Breeding method of Bambusa occidentalis

1. Plant division: The plant division and propagation of Phyllostachys occidentalis can be carried out in early spring combined with pot change. When dividing plants, the over-dense plant clusters will be poured out from the pot, cut open with a knife from the rhizome, and put on the pot separately. Be careful not to hurt the roots. When cutting, at least let each shoot bud have an old bamboo, and try to retain the fibrous root, in order to ensure survival. The newly divided plants should be planted in pots of moderate size, cultivated with fertile soil, irrigated, kept moist, and maintained in semi-shade. The shoots will grow rapidly.

2. Sowing: The sowing and reproduction of Phyllostachys aurea should be carried out in April to May, and warm water should be soaked for 1 to 2 days before sowing. It can germinate about 40 days after sowing. Seedling growth is very slow, about half a year later can be transplanted culture.

How to raise potted Phoenix tail bamboo?

1, soil: Phoenix tail bamboo likes acidic, slightly acidic or neutral soil, pH 4.5 to 7.0 is appropriate, avoid sticky heavy, alkaline soil. North soil alkaline strong, can add 0.2% ferrous sulfate. The soil had better be loose fertile, good drainage sandy loam, usable farmland soil mixes red yellow loam, humus soil and fine sand.

2. Temperature: Phoenix tail bamboo is an evergreen shrub, which likes warm, humid and semi-shady environment. Cold-resistant slightly poor, not resistant to strong light exposure, afraid of waterlogging, appropriate fertile, loose and well-drained loam. Winter temperatures are no lower than 0 degrees.

3, light: Phoenix tail bamboo likes light, slightly tolerant of shade, like warm and humid climate. Likes humidity and warmth. Likes semi-ventilation and shade. In winter, you should move indoors to a sunny place. Phoenix tail bamboo likes sunny high cool place, there is "sunny is luxuriant, suitable for planting high platform" said, spring, summer, autumn three seasons only need to be placed in the window ventilation place, winter placed in the sunny place, can grow well.

4. Moisture: Phoenix tail bamboo likes wet and is afraid of accumulated water. After loading the basin, the water should be poured thoroughly for the first time. After that, keep the basin soil moist. Do not water too much, otherwise it will be easy to rot the roots. From the pot to the survival stage, water should be sprayed frequently to the leaves. If the pot soil is short of water, the bamboo leaves will curl. At this time, water should be poured in time, and the bamboo leaves will unfold again. Watering once every 1 to 2 days on average in summer and less in winter, but keep the pot soil moist to prevent "dry freezing".

5. Fertilizer: The fertilizer of Phoenix tail bamboo is mainly organic fertilizer, and the animal manure, garbage fertilizer and river mud can be decomposed. Organic fertilizer is mainly used as base fertilizer, mixed into the pot soil, and the dosage is generally 10% to 15% of the pot soil. During the growth period, thin nitrogen fertilizer can be applied once or twice a month.

What about yellow leaves?

1. Sunshine irradiation: Phoenix tail bamboo likes semi-shade environment. If the sunlight is too strong, it will accelerate the evaporation of water from Phoenix tail bamboo leaves, causing Phoenix tail bamboo leaves to wither. However, if the phoenix tail bamboo is placed in a shady environment, there will be no light for a long time, which will cause the phoenix tail bamboo to lack chlorophyll, causing the leaves to yellow or even fall off. The window is half-shady with sufficient light, no strong direct sunlight, and good ventilation conditions. Therefore, the phoenix tail bamboo should be moved to the half-shady place. Under normal circumstances, in spring and autumn summer, Phoenix tail bamboo placed in the window ventilation, in winter can be placed in the sun.

2, lack of nutrition: if the lack of nutrition in the growth process of Phoenix tail bamboo, especially the lack of fertilizer implementation, will also lead to tender leaves yellow lighter, at this time, you can properly fertilize and water. The lack of phosphorus fertilizer in the soil or excessive fertilization will cause the leaves of Phoenix tail bamboo to wither, and the lack of phosphorus fertilizer can be supplemented.

3. Long-term defertilization: long-term no ammonia fertilizer application or no pot change, lack of nitrogen and other nutrients in the soil, resulting in thin branches and leaves, thin and yellow leaves. Need to pour pot in time, change into new loose fertile culture soil gradually increase the application of thin decomposed liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer. Over fertilization. Fertilization too much will appear new leaves hypertrophy, and more uneven, old leaves dry tip yellow fall off, should immediately stop fertilization, increase watering, so that fertilizer from the bottom of the drain hole out, or immediately pour the pot, wash the soil with water and then re-planted into the pot.

4. Moisture: Phoenix tail bamboo is short of water, the edge or tip of the leaves will appear dry and yellow, and even fall off. At this time, it is necessary to water Phoenix tail bamboo in time, but watering should not be too much. It can be watered thoroughly once to keep the pot soil moist, which will cause rotten roots and yellow leaves. It is necessary to loosen the soil and dry the water. If the leaves are yellow, especially if the young leaves are relatively small and no longer grow upwards, it means that there is too much water in the soil. At this time, it is necessary to dry the soil after loosening the soil. If the leaf edge or leaf tip is dry and yellow, or even the leaves fall off, it indicates that the soil is short of water and needs to be watered in time.

5. Disease and pest damage: leaf spot disease caused by fungi and other pathogens, easy to cause local necrosis of leaves, yellow spots or patches, serious whole leaves yellow and fall off, yellow and green mosaic mottled leaves after infection by mosaic virus, suffering from scale insects, red spiders, etc., leaves will also become local yellow and withered, even whole leaves yellow and fall off. All should be timely spraying control.
