Pruning method, pruning time / tools / methods / matters needing attention of tortoise back bamboo

The leaves of tortoise-backed bamboo grow very fast, and if the bracket is not built before planting, it is likely to cause it to grow distorted or the branches and leaves are too thick. What should we do at this time? Pruning is a better way. Today, we will learn more about the pruning method of tortoise back bamboo in terms of time and method.

The pruning method of tortoise back bamboo

Pruning the bamboo on the back of the tortoise has two advantages, the first is to make its shape more beautiful, and the second is to make its new branches and leaves grow healthier, because in the whole planting process, it is inevitable that the leaves will turn yellow. what if the leaves turn yellow? In addition to finding the reason to take corresponding measures, pruning it is also one of the necessary means. Here are the specific pruning methods of tortoise back bamboo.

First, the pruning time of the tortoise back bamboo

Some people may wait until the leaves of the tortoise back bamboo fall to the ground and cannot see its appearance before thinking of pruning it. This is very wrong. It is best to choose the time for pruning the tortoise back bamboo in spring every year, and once a year. Do not prune it frequently, otherwise it may affect its growth and development.

What tools are used for pruning the tortoise-backed bamboo

When trimming, the tools we use should be mainly sharp knives, not scissors, because the scissors will squeeze the wound in the process of shearing, which will cause the plant wound to be difficult to heal for a long time, so it is taboo in the pruning method of tortoise back bamboo.

Third, how to trim the tortoise back bamboo

1. Cutting off the top

Using props to cut off the branches that are too high at the top of the tortoise-backed bamboo can make the nutrition more evenly distributed in other places, making it more beautiful and thicker than before, but it is important to pay attention to the control growing too fast.

2. Plastic surgery

If the tortoise back bamboo is not supported at first, it may grow crooked after a period of time, then we need to reshape it. We can use props to cut off some of the distorted side buds, and then use rope or cloth strips to straighten the main stem. After a period of time, it will be able to return to its upright state.

3. Cut off the withered and yellow leaves

Sometimes the leaves will turn yellow with the natural growth, at this time we should cut off some withered or yellowed leaves, it not only affects the beauty, but also consumes nutrients, which is not good for the growth of the tortoise back bamboo, so it should be disposed of in time. This is a point that we should pay attention to in the pruning method of the tortoise back bamboo.

4. Change the basin and trim

We know that the bamboo basin for the tortoise should be changed once a year, and when changing the basin, we can also prune it, cut the main root a little, and then replant it in a new pot soil, so that it can grow better in the new environment.

Matters needing attention

Usually, the plant of the tortoise back bamboo will reach a growing point, so the pruning position does not include the main stem, but if its main stem is 3 cm thick and has a bud bag, then the main stem can be pruned properly.

Summary: in this paper, the pruning method of tortoise back bamboo is introduced in detail. in the process of pruning, attention should be paid to the selection of time, the selection of tools and the correct method. The principle is to make it more beautiful without affecting the normal growth of tortoise back bamboo.

How to trim the tortoise back bamboo and the pruning method of the tortoise back bamboo

Tortoise back bamboo, as one of the common indoor green plants, may grow too fast in the process of family breeding, thus affecting the overall aesthetic effect of tortoise back bamboo, so how to trim it? Next, let's introduce the pruning method of tortoise back bamboo.

How to trim the tortoise back bamboo

Stem node leaf growth is too dense, branches grow too fast, pay attention to pruning the whole plant, strive for natural beauty, 2-3 cm away from the base with a sharp blade can be cut off, do not use scissors, scissors will make the wound squeezed water immersion, not easy to heal the wound.

The pruning method of tortoise back bamboo

Some large foliage plants, such as rubber tree, Guanyin bamboo, cocoa coconut, tortoise back bamboo, goose palm wood and so on, are larger, if they are pruned frequently, they can promote plant growth and make them strong and beautiful. Topping can make the plant leaves dense, the plant shape symmetrical, prevent excessive growth; cut off the excess lateral buds, can make the plant upright and straight. In order not to let foliage plants grow arbitrarily and to determine an uncertain height, it is often necessary to cut off the terminal buds of stems or branches to inhibit growth and make them dwarf or clump. This is different from the general pruning principle of outdoor plants.

The pruning method of tortoise back bamboo what is the breeding method of tortoise back bamboo

Tortoise back bamboo is also known as Penglai banana, iron silk orchid, perforated happy forest taro, tortoise back banana, etc., native to the Mexican rainforest, sexual preference for warm, humid environment, avoid direct sunlight, not resistant to cold, so what are the pruning methods and breeding methods of tortoise back bamboo?

The pruning method of tortoise back bamboo:

Tortoise back bamboo stem node leaf growth is too dense, branches grow too fast, pay attention to pruning the whole plant, strive for natural beauty, 2-3 cm away from the base with a sharp blade can be cut off, do not use scissors, the cut will make the wound squeezed water immersion, not easy to heal the wound. Usually, tortoise back bamboo is not suitable for pruning, because there is only one growing point, unless there is a stem waiting for the main stem to grow to about three centimeters thick, and there is a bud bag on the stem, so it is possible to prune it, even if there are new branches, but the original one is gone. if you want to become a big basin, there is only one way to grow three or four trees in a basin.

The breeding method of tortoise-backed bamboo:

The main results are as follows: 1. Ramet propagation: in summer and autumn, the side branches of large tortoise-backed bamboos are split off in whole segments, with partial aerial roots, and directly planted in wooden buckets or bowls. Not only the survival rate is high, but also the shaping effect is fast. It is now the most commonly used in the breeding of tortoise-backed bamboo, and it is also one of the simplest methods.

2. Cutting propagation: stem-node cutting can be used in spring and autumn, and the cutting effect is the best in April-May in spring and September-October in autumn. Cuttings are suitable for stem node incision healing and rooting during this period of time, and survive quickly. Cuttings select lateral branches with abundant stem tissue and strong growth. The cuttings are 20-25 cm long and the leaves at the base are cut off. Retain the upper leaflet, cut off the long aerial root, retain the short aerial root, in order to absorb water, conducive to hairy roots. The mixed substrate of coarse sand and peat or rotten leaf soil was used to keep 25-27 ℃ and high air humidity after insertion, and it began to take root about 1 month after insertion. After the cuttings took root, the axillary buds on the stem nodes also began to sprout and spread leaves. In order to accelerate seedling growth, keep more than 10 ℃ at room temperature, strengthen fertilizer and water management, and seedling shaping can be used as a commodity in the second year after planting.

3. Sowing and propagation: seed sowing is also a more common propagation method for tortoise back bamboo, but the former two are less used. In order to improve the seed setting rate, artificial pollination is needed in order to improve the seed setting rate. 9-10:00 and 3-4 pm secondary pollination is the best, and the pollination success rate is high. It takes 15 months from pollination to seed maturity. attention should be paid to ventilation and fertilizer and water management in the stage of seed development to promote fruiting and fullness. Soak the seeds in 40 ℃ warm water for 10 hours before sowing, and the sowing soil should be sterilized at high temperature. Tortoise back bamboo seeds are larger, can be sowed on demand, keep 20-25 ℃ at room temperature after sowing, cover the box mouth with plastic film, maintain more than 80% humidity, and generally germinate 20-25 days after sowing. If the room temperature is too low in the process of sowing, not only the emergence of seedlings will be affected, but even the seeds will rot like water stains.

The culture method of tortoise back bamboo:

1, lighting: tortoise back bamboo sex like warm and humid environment, avoid drought, afraid of direct sunlight, otherwise it is easy to cause withered leaves. In summer, the tortoise-backed bamboo should be placed indoors or under the shade shed, not on the balcony where the sun is too strong, so it is easy to die. When the temperature drops to 6 ℃ in winter, the tortoise-backed bamboo should be moved indoors to keep warm.

2. Watering: the water of the tortoise back bamboo should be sufficient, and the culture soil must always be kept moist. During the growth period in summer, the leaves should be watered once in the morning and in the evening, and the leaves should be sprinkled frequently to keep the leaves bright and the air moist. If the water evaporates slowly in winter, it can be watered once a day in 3-4 days and once a day every day.

3. Fertilization: tortoise back bamboo is a more fertilizer-loving plant, so we should pay attention to fertilizing it properly. During the growth period of the tortoise back bamboo, thin pancake fertilizer and water should be applied every half a month. If the fertilizer is adequate and appropriate, the tortoise back bamboo will grow with lovely leaves.

4. Diseases and pests: tortoise-backed bamboo is very vulnerable to shell insects, and its stems and leaves are most vulnerable to shell insects. It can be sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate after cleaning with an old toothbrush. The common diseases of tortoise back bamboo are leaf spot, gray spot and stem blight, so we should pay attention to timely control.

5, change the basin: the turtle back bamboo pot needs to be changed once a year, and the best time to change the basin is between March and April. When changing the basin, remove the old soil, cut off the withered roots of the tortoise back bamboo, and then add mature organic fertilizer or phosphorus and potash fertilizer as base fertilizer.
