Lily bamboo is a common potted plant at home, because the leaf shape is unique, so many people like it very much, but if you want to make it more beautiful, pruning is a necessary means, but pruning is not just a casual pruning. This is fastidious and skillful, let's take a look at its pruning method.

How to prune the branches and leaves of lily bamboo

The main results are as follows: 1. Pruning the lily bamboo which is growing well for more than one year is to adjust the flower pattern, cut off the diseased and weak branches, increase the tiller, produce more branches, manage the growth and make the crown more beautiful. Two weeks before the decision to prune, the basin soil should be fertilized and watered normally.

2. Observe the whole crown and determine the branches to be pruned. The branch to be pruned here is the left one, because it is obviously worse than the other branches, the top branches and leaves are weak, and the growth has been slow in the past month, affecting the overall crown shape.

3. Cut the branch 6 to 8 centimeters away from the branch with scissors. After cutting, the knife edge is wound and sealed with adhesive tape in order to prevent water loss and reduce the damage to the plant.

4. The cut branches can be cultivated by water culture. The method is to put the cut branches in a container, fill them with water, and begin to change the water every two days. After the root buds are sent out, only add water and do not change water until the buds are strong and planted in the potted soil.

5. The plastic rope is used to fix and reshape the whole tree crown. This step can be designed according to the individual's favorite shape, as long as the plant is not hurt.

Propagation method of lily bamboo

1. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation can be carried out from March to May. The robust and mature branches of the same year are taken and cut to grow 8~10cm. The hard stem retains 3-4 buds and the shoots retain 3-4 leaves. The bed soil is unconsolidated sandy loam or peat soil with good drainage and disinfection. After insertion, cover with 80% sunshade net and water thoroughly.

After that, spray water once or twice a day, each time for 3-5 minutes, and take root in about 30-35 days. For example, 400 times of the rooting agent "Root Sun" and yellow mud are mixed into mud, and the cuttings are dipped in some mud. After treatment, the mud is dried and inserted into the seedling pond. When inserted into the seedling pond, you should first use a stick to insert the seedling, so as to prevent the yellow mud from breaking away from the cuttings and affecting rooting. It can take root about 20-25 after insertion.

2. Sowing and reproduction

Sowing and reproduction should be carried out in spring or summer. Before sowing, the soil and seeds should be strictly disinfected to prevent diseases and insect pests during the growing period. The soil should be disinfected with 70% thiophanate, and 90% trichlorfon should be used to kill the soil. Seeds can be sown as they are picked, or stored until spring and summer before sowing.

How to cultivate lily bamboo in water

1. Cut the bevel at the base

Before entering the vase, remove the leaves at the base of the cuttings and cut the base into an oblique edge with a sharp knife. The knife edge should be smooth to increase the absorption area of water and nutrients. Every 3 to 4 days, change the water, can put in a few pieces of charcoal antiseptic, do not move within 10 days and change direction, about 15 days can grow silver white fibrous root.

2. Change water to add water

Lily bamboo should not change water after taking root, and water can only be added in time after water evaporation. Often changing water is easy to cause yellow leaves and branches to wilt. The added water is best to use well water, tap water should be stored in utensils for a day, the water should be kept clean and fresh, do not use dirty water, hard water or mixed with oily water, otherwise it will easily rot roots.

3. Timely fertilization

Water-raised lily bamboo in order to prevent excessive growth, do not apply chemical fertilizer, it is best to inject a few drops of brandy into the bottle every 3 weeks or so, add a small amount of nutrient solution, or dissolve half a piece of aspirin or Vc into powder with 500g of water, add a few drops when adding water, that is, you can keep the leaves green (not after growing roots).

Matters needing attention in hydroponics

Avoid blowing: do not put lily bamboo next to the TV set or air conditioner, electric fan often blow to the place, so as not to dry up the leaf tip and leaf edge.

It turns out that lily bamboo can be cultivated not only in soil but also in water, and the way of hydroponic culture is relatively simple. the important thing is that hydroponic lily bamboo has another flavor, but when hydroponic lily bamboo is planted, we should pay special attention not to let it be blown by the wind, otherwise it will affect its growth, and the leaves will dry up and die.
