During the peak growth period from May to June, thin fertilizer was applied twice a month. During the growing period, remove the unnecessary branches from the sprouting roots in time, and carry out a comprehensive refurbishment after autumn, cutting off the disease and insect branches, dry and withered branches and other branches that affect the shape, so as to shorten the overlong branches so as to dwarf the plants. and conducive to the germination of new branches in spring. Winter in the cold indoor winter, in the warmer south can also be in the outdoor shelter to the sun to winter. The basin should be changed every 2 to 3 years in spring, and the sandy soil with rich humus, loose and fertile soil and good drainage and permeability should be used.

Second, the propagation mode of Phyllostachys pubescens.

1. Seed propagation

The seeds were collected in autumn and sown immediately after harvest. On the whole seedbed, ditches were opened according to the row spacing of 33 cm, and the depth was about 10 cm. The sowing rate was 90 Mel 120 kg per hectare. After sowing, cover the plant ash and fine soil and press it tightly. The seedlings grow slowly in the second year, so weeding, loosening the soil and applying light human and animal manure should be done frequently. From now on, we should pay attention to ploughing and weeding every year. Topdressing can be planted in the nursery after 3 years of cultivation. Transplanting should be carried out after the rain in spring. The distance between plants and rows is 100 cm each.

The branches are truncated once a year. The newly planted bonsai should be pruned according to the height of the stem and the density of branches and leaves. In the early spring of the second year, cut off the dry tips of the previous year, and the length of each trunk should be arranged in accordance with the requirements of jungle and multi-trunk. At the same time, by cutting off the withered branches and leaves and cutting the shoots every year, we can avoid the phenomenon that the trunk tree increases year after year, and the lining tree T is shorter and weaker.

Phyllostachys pubescens can be turned once in 2-3 years, which should be combined with root pruning and soil change. when adjusting the arrangement and distribution of trees, it can be rearranged and planted. The thick trunk is planted in the main position, and the thin trunk is planted around the left and right of the main tree. It is necessary to cut off the trunk once to make the height and height distribution of the trunk natural.
