When to prune bamboo

Pruning time: It is generally better to prune bamboo around March in spring, because the temperature is suitable at this time and it is easy to recover after pruning.

How to propagate by cuttings: It is difficult for bamboo to survive if it is inserted into an ordinary sand bed after being propagated by cuttings, but it can be propagated by floating water insertion, and the survival rate is very high. After it takes root, carefully plant it in a flowerpot and place it in the sun. When it grows to a certain size, you can move it to the ground with soil for planting.

Method of pruning bamboo branches and leaves: When pruning, you should cut off the base of the bamboo, but if it is cultivated on the ground, do not do this if it is not dense. Only when it is dense can it be conducive to ventilation. Potted plants are generally pruned once a year. When cutting off old plants, only 2-3 cm is left. The pruning should be smooth and no thorns should be left.
