How to raise lotus leaf bamboo

Lotus leaf bamboo is a common family potted plant, which can not only purify the air, but also has high ornamental value. So, how to raise lotus leaf bamboo?

First, how to raise lotus leaf bamboo

1. Soil

Lotus leaf bamboo likes to be cultured in the environment of dampness, high temperature, waterlogging resistance, strong fertilizer resistance and cold resistance, and is suitable to grow in semi-muddy sand, alluvial clay and sandy soil with good drainage.

two。 Temperature

The suitable growth temperature is 20-28 ℃, which can withstand the low temperature of 2-3 ℃, but anti-freezing measures should be taken in winter, generally in the hot and humid season in summer and autumn, which is the best stage for the growth and development of Phyllostachys pubescens.

3. Light

Lotus leaf bamboo does not have a high demand for light, and it is suitable for breeding under bright scattered light. Excessive light and exposure will lead to yellowing of leaves, fading of green, slow growth and other phenomena, so when planting in the field, it is necessary to build a 1.7-1.8-meter-high sunshade. 75% is generally appropriate to create a scattered light, half-shaded and half-sunny environment.

Especially from April to September, it is necessary to avoid sun exposure or soil drought as far as possible, otherwise it is easy to cause rough leaves, dry, weak growth, lack of leaf luster and so on, so as to reduce the ornamental value.

4. Watering

In order to keep the soil moist during the growth period, we can often spray or water the leaves, which is beneficial to the growth of the lotus leaf bamboo. In case of heavy rain, the stagnant water in the field should be discharged in time to prevent lodging.

5. Anti-freezing

In winter, attention should be paid to anti-freezing measures. Generally, when the temperature is below 10 ℃, the leaves will begin to yellowing and withering. During this period, the soil should be kept semi-moist, and watering and fertilization can be reduced according to the soil conditions.

II. Matters needing attention in culturing lotus leaf bamboo

1. Water quality condition

After rooting, the lotus leaf bamboo can not change water, if there is a shortage of water, it is necessary to add water in time, it is best to choose well water, if the conditions do not permit, tap water can also be used, but it needs to be placed for about 2 days to add water. during the period, do not use oily and contaminated water, it is easy to make its roots rot.

two。 Fertilization conditions

Do not add chemical fertilizer when replenishing water, chemical fertilizer will make the lotus leaf bamboo grow, appear the phenomenon of leaf yellowing, so when adding water, you can add a few drops of nutrient solution, which is conducive to its growth and development.

3. Pruning condition

To control the degree of density, if the growth is too dense, it is easy to cause leaf death, too thin will affect its ornamental.

Lotus leaf bamboo for water and fertilizer, temperature, light and other requirements are relatively strict, so we need to pay more attention to breeding.
