How to raise red rich bamboo

Rich bamboo does not have red, red rich bamboo refers to the plant Zhu Jiao. It is similar to the shape of Fugui bamboo, its leaves are red, it is called red Fugui bamboo. How to raise red rich bamboo?

First, how to raise red rich bamboo

1. Planting soil should be loose and fertile, good drainage, humus and slightly acidic, so we can mix rotten leaf soil, vegetable garden soil and sandy soil. In addition, it is best to add a small amount of fertilizer before loading the basin, so that the growth will be better in the later stage.

2. It is appropriate to change the pot and soil before a large number of new leaves grow in spring every year. Zhu Jiaoxi is warm and humid, the suitable temperature for growth is 20-25 ℃, and it should not be lower than 10 ℃ in winter. The growing season requires not only wet basin soil, but also high air humidity, otherwise the dry tip and edge of the leaves will be withered and yellow.

3. Zhu banana is more shady, it can be cultivated in indoor half-light place throughout the year, and it can also be preserved in outdoor shade in spring and autumn. In winter, move the flowerpot to a place with plenty of light indoors, reduce watering and stop fertilizing. Too strong or overcast environment will cause its leaves to yellowing and affect its growth.

4. The growing season should be well watered. In the dry season and hot summer, in addition to watering every day, water should be sprayed on the leaves 1-2 times, so that the leaves can appear moist and beautiful. If the basin soil is too wet at low temperature, the root system will rot, so it should be watered less in autumn and winter.

5. During the peak growth period, thin fertilizer and water or compound flower fertilizer should be applied every half a month. Otherwise, the old leaves will fall off and the new leaves will become smaller.

6. Anthracnose and leaf spot disease are the main hazards in the growth process of Zhu banana, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of acetic acid solution. Sometimes the leaves are damaged by scale insects, which are sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate EC.

How does Zhu Jiao reproduce?

1. Sowing: the fruit of Zhu Jiao ripens in late summer and early autumn. The seeds are large and should be harvested after the berries are ripe, washed and dried. Put the old pot soil into a wooden box or flowerpot for on demand, keep it at room temperature above 24 ℃, and sprout and unearth in about 15 days. When the seedlings grow to about 5 cm, move into the small flowerpot, 1 plant per pot, continue to cultivate.

2. Cuttage: cut the stem into cuttings of about 10 cm and cut off all the leaves. With plain sand as the substrate, the cuttings are about 6 cm deep. It takes 40-60 days to take root, and the dormant buds on the stem also grow in the shade at the same time, and can be transplanted when the new branch grows to about 5 cm.

3. Lamination: high-altitude crimping is commonly used from May to June. Select the strong main stem, 20 cm from the top, peel it in a ring, 1 cm wide, cover the moist moss and wrap it with plastic film, keep it at room temperature for more than 20 ℃, root after about 40 days, and cut off the pot plant after 60 days.

Zhu Jiao is known as the red rich bamboo, which is beautiful in appearance and elegant in color, so it is very suitable for interior decoration.
