The maintenance of Buddha belly bamboo bonsai mainly pays attention to its environmental control, watering master, plastic skills and other contents:

(1)Environment.

The newly planted Buddha belly bamboo bonsai, after watering, placed in the shade for about 10 days, and then placed in a semi-shady and semi-sunny place for 5 days, and then placed in a sunny, ventilated, warm and humid environment for careful maintenance. Because the pot is shallow and the soil is small, it is easy to damage the roots in the sun in summer, so it is necessary to properly shade. At the end of autumn and early winter, when the minimum temperature drops to about 5℃ at night, it should be moved indoors, and the room temperature should be kept at about 8℃. The room temperature is too high to grow in the coming year. In the south, as long as the pot buried in the sun leeward soil, you can safely winter.

(2)Watering.

Buddha belly bamboo likes moisture, often watering, keep the soil moist, but the basin can not accumulate water. Summer is its growth period, high temperature, morning and evening should be watered once. After winter moves into the room, foliar dust is much, want to appropriate to foliar spray water, make blade maintains verdant beautiful.

If the nodes are short and big, although they affect the shape, they should be kept and replanted in September. If the new bamboos are thin and long, they should be cut off in time.

(5)Pest control.

How to raise the Buddha belly bamboo section short belly big, especially good-looking?

1. Cut off autumn buds

The budding occurs twice a year, the first time in early summer and the second time in early autumn. Under the condition of proper maintenance, the new bamboo nodes growing in early summer are short and big, while the new bamboo nodes sprouting in early autumn are long and thin, so it is appropriate to cut them off.

2, apply alum fertilizer

Bamboo buddha originated in the south, like weak acid soil, but the northern soil is weak alkaline. Therefore, alum fertilizer should be applied several times to make the soil weakly acidic.

3. Control watering

Control watering when bamboo shoots are exposed to the pot soil to keep the pot soil dry. When the bamboo leaves are in a state of water shortage, put the bamboo in a cool place for a while, spray water on the leaves, irrigate the water after 1 hour, and maintain it in a sunny place for 5-6 days the next day. Repeat this for many times. When the new bamboo grows to the ideal height, resume normal watering.

4, pointed at the right time

When the new bamboo grows to about 80% of the ideal height, cut off the top of the bamboo shoot by 5 - 8 cm to promote the growth of lateral branches. After the first sharpening, the lateral branches grow quickly, and the second sharpening should be carried out. According to the height requirement of the whole plant type, cut off the upper part at 2 or 4 nodes to promote the growth of secondary branches.

5. Remove the bamboo shoots

Bamboo shoots have a thin skin on the outside of each node, which is called bamboo sheath. When the shoot grows to a certain height, one or two of the sheaths at the base of the shoot can be peeled off, and one more can be peeled after 7-10 days.
