What if the tortoise carries the bamboo and loses down?

Tortoise back bamboo is a plant of Araceae. It is called tortoise back bamboo because its leaves are large and resemble the back shell of a tortoise. It is mainly cultivated as ornamental plants in the tropics of our country. The growth characteristics of tortoise back bamboo are thick stems, aerial roots, and are shade tolerant plants. Many people grow tortoise-backed bamboos in their homes. After planting, they sometimes find that they are growing well, but suddenly lodging occurs. How to deal with this? let's teach you how to save the lodging bamboos.

1. Pruning

Tortoise back bamboo branches are relatively long, the leaves are relatively large, the growth is tall, is a number of stems scattered growth, so it is easy to lodge if you are not careful. At the beginning of planting, we should pay attention to the reasonable dispersion of branches, pay attention to the angle between the branches, you can use a rope around the stem, tie a circle, not too tight, but more tight than the original angle. Identify the main branches, about 5, and other new buds can be removed. The new branch on the branch can be retained properly, and the old branch can be renewed. To keep growing in this way.

2. Fertilization

Lodging is mainly due to the lack of strength of the stem, so it is easy to lodge, which may be due to lack of nutrition, or lack of potassium and phosphorus, whether it is due to excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer, resulting in unbearable lodging of the rhizome. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, pay attention to the use of compound fertilizer, regularly supplement potash fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, especially when planting, when the stem is tender, it should be replenished in time. Usually, some plant ash can be applied to the aquaculture soil to prevent the soil from being too wet.

3. Moisture

The soil moisture is too much, the humidity is too large, the soil is easy to disperse, can not support the root system, and the stem is difficult to maintain upright growth, so it is easy to grow abnormally at the base and gradually bend and lodge. So in fact, it is like a tortoise with bamboo on its back to withstand shade. If it is kept at home for a long time, it will not be too short of water, so it is not necessary to water it every day. It can be watered once every 5 days or so. If the special plant grows taller, it should be watered less. If you water too much, you can move it outside and put it away.

4. Lighting

Plant growth needs light to grow strong, although shade-tolerant, but can never move outside to receive light, we must pay attention to appropriate light, for branches and leaves, stems, the whole growth has a certain benefit. So you can put it out for a day or two every week or two. You can usually put it near the window as much as possible. See the light.

In general, the growth lodging of tortoise-backed bamboo is caused by the fact that the external environment does not meet the growth needs. Therefore, the cultivation management must be meticulous, and focus on the management when the tortoise back bamboo is young. This can prevent the lodging of tortoise-backed bamboo.
