How to water cloud bamboo

Overview of watering bamboo

Judging watering : If it happens to be rainy weather and the cloud bamboo itself is relatively wet, then the watering time can be extended. The simplest way is to observe the dryness and wetness of the potting soil. If 1-2 cm of the potting soil is dry, it needs to be watered in time.

How often to water : Cloud bamboo has relatively high requirements for water, and the amount of water needs to be reasonably controlled during maintenance. Generally, water it once every four or five days in spring and autumn, and once every two or three days in summer. The specific watering time also depends on the soil conditions. Water thoroughly after the potting soil is dry. In hot weather, pay attention to spraying water to cool down. Watering should follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and wet.

Water thoroughly : Cloud bamboo has fleshy roots and cannot tolerate waterlogging. When watering, just keep the soil slightly moist. Do not let it be too dry, and the root system cannot be in a state of long-term waterlogging. Do not water too much.

The correct way to water cloud bamboo

What kind of water to use : Cloud bamboo can be watered with boiled water that has been cooled down after boiling. Rainwater that has settled can also be used to water the flowers, which can promote early flowering and is also good for the growth of leaves. In addition, rice water can also be used, which is rich in nutrients and is suitable for the absorption and development of cloud bamboo. Vegetable washing water also has this effect.

Amount of watering : Do not water the cloud bamboo too much. "Water when dry and water when wet" is the watering principle. Watering should be appropriate. There is no fixed amount of watering per day and how many days to water. It should be determined by the weather and the growth conditions of the cloud bamboo. Generally, watering is enough to moisten the topsoil. If the air is dry, you need to spray more clean water.

Repotting and watering : After repotting the cloud bamboo, you can water it thoroughly once, which is the water to fix the roots. If it is changed from hydroponic culture to soil culture, then do not water it too wet after repotting the cloud bamboo. Just keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. Watering too thoroughly will cause water accumulation and suffocation of the roots.

Precautions for watering cloud bamboo

There is no fixed time for watering cloud bamboo. It needs to be based on the growth of the plant, weather, and soil dryness and humidity. The water temperature and soil temperature should be close. In spring, generally wait until the soil is dry before watering. Watering once a week is enough. In summer, water evaporates quickly, so you can water it in the morning and evening, and use a watering can to sprinkle water appropriately. In autumn, slowly reduce the amount of watering, water once every half a month, and water less in winter.
