How to grow cloud bamboo and precautions

Growing conditions of cloud bamboo

Cloud bamboo likes a warm environment, and the suitable growth temperature is about 20 degrees. It likes a semi-shaded environment and cannot accept direct sunlight. Normally, the soil only needs to be kept slightly moist, not too dry or too wet. In addition, a thin liquid fertilizer should be applied once every half a month. Meeting these requirements can meet its growth needs.

How to grow cloud bamboo

Cloud bamboo is suitable for planting in soil with good drainage and water retention. Peat soil and perlite can be mixed and prepared. There must be sufficient sunlight every day, but shade is needed in summer. Watering should be controlled at ordinary times and it should not be too wet. Water should be replenished after the soil surface is dry. During the growth period, mainly apply dilute nitrogen fertilizer to promote its growth.

Watering bamboo

Cloud bamboo has fleshy roots and cannot tolerate waterlogging. Just keep the soil slightly moist and not too dry. Water it thoroughly each time and do not water it halfway. Its water requirements vary in different seasons. Water more in spring, control watering in summer and autumn, and water less in winter.

Fertilization of bamboo

Cloud bamboo likes fertilizer. During the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn, a thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every 15-20 days. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can also be applied. Fertilization should be stopped during the high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter. Fertilization should also be controlled during the growth period to prevent excessive growth of branches and leaves.

Pest and disease control of cloud bamboo

If scale insects appear on cloud bamboo, you can directly brush them off with a brush, or you can cut off the diseased and insect-infested branches. If there are a lot of them, you can spray omethoate. If aphids appear, you can spray imidacloprid, which is very effective.

The best maintenance temperature for cloud bamboo is around 20 degrees. It should not be lower than 10 degrees in winter and higher than 35 degrees in summer. It is not resistant to strong sunlight exposure and is suitable for growing in semi-shade. Water it when the soil is dry and keep the soil slightly moist. It likes loose, fertile and well-drained soil. Clay is forbidden. In addition, wipe the branches clean or prune them in time when pests and diseases occur.

Precautions for cloud bamboo maintenance

If the leaves of the cloud bamboo turn yellow, apply 20 times decomposed liquid fertilizer or 1000 times urea solution 1-2 times. In summer, it should be placed in a well-ventilated semi-shaded place for maintenance. In winter, it can be placed on a sunny windowsill for full-sun maintenance. If the temperature is high in summer, also spray the leaves with an appropriate amount.
