It can be placed under the condition of scattered light in daily life, and the flowerpot can be placed in the backlight of the window in summer, but sufficient sunshine is needed in winter.

3. Temperature

Phyllostachys pubescens is suitable for living in warm conditions, and is not very cold-resistant, and the most suitable temperature for its growth is about 15-25 ℃. When the winter temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it should be moved indoors to avoid frostbite, and the indoor temperature should be maintained between 15-20 ℃.

4. Moisture

Tortoise back bamboo is suitable for survival in wet conditions, but the soil can not accumulate water to prevent rotting roots, and it is best to keep it dry without cracking and moistening. 60% of the air humidity is suitable, and the leaves should be sprayed with water every day in summer. It is not necessary in winter to avoid black spots or even blackening and rot on the leaves.

5. Fertilization

The period from April to September is the prosperous period for the growth of Phyllostachys pubescens. In order to provide it with nutrition, it is necessary to apply dilute liquid fertilizer every half a month or so, and irrigate 28% or 30% of nitrogen liquid fertilizer once in 14 days during the growing period, which can promote the plant to be strong. In order to make the stem stronger and avoid lodging, additional phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied after autumn.

6. Pruning

After the setting of the tortoise back bamboo, in order to achieve natural beauty, the whole plant can be pruned properly where the stem node leaves grow too dense and the branches grow too long, and if you want the stem vines to grow rapidly, you can appropriately trim the aged leaves in the lower part.

The control measures can be sprayed with 1000 times of topiramine or 0.5% Bordeaux solution, and plant maintenance should be strengthened. The common pests are mainly shell insects. Control measures can be sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate emulsion.

2. The most suitable temperature for the growth of Phyllostachys pubescens is between 20 and 25 ℃. It should be noted that the night temperature in winter during the seedling period should not be lower than 10 ℃ to avoid frostbite.

3. The growth period of tortoise back bamboo is the period of rapid plant growth, and the cultivation space needs to be a little more spacious so as not to affect the extension of stems and leaves, resulting in unbeautiful leaf shape.

4. it is necessary to spray water and maintain high air humidity in summer, and the leaves need to be kept clean, which is beneficial to photosynthesis.

5.
