How to grow green bamboo

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: For growing green bamboo, you need to use soil with good air permeability. Fertile and slightly acidic soil is best. You can mix it with perlite, peat, vermiculite, etc.

2. Watering: There must be sufficient water during the growth period of green bamboo. After the plant matures, watering can be reduced appropriately, otherwise it will grow too tall and the internodes will also be elongated. For daily maintenance, wait until the soil becomes dry before watering, and make sure to water thoroughly.

3. Temperature: The temperature should be controlled at around 25℃. If the temperature is lower than -5℃, its leaves will be damaged by frost. If it is lower than -7℃, the green bamboo will be frozen to death. Therefore, when the temperature is low in winter, you must adjust the temperature appropriately to allow it to spend the winter safely.

4. Fertilization: Organic fertilizer is generally used as the main fertilizer for green bamboo. Fertilization should be done in autumn and winter to improve its ability to survive the winter.

2. Common pests and diseases

1. Bamboo rust: When the degree of damage is low, there will be orange-yellow summer spores on the back of the leaves. If the damage is serious, it will cause a large number of leaves to fall off. The diseased leaves and branches should be cut off in the early stage of the disease, and sprayed with Boll solution to prevent and control, so as to avoid secondary infection. Air circulation should be ensured at ordinary times.

2. Bamboo leaf roller: This pest is very common. After being harmed, the bamboo leaves will be eroded by it and the bamboo branches will turn yellow, which will affect its normal growth. After discovery, it can be removed manually or sprayed with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. If it is found as an adult, it is best to use a black light to lure and kill it.
