When cultivating the loose-tailed bamboo, the substrate must have good drainage performance. Too much clay will hinder the growth of the plant. It is relatively shade-tolerant, but the correct light is more suitable for its growth. The amount of watering is different in different periods. Pay attention to timely watering during the growth period and control watering after late autumn. It is also necessary to pay attention to the problem of diseases and pests.

Watering the bamboo

The watering of the scattered bamboo should follow the principle of seasonal dryness and wetness, and the pot soil should be kept moist at ordinary times. During the high temperature period in summer and autumn, the air humidity around the plant should be kept high, but the pot soil should not accumulate water to avoid rot.

Fertilization of bamboo

Generally, rotten liquid fertilizer and compound fertilizer are applied to the loose-tailed bamboo once every 1 to 2 weeks to promote vigorous growth of the plant and make the leaves dark green. Appropriate nitrogen-containing organic fertilizers are added in summer, and organic flower fertilizers such as sesame paste are applied in winter, while keeping the potting soil dry and wet.

Pest and disease control of spathiphyllum

If the environment for growing spatholobi is dry and poorly ventilated, red spider mites and scale insects are very likely to appear. You can spray them regularly with thiophanate-methyl or thiophanate-methyl to prevent and control them.

Precautions for the maintenance of scattered bamboo

During the cultivation period of scattered bamboo, it is necessary to prune it in time. The old leaves and yellow leaves can be cut off. At the same time, the tree shape should be pruned, which can promote the growth of new branches and make it more beautiful.

After entering winter every year, it is necessary to move the scattered bamboo to a warm room and provide it with sufficient sunlight, but it is important to place it away from heating equipment such as heaters or air conditioners.
