Cut the head and force the bud to breed the back of the tortoise

Choose the larger tortoise-backed bamboo with more than 3 years old, with stem nodes and 10 layers of leaves, cut off the tender head with a leaf, and the tender head can also be cut. If in its vigorous growth period, it will soon sprout new heads in the axils of the uppermost two leaves of the stem, generally at least two new buds at a time. At this time, the aerial roots of the new buds will also grow synchronously. When the new buds grow to more than 3 leaves, the long aerial roots will naturally go into the basin soil, and then they will grow fibrous roots that can absorb nutrients. The two new seedlings are formed naturally, but they are still connected to the mother tree. When the new seedling has four leaves, cut it at the junction of the mother plant, but do not divide it right away. Separate the two with cardboard first to prevent them from healing again, so that they can grow independently for a period of time and can be separated after 5 days. At this time, new buds will sprout in other leaf axils, that is, the beginning of new forced buds.

Management should pay attention to: do not expose to the sun, especially in midsummer, can only be placed in the outdoor scattered light. Keep up with the fertilizer and apply 0.3% urea once a week. In addition, it is necessary to cut off the new seedlings in time, so as to reduce the nutrient consumption of the mother plant and divide the plants on time.
