This kind of plant needs to be fertilized during its growth, and because it is a plant that likes to consume a lot of fertilizer, we need to apply more. From April to September, you can add diluted cake fertilizer and water every 15 days, or you can use mixed water from human urine that has been retted. Because the root system of this plant is relatively tender, do not choose raw fertilizer or thick fertilizer when fertilizing.

How to trim the tortoise back bamboo

1. Prune the whole tree. If the cultivated plant has grown thickly, we can prepare a faster knife to cut its leaves and branches 2 to 3 centimeters from the base of the plant.

2. Cutting off the top. Cut off the branches that are too high at the top with a knife. If this pruning method is used, because the nutrition will be dispersed from the top to the bottom, the leaves can grow thicker than before, and the plant type will be more beautiful, but we should also pay attention to the problem of excessive growth of branches and leaves.

3. Plastic surgery. Sometimes the plant grows crooked, and then loses its original beauty, so we need to reshape it at this time. You can take a sharp blade to cut off the excess load-bearing lateral buds of the plant and tie the main stem with a strip of cloth for a period of time to restore it to a straight and straight state.

Tortoise-backed bamboo is one of the plants that can be hydroponically cultivated. It is a kind of water-loving plant itself, so there is no need to worry about turtle-backed bamboo being raised badly due to lack of water. Tortoise back bamboo is also a kind of fast-growing plant, so proper supplement of some nutrients can make it grow better.
