Propagation of Phyllostachys pubescens

The propagation of Phyllostachys pubescens can be divided into plant division, seed propagation and cutting propagation. However, because it is difficult for bamboo to get seeds and it is difficult to root by cutting, Phyllostachys pubescens is mainly propagated by ramets.

Ramet propagation of Phyllostachys pubescens

Ramet propagation is carried out from February to March in spring, combined with changing pots. Pour the overdense bushes out of the basin, cut the rhizome of the plant with a knife, and pot it separately, while avoiding damage to the roots. When slicing, each shoot bud should bring at least one old bamboo, and at the same time, the fibrous root should be preserved as much as possible to ensure the survival of Phoenix tail bamboo. Plant the newly divided plants in a suitable pot, cultivate fertile soil, keep them moist, and place them in a semi-shady place, the bamboo shoots will grow rapidly.

Seed Propagation of Phyllostachys pubescens

It is suitable to be carried out from April to May, and the seeds are soaked in warm water for 1-2 days before sowing. It can sprout about 40 days after sowing. The seedlings grow slowly and can not be transplanted and cultured until about half a year later.

Cutting Propagation of Phyllostachys pubescens

Phyllostachys pubescens is inconvenient to be buried horizontally, and vertical cuttings are usually used for propagation.

It is better to cuttage in March-April or July-August. The substrate for cutting should be mountain mud or pure sand, the thickness of the cuttings is about 15 cm, coarse grains are used at the bottom and smaller grains are needed at the top, which is more conducive to water seepage and easy to control the water content of the substrate. The stem of the cuttings was cut from the 2023-year-old Phoenix tail bamboo, and each cuttage took a single node or 2-3 nodes as needed. The space below the bottom stem node is 2 to 2.5 cm in order to be buried in the soil. The upper stem node needs to be empty by 1 cm, which is to prevent the loss of water from the stem node. When cutting, the 2.5 cm empty part of the bottom of the stem needs to be inserted into the soil, and the bottom stem node should also be inserted into the soil 1 cm. The insertion of stem nodes should be moderate, too deep or too shallow is not convenient to manage. After the cuttage is finished, be sure to increase the air humidity around the cutter, spray the Phoenix tail bamboo 6 or 7 times a day, and keep the air humidity at 85%.

In addition, it is also necessary to cover 9/10 to 8/10 of the light to reduce its water consumption. At a suitable temperature, it can take root in 25-30 days.

3. Cutting propagation methods of Phyllostachys pubescens.

Phyllostachys pubescens is inconvenient to be buried horizontally, and vertical cuttings are usually used for propagation.

It is better to cuttage in March-April or July-August. The substrate for cutting should be mountain mud or pure sand, the thickness of the cuttings is about 15 cm, coarse grains are used at the bottom and smaller grains are needed at the top, which is more conducive to water seepage and easy to control the water content of the substrate. The stem of the cuttings was cut from the 2023-year-old Phoenix tail bamboo, and each cuttage took a single node or 2-3 nodes as needed. The space below the bottom stem node is 2 to 2.5 cm in order to be buried in the soil. The upper stem node needs to be empty by 1 cm, which is to prevent the loss of water from the stem node. When cutting, the 2.5 cm empty part of the bottom of the stem needs to be inserted into the soil, and the bottom stem node should also be inserted into the soil 1 cm. The insertion of stem nodes should be moderate, too deep or too shallow is not convenient to manage. After the cuttage is finished, be sure to increase the air humidity around the cutter, spray the Phoenix tail bamboo 6 or 7 times a day, and keep the air humidity at 85%.

In addition, it is also necessary to cover 9/10 to 8/10 of the light to reduce its water consumption. At a suitable temperature, it can take root in 25-30 days.

The above is the introduction of the propagation methods of Phyllostachys pubescens. The reproduction of Phyllostachys pubescens can be divided into plant propagation, seed propagation and cutting propagation. However, because it is difficult for bamboo to get seeds and it is difficult to root by cutting, the propagation of Phyllostachys pubescens mainly adopts the method of ramet propagation.

The breeding of Phyllostachys pubescens, also known as Phyllostachys pubescens, is native to southern China. Like warm, humid and semi-shady environment, cold tolerance is poor, not resistant to strong light exposure, afraid of waterlogging, suitable for fertile, loose and well-drained loam, winter temperature is not lower than 0 ℃. Phyllostachys pubescens has dense clusters of plants, short stems and beautiful branches and leaves, which are often used for potted plants, decorating small courtyards and rooms, and also for making bonsai or as a low hedge material. Phyllostachys pubescens can be propagated by ramet, seed and cuttage. However, because it is difficult for bamboo to get seeds and it is difficult to root by cuttings, ramet is the main method of propagation. Ramet propagation can be carried out in early spring (February-March) combined with changing pots. When ramets, the overgrown clumps of plants are poured out of the basin, cut with a knife from the rhizome, and put on the basin. Be careful not to hurt the roots. When slicing, at least let each shoot bud with an old bamboo, and try to retain the fibrous root, in order to ensure survival. The new plants should be planted in a medium-sized basin, cultivate fertile soil, pay attention to irrigation, keep moist, and keep them in a semi-shady place, and the bamboo shoots will grow rapidly. Seed propagation should be carried out from April to May, and seeds should be soaked in warm water for 2 days before sowing. It can germinate about 40 days after sowing. The seedlings grow very slowly and can not be transplanted until about half a year later. Cutting propagation of Phyllostachys pubescens generally adopts vertical cutting propagation, but it is not convenient to use horizontal burying method. The cutting time is better from March to April in spring or from July to August in summer. Clean sand or mud is used in the matrix, the thickness of the cuttings is about 15 cm, coarse grains are used at the bottom and smaller grains are used at the top, so as to facilitate water seepage and easy to control the water content of the substrate. Cuttings cut the stems of 2023-year-old Phyllostachys pubescens, and take single or 2-3 nodes for each cuttage as needed. The space below the bottom stem node is 2-2.5 cm, which is used for burying it into the soil. The upper stem node is 1 cm empty to prevent the loss of water from the stem node. When cutting, the 2.5 cm stem at the bottom of the stem is inserted into the soil, and the stem node at the bottom is also inserted into the soil by 1 cm. It is difficult to manage the insertion of stem nodes too deep or too shallow. The rooting site of Phyllostachys pubescens is in the stem node, and it is easy to deteriorate if it is inserted too deep into the soil, and it is not conducive to maintain humidity if it is inserted too shallow into the soil. After cutting, you must ensure the increase of air humidity around the cutter, spray 6-7 times a day, keep the air humidity at 85%, and cover 9/10 to 8/10 of the light at the same time, so as to reduce water consumption and facilitate rooting. Under the condition of suitable temperature, it can take root in 25-30 days.
