How to raise bamboo in pot culture methods and matters needing attention in pot culture of bamboo

Bamboo has been planted in China for a long time. The shape of bamboo is slender and straight, so many people use bamboo to describe people's character. Nowadays, many people like to plant bamboo as a potted plant at home, but when bamboo is raised at home, we should not be careless and need careful maintenance.

How to grow bamboo in pots

1. Soil. Bamboo likes acidic and neutral soil. Potted soil is a special small environment, which has limited soil capacity and poor buffering capacity to water and fertilizer, so potted soil should be loose, permeable and aerated, and has strong water and fertilizer retention capacity. and the light weight of the base soil. This is not only conducive to the growth and development of bamboo roots and the activity of rhizosphere fungi, will not cause root rot due to stagnant water, but also ensure that there is sufficient water and fertilizer for bamboo growth and development.

2. Light. There is a demand for it, but not too strong. Be sure to keep a shade in summer. In winter, it should be placed in a sunny and leeward place.

Methods and matters needing attention of Bamboo potted Culture

I. Culture methods

1. Water management. Shallow planting of potted bamboo should avoid deep burying of thick soil, which should be dry, avoid muddy, do not make direct sunlight in hot summer, should be watered once a day in the morning, and spray branches and leaves once in the evening, in order to keep potted bamboo green, when the temperature drops to about 10 ℃, it should be moved to indoor nursery to avoid withered tips and leaves. It is appropriate to keep it at 10 ℃ over the winter and water less in winter, but the basin soil should be kept moist to prevent "dry plants".

2. control the use of fertilizer. Pot bamboo fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer mixed into the basin soil when filling the basin. Pot bamboo heavy ornamental, required short, should be controlled between 50-60 cm. As the basin soil is shallow, it is necessary to control the amount of fertilizer application. If you apply fertilizer blindly, potted bamboo will grow tall and stout, losing its small and unique charm.

2. points for attention:

In winter, it should be kept in a warm place or covered with plastic film to keep warm. When evaporation is particularly large in summer, it is often necessary to spray some water on the leaves.

What about the yellowing of bamboo leaves?

1. Fertilization: when transplanting, we should pay attention to mixing base fertilizer into the soil, pay attention to topdressing after bamboo seedlings, and apply compound fertilizer in spring and summer to maintain nutrition supply in accordance with the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application". If there is fertilizer damage, you should immediately fill the basin, dilute the fertilizer concentration or wash the fertilizer away. If necessary, dig up the bamboo to clean the roots.

2. Watering: when transplanting, the soil moisture should not be too much, but we should pay attention to spraying water to the leaves. When the bamboo is short of water, the leaves will curl slightly. At this time, the leaves should be watered in time. After the water is replenished, the leaves will stretch quickly. Pay attention to replenishing water in hot weather in summer and watering less in winter to prevent icing in the basin.

3. Ventilation: bamboo planted in the courtyard should be placed on a ventilated wall that can be exposed to sunlight; if it is a potted plant, it should be placed by the window so that it can be exposed to sunlight and ventilated at the same time.

Common diseases of bamboo and their control

1. Bamboo shoot rot. Control methods: do not select vegetables, pine, fir land as nursery land, base fertilizer should be mature. Seedlings were raised with 2-year-old strong bamboo knots. Bamboo shoots with rotten leaf tips and shoot tips should be cut off from the base immediately. After emergence (or at the beginning of the disease), 50-fold liquid or potassium permanganate was sprayed once every 10 days until the bamboo seedlings grew healthily.

2.Phyllostachys pubescens tip blight. Prevention and control methods: remove the pathogen: combined with bamboo felling and hook tips, cut down the bamboo plants or shoots that have been infected with shoot blight, and burn the infected bamboos and schools in time. Don't use dead branches of diseased bamboo to make fences, etc. During the peak period of the disease from July to August, the investigation should be strengthened. It was found that the branches and leaves of Hsinchu were withered and yellow, and brown disease spots appeared on the nodes of bamboo culms. The bamboo shoots should be hooked at 1-2 nodes below the disease site in time, so as not to spread the disease and cause the whole plant to die. Spray it with 50% carbendazim wettable powder or 70% methyl topiramate wettable powder, 1000 times solution of 1VOR, or 1% Bordeaux solution, every 15 days from the time of leaf spreading in Hsinchu.

When culturing bamboo, we must pay attention to the proportion of soil, and then do a good job of light control. In the later stage of culture, we also need to strengthen water management, timely fertilization is also very important. If you find that the bamboo leaves are yellow, don't panic, find out the cause, and then solve the problem from the root.
