Methods and points for attention of hydroponic culture of tortoise-backed bamboo

Tortoise back bamboo can be cultivated not only in soil, but also in hydroponics, and it will grow well in hydroponic environment as long as it is properly maintained. In addition to the root system can absorb oxygen in the water, because its stems and leaves are also covered with aerial roots, so it can also absorb oxygen from the air.

So, how can the turtle-backed bamboo cultivated in soil be changed into aquaculture? In fact, as long as the conditions are met, this is entirely possible. First of all, take the plant out of the flowerpot, wash the soil from the root system, and then plant it in water at room temperature. Of course, we can also intercept branches from soil-grown trees and propagate them with water, which can also achieve the goal of viewing leaves and roots.

The following are the methods / steps of hydroponics of Phyllostachys pubescens:

1. Container preparation

Choose a container of moderate size, there are certain requirements in the choice of container, it is recommended to use a thick and stable container to cultivate tortoise back bamboo, so that the container will not be dumped because the branches and leaves of the plant grow too vigorously.

2. Container water injection

After selecting the container, the next step is to inject the right amount of water into the container. Because clear water is relatively clean and more conducive to plant growth, if tap water is used for cultivation, it is recommended to leave it for 1-2 days before use, which will be safer.

3. Cutting cuttings

Some branches were cut from the mature tree of Phyllostachys pubescens as cuttings, but the branches with buds and aerial roots were selected as cuttings, which is a prerequisite to ensure the root germination of the plant.

4. Hydroponic cuttage

Insert the cut cuttings into a container filled with an appropriate amount of water, and if everything is normal, it is recommended to change the water once a week until a large amount of water grows at the base of the cuttings, indicating that our hydroponic process has been successful.

5. Maintenance and management

After the young plants return to normal growth and stability, it is necessary to replace the clear water in the container with a prepared nutrient solution. Then put it in a place where astigmatism can be received for maintenance and management. The temperature of hydroponic culture in summer should be lower than 28 ℃, so it is necessary to do a good job in cooling and moisturizing measures, while in winter, due to the low temperature, it is necessary to take good measures to avoid cold wind blowing.

Note:

1. The depth of the nutrient solution in the container should not exceed half of the height of the root system to ensure that the upper part of the root system can absorb oxygen from the air.

2. Shading and cooling measures should be taken in summer, and warmth and light reception should be ensured in winter.

3. Often shake the container to make the oxygen dissolve in the nutrient solution, so as to increase the oxygen content in the nutrient solution.

4. Try to change the nutrient solution every day in summer and once a week in winter.

5. Ammonium nitrogen can not be dissolved in the nutrient solution, and it is necessary to keep the PH value of the nutrient solution between 6 and 7.
