Disease prevention measures can the roots of Guanyin bamboo be cut off?

Guanyin bamboo is a kind of evergreen plant with sturdy stems and large leaves, which is very suitable for indoor foliage. Because its stalks are stout and leaves are huge, it consumes a lot of nutrients, so its root system is relatively developed. After growing for a long time, its roots will be densely distributed at the bottom of the container, so can the roots of Guanyin bamboo be cut off?

Because Guanyin bamboo has a strong root system, the roots themselves will grow very dense when there is sufficient fertilization, and if there is not enough space in the basin, these roots will appear tangled and intertwined with each other, and will inhibit root respiration if they are light. reduce the absorption capacity, heavy may cause rotting roots. Therefore, proper root pruning is beneficial not only to promote the germination of new roots, to improve the absorbing capacity of roots, but also to the growth of plants.

Moreover, Guanyin bamboo can be induced to take root by hydroponic culture without roots, so its roots can usually be cut off. However, if the root system is cut off for soil culture, it is like re-cutting propagation, which will often cause difficulties in rooting, which can easily lead to withered and yellow plants, leaf loss and other phenomena, and may be fatal in serious cases.

Therefore, whether the root system of Guanyin bamboo can be pruned or not, the originality often needs to be decided according to water culture or soil culture. In the case of hydroponic culture, the root system can usually be cut off directly, but in the case of soil culture, the root system can not be cut directly. And even if the soil culture Guanyin bamboo root cutting treatment, generally still need to carry out water culture roots, and then can be converted to soil culture.

However, if the root rot occurs in the soil-cultured Guanyin bamboo, on the one hand, we can cut off all its roots, leaving only a small number of leaves on the stem and the upper part of the stem for water culture, and then carry out soil culture; on the other hand, if the root rot is not deep and the root growth is very dense, we can trim the roots properly, mainly by cutting off the rotten roots and the old and weak fine roots that grow slowly and weakly, and then carry out soil culture.

In fact, whether hydroponic culture or soil culture, as long as there is no rotting root phenomenon, there is generally no need for root cutting, because the degree of root development is also relative. Compared with foliage plants such as Fugui bamboo, its root system is also underdeveloped. If the root of Guanyin bamboo is trimmed and cut blindly, it is likely to cause poor growth of the plant.
