How can rich bamboo grow greener leaves? What is the key to hydroponics?

Rich bamboo is a very easy to take care of indoor plants, easy to grow, can tolerate low light environment, but easy to yellow leaves or rotten roots, how to solve this?

First, choose and buy suitable plants

1. Select plants with dark green stems and emerald green leaves.

If the stems or leaves turn yellow or brown, it means that the rich bamboo is unhealthy. It may be adapted to the environment after long-distance transportation.

Some rich bamboo will be woven into a variety of curly or more complex shapes, the more complex the more expensive, thousands of yuan to a few yuan, choose dark green stems, green leaves of the plant can.

2. Choose hydroponics or soil culture.

Hydroponic culture is the simplest, there are containers and water, it is best to put some ceramsite or stone fixed; soil culture should choose basin soil with good drainage, in order to ensure drainage, it is necessary to put a layer of gravel or ceramsite on the bottom of the basin.

3. Use a suitable container

Hydroponic rich bamboo should choose up to the container, shallow pot is not suitable for hydroponic culture, because the plant needs to be fixed.

Choosing a transparent container allows you to see the growth of hydroponics more clearly, and you can put stones at the bottom to fix and decorate plants.

For soil culture, you should choose containers with enough drainage holes, rather than flowerpots without drainage holes.

4. Put it in the right position

Hydroponic or soil-cultivated rich bamboo grows best in bright light, it is best to have a little scattered light, avoid direct sunlight, the leaves are easy to scorch, keep it away from the air conditioner. The favorite temperature of Fugui bamboo is between 16 and 30 degrees.

If you do not turn the basin for a long time, it will grow toward the sunny side and need to rotate the basin every 1 to 2 times.

How to make the leaves greener?

1. Keep the rich bamboo in a warm place with scattered light to avoid freezing. It is easy to turn yellow leaves below 15 degrees.

Rich bamboo likes the environment with plenty of light, if it is too dark, it needs fluorescent lights to make up the light, keep the environment ventilated, and the airtight small space is not conducive to growth.

2. Pay attention to hydroponics

The newly hydroponically cultivated rich bamboo has not yet taken root, so the water should be changed every 3 to 5 days. What kind of water do you use? Of course, it is best not to use tap water directly and leave it for 2 to 3 days. Tap water contains chemicals such as fluorine and chlorine.

After the rich bamboo grows roots, there is no need to change the water, wait until the water is turbid or there is something wrong with the roots.

3. Proper watering

Soil-cultivated rich bamboo needs to be properly watered to keep the soil moist but not humid. if it is too wet, it is easy to get root rot. If the soil is still moist, but the air is dry, spray water on the leaves. (hydroponics also need to spray water)

4. Give appropriate fertilizer every month

After three months of soil cultivation, you can properly supplement fertilizer and give thin organic fertilizer every month to make plants grow better, preferably with liquid fertilizer. (thin fertilizer is applied diligently)

Third, what about the rich bamboo with yellow leaves and rotten roots?

1. Plant leaves are burned or yellowed

The leaves are dry or yellow, if they are not sunburned, then the air is dry, spray water properly and cut off the dead leaves.

If hydroponics use tap water for a long time, it will also make the leaves sunburn. This is more difficult to deal with. You can change water. Water can be replaced by Rain Water, well water or pure water.

2. Pruning plants

With the growth of rich bamboo, it grows a lot of small buds, at this time need proper pruning to grow more robust, the main stem should not be cut, the lower buds can be cut off properly.

3. Pay attention to the color of leaves and roots

The problem of rich bamboo can be judged by the color of the leaves. If it is dry yellow, it is lack of water and sunburn; if it is light yellow, it is too much water or too little light, and it may also be root rot.

If the leaves turn brown, try spraying water on the plant and spray some water around it.

If there are mushy leaves, it is terminally ill and needs to be cut off, dry the wound in water culture, and change the water again.

If the root system is rotten, cut the rotten root, clean the dead root, rinse clean, soak in potassium permanganate solution, rinse and then hydroponic culture.
