Purple bamboo is a kind of bamboo with high ornamental value, which is quite interesting because the bamboo pole is usually purple. And its strong and straight posture gives people a kind of courage to forge ahead, and it is also very likable. As a potted plant, we should not only do a good job of dwarfing to improve the ornamental, but also need to do a good job of maintenance and management. So, how to raise potted purple bamboo?

Because purple bamboo likes warm and humid growth environment, light and shade tolerance, cold tolerance and strong adaptability to the environment, we need to reasonably choose the means of maintenance and management according to these characteristics for scientific management. only in this way can we raise the potted purple bamboo well and make it shine.

As the purple bamboo has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, so the basin soil is also easier to prepare. The editor lists several soil allocation schemes for your reference:

Although purple bamboo is more shady, it also likes light, so it is recommended to put it in places with plenty of light in peacetime maintenance and management, but it is necessary to avoid hot sun exposure in summer and take appropriate shading measures. As it is only watched as a potted plant, we can usually put it indoors near the windowsill or directly on the balcony for maintenance and management.

As the purple bamboo prefer the warm and humid growth environment, so watering should be timely, must not often let it dry, otherwise the leaves of purple bamboo are prone to a variety of growth problems, thus affecting ornamental. At the same time, we also need to regulate the air humidity to make it suitable for plant growth, because plants also have certain requirements for air humidity.
