What about the yellowing of bamboo leaves? how to fertilize bamboo?

Orchid, plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum are called four gentlemen in China, among which bamboo is loved by the public and has a unique reputation. Bamboo branches are tall and straight, with green leaves, with a noble character of unyielding, not afraid of intimidation and inducement, so many people will raise a pot of bamboo at home. However, recently, many people have reported that bamboo is prone to yellowing leaves in the process of conservation.

What if the bamboo leaves turn yellow?

1. Water management

Bamboo likes a wet environment but is afraid of stagnant water. too much watering will cause the roots to be unable to breathe, which may lead to rotten roots and yellowing leaves.

Measures: 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, we should water them 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.

2. Fertilizer management

Bamboo leaves are likely to turn yellow due to poor nutrition or too much fertilizer.

Measures: pay attention to mixing base fertilizer into the soil when transplanting, pay attention to topdressing after bamboo seedlings, and apply compound fertilizer to maintain nutrition supply in spring and summer in line with the principle of "frequent application of thin fertilizer". If it is fertilizer damage, it should be irrigated immediately, dilute the fertilizer concentration or wash the fertilizer away, and if necessary, dig out the bamboo to wash the roots.

3. Poor ventilation

The distance between bamboo is too close, or put bamboo in a poorly ventilated area, resulting in high carbon dioxide concentration around bamboo, low photosynthetic efficiency, will also cause bamboo leaves to turn yellow.

Measures: bamboo planted in the courtyard should be placed on a wall that is ventilated and 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.

4. Insect pests

If the bamboo is attacked by the red spider, it is easy to cause the leaves to turn yellow, the red spider mouthparts pierce and suck the juice into the leaves, resulting in the destruction of chlorophyll, the leaves show gray-yellow spots or patches, and finally lead to the withered yellow or even shedding of the leaves.

Measures: usually check the leaves, especially the back of the leaves, once red spiders are found, remove them in time; if they have been propagated in large numbers, you can spray dimethoate pesticides to kill pests.

How to fertilize bamboo

First, fertilization skills

1. When planting bamboo, you should use acidic or neutral soil. The soil had better contain some sand, and farmland soil can also be used. As soon as you plant it in the pot, you can put in some organic fertilizer.

2. Potted bamboo likes water, but people often don't notice it. Why? Bamboo is full of vitality, so when fertilizing and watering, it can be a little larger, so that they can grow better.

3. The fertilization time of potted bamboo can be set at once a month, which is relatively the best for bamboo.

II. Fertilizer selection

1. Potted bamboo uses organic fertilizer as much as possible, which contains a lot of potassium and calcium, and the growth of bamboo depends on it. In addition to being better for bamboo itself, it can also reduce pollution, so why not do it?

2. Lack of fertilizer or excessive fertilization in the process of growth will cause disease, so we should pay attention to the application of basic fertilizer. Because the nutrition of potted plants is limited, the fertilizer should be thin in spring and summer, and the number of times can be a little bit more frequent, constantly replenishing potted soil nutrients.

3. Potted bamboo must use organic fertilizer.

How to grow bamboo indoors

1. Time

The best time for transplanting or potting bamboo is in early spring or August or September in autumn.

2. Process

The soil at the root of the young plant must be preserved when transplanting, and the whip stem of bamboo can also be dug out from the soil for planting. If transplanting is carried out in early spring, it will sprout in April. When transplanting, we should not only pay attention to preserving the soil of the roots, but also pay attention to fertilization, it is best to use dried chicken manure as base fertilizer, watering should be carried out after planting is completed, and bamboo should be put in a cool place.

When growing to winter, it is necessary to add some soil and base fertilizer to the roots of bamboo, so as to make the plant more nutritious, grow better, and promote the growth and renewal of bamboo.

Propagation methods of Bamboo

1. Buried whip

The main method is to select the whip of healthy bamboo, retain the whip root, retain more soil at the root, cut the bamboo whip into bamboo segments half a meter long, bury them flat on the seedbed, cover them with a thin layer of soil, and properly water them to keep the soil moist. After burying the whip, pay attention to watering in the dry weather and drainage in the rainy period. Proper fertilization and weeding should be carried out after emergence.

2. Burying branches

Burying branches is mainly used for tufted bamboo, the main method is to select strong bamboo, cut it into segments, put the cut bamboo in clear water, seal it with clay after the bamboo pole is soaked with water, and bury the bamboo pole incision upward in the seedling soil. keep the soil moist. Buried joint

This method is also suitable for tufted bamboo. The main method is to saw the bamboo pole every two sections, then bury it in the seedling soil, cover it with soil, and water it.

3. Raising seedlings with lateral branches

It is suitable for tufted bamboo. The main method is to cut off the side branch from the robust master, spray it with water and moisturize it, and wait for the side branch to sprout and cut it.

If you can plant a bamboo forest or potted bamboo at home is a very good choice, symbolizing that you are different from those who pursue fame and wealth. It is not very difficult to grow bamboo, so you can fully understand its growth habits.
