The latest culture methods and matters needing attention of hanging bamboo plum

Hanging bamboo plum is also called hanging bamboo orchid, spotted leaf duckweed, flower leaf bamboo clip vegetable and so on. It is an evergreen herb of the family Caryophyllaceae. It is planted and propagated very quickly in South China. Not only gardens, campuses, government green spaces, residential areas can be seen everywhere, some of them have grown into wild and semi-wild states, and are often used for cultivation and ornamental. Let's take a look at the breeding methods and matters needing attention of hanging bamboo plum.

Growth habits of Prunus mume

The place of origin of Diaozhu plum is mostly creeping on the wet ground for fear of sun exposure. Can endure the low temperature of 8 ℃, not cold-resistant, afraid of heat, more than 14 ℃ can grow normally. High air humidity is required, and the leaves are often dry-pointed and scorched in dry air. It is not resistant to drought but resistant to water and moisture, and the requirement of soil acidity and alkalinity is not strict.

The Propagation method of Prunus mume

Dianzhu plum is usually propagated by cuttings, and several robust stems can be picked and inserted in wet sand to survive. The optimum temperature for rooting of cuttings is 18-25 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 18 ℃, it is difficult for cuttings to take root and grow very slowly. However, when the cuttings are higher than 25 ℃, the cuttings are susceptible to bacterial infection and rot, so we should pay attention to it. At the same time, the relative humidity of the air must be kept at 75-85% after cutting, and sprayed 1-3 times a day to increase humidity, but excessive spraying can easily cause cuttings to be infected by bacteria and rot, so it is necessary to prevent over-care.

Culture method of Diaozhu Mei

1. Soil: the requirement of Diaozhumei on soil is not high, but it grows better in fertile and loose soil, so it is suitable to choose rotten leaf soil, 40% garden soil and 20% river sand.

2. Sunshine: Diaozhumei is afraid of strong light, so it needs to be maintained in a semi-shaded place, or give it 70% shade, and keep it indoors in a place with bright light as far as possible.

3. Temperature: the optimum growth temperature of Phyllostachys pubescens is 18: 30 ℃, avoid cold frost, the overwintering temperature is more than 10 ℃, the air temperature is below 4 ℃, and will die of frostbite when the temperature is close to 0 ℃.

4. Fertilization: Dianzhu plum requires more fertilizer and water, but it is most afraid of random fertilization, concentrated fertilizer and partial application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash fertilizer. It is required to follow the principle of "frequent application of light fertilizer, less amount and more times, and complete nutrition".

5. Pruning: if the plant has been cultivated for too long, the basal leaves often fall off, which affects the ornamental. At this time, the overlong branches and leaves should be cut off to promote the new buds at the base of the stem to sprout and grow new branches and leaves.

Matters needing attention of hanging bamboo plum

1. Hanging bamboo plum should be cultured indoors near the south window in spring and autumn, such as lack of long-term light, easy growth of stems and leaves, longer internodes, little or no flowering.

2. Hanging bamboo plum requires high air humidity. If the air is dry, the leaves are often dry and the leaf tips are scorched, so attention should be paid to spraying water on the stems and leaves in the growing season to maintain air humidity.

3. In order to keep the branches and leaves plump, when the stem grows to about 20cm to 30cm, it should be heart-picked to promote the branches, otherwise the branches will grow slender and affect the ornamental effect.

4. Phyllostachys pubescens can survive the winter safely when the room temperature is more than 5 ℃. During the overwintering period, the plant is dormant and needs less water. If it is watered too much, it is easy to cause rotten roots and yellow leaves.

5. When raising bamboo plums, we should pay attention to regular light to prevent the stems and leaves from growing, do not shine directly in the hot sun in summer, and do not pour water before pruning the new stems.
