Methods and matters needing attention of family hydroponic culture of lotus bamboo

Culture method

1. Before entering, the blade at the base of the cuttings should be cut off, and the base should be cut into an oblique mouth with a sharp knife, and the incision should be smooth to facilitate the absorption of water and nutrients. Change the water every 3-4 days, do not move or change direction within 10 days, about 15 days can grow silver-white fibrous root.

2. it is not suitable to change water after rooting, and water can be added in time only after the evaporation of water is reduced. Often changing water is easy to cause yellow leaves and branches to wilt.

3. If a small amount of compound fertilizer should be applied in time after rooting, the leaves will be green and the branches will be stout. If there is no fertilization for a long time, the plant growth is thin and the leaf color is easy to yellowing. However, fertilization can not be too much, so as not to cause "burning roots" or cause overgrowth. Compound fertilizer can be applied once a month in spring and autumn.

Matters needing attention

1. Temperature control

It is necessary to grasp the temperature of indoor lotus bamboo water culture, because lotus bamboo tends to be warm, moderate at 16 degrees to 25 degrees, not suitable for breeding in cold places, and anti-freezing measures should be taken.

2. Lighting and ventilation treatment

To make the lotus bamboo have enough lighting time, even if it is cultivated indoors, it should be properly exposed to the sun and placed in a ventilated and well-lit place.

3. Fertilize the lotus bamboo.

When some flower friends went to buy lotus bamboo, the seller said that they only needed clear water to raise it, but did not apply fertilizer, and later the leaves turned yellow. In fact, water culture of lotus bamboo also needs fertilization. According to the actual situation, fertilizer can be applied every 30 days on average, moderate fertilization can keep the leaves green and stretched for a long time, or add an appropriate amount of culture medium.

Does the lotus bamboo bloom?

Lotus bamboo is a species of dragon blood tree of Liliaceae. Lotus bamboo is suitable for water culture, pot culture and water culture. High ornamental value, it is one of the few greening and decorations that can be placed indoors for a long time. It is a plant that does not blossom.

What if the lotus bamboo leaves turn yellow?

1. Burning yellow: the strong sunlight shines directly on the lotus bamboo, which is easy to cause the withering of the leaf tip and leaf edge, and the yellow spot appears in the sunny part of the leaf. Just move to the shade.

2. Lack of light and yellow: put in a shady environment for a long time, the leaves can not get enough sunlight, can not form chlorophyll, the whole leaves turn yellow and then fall off, supplementary light can avoid the disease.

3. Fat yellow: the lotus bamboo yellowing caused by too much fertilizer or too much concentration, showing dry brown at the tip of the new leaves, generally the leaves are thick and without luster, and the concave and convex leaves are not stretched, and the old leaves are scorched yellow and fall off. Fertilizer should be stopped immediately and some fertilizers should be washed with a large amount of washing.

4. lack of fat yellow: the color of the young leaves becomes light, yellow or light green, while the old leaves are more normal or gradually change from green to yellow. Usually apply thin fertilizer frequently and add some alum water at the right time. (Lotus bamboo is a foliage plant, which should be fertilized mainly with nitrogen fertilizer.)

Although lotus bamboo has tenacious vitality and strong adaptability, improper nursing is also prone to problems. Yellowing of leaves is one of its common problems. It is divided into burning yellow, lack of light yellow, fat yellow, lack of fat yellow. We should observe carefully to see what kind of reason it belongs to, prescribe the right medicine to the case, so that we can grow well.
