I have pots of Phoenix tail bamboo in my house. They are not tall, they are prosperous, and their leaves are very green.

Chinese people like bamboo is a thing with a long history, otherwise, bamboo would not have become one of the three friends. The impression of bamboo is often a tall bamboo forest, farmers' uncles painstakingly cut bamboo, transport bamboo, and so on.

In particular, many people have planted a mini version of bamboo at home. This kind of bamboo is called Phoenix tail bamboo. Today, Huahua will introduce to you how to raise Phoenix tail bamboo at home.

1. Soil

Phyllostachys pubescens is a plant that likes acidic soil, so you can choose acidic or slightly acidic soil when breeding, and neutral soil is also possible. Generally speaking, we can prepare the soil by ourselves, so that we can take into account both the permeability and fertility of the soil. You can choose to use rotten leaf soil, garden soil and river sand in the same proportion.

two。 Watering

Phyllostachys pubescens prefers a humid environment. On weekdays, when we breed it, we can often observe it, and every time we water it, we can make sure the soil is moist. Phoenix tail bamboo is afraid of waterlogging, so watering should be appropriate. Only when the summer temperature is higher and evaporation is faster, can you increase the amount of water, otherwise there will be a big problem.

Huahua teaches you a little trick: when watering, you can observe the leaves of Phyllostachys pubescens. When the leaves of Phyllostachys pubescens roll up slightly, this is the best time to water, and watering must be thoroughly. Usually do not pour too much water to the Phoenix tail bamboo, but you can spray the leaves with a small spray to ensure the wettability of the leaves and clean the leaves.

3. Light

Phoenix tail bamboo is a kind of plant that likes light. Generally speaking, we can put it in the place of indoor astigmatism. But after all, the indoor is indoor, there must be places where the light is out of reach, and the Phoenix tail bamboo will grow too long if it is not exposed to the sun for a long time. We can move the Phoenix tail bamboo outdoors to bask in the sun every once in a while, and only when we get enough sun can we thrive!

4. Fertilizer application

Generally speaking, during the growth period, some fertilizer is applied to ensure the nutrients needed by Phyllostachys pubescens. We can apply liquid fertilizer to Phyllostachys pubescens every 20 days. We can use bean cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer. Like other plants, Phyllostachys pubescens is dormant in winter and is not suitable for fertilization, so it is best not to apply fertilizer in winter.

5. Selection of basin

Phoenix tail bamboo is a shallow root plant, so when we choose a flowerpot for bamboo at the beginning, it is best to choose a shallow pot, not a deep pot, which is not conducive to the growth of bamboo, nor is it conducive to mastering the amount of plant watering, which may suffocate the bamboo.

The breeding methods of Phyllostachys pubescens are basically these. I hope this article will be helpful to those who like it.
