How to plant purple bamboo

1. Prepare the ground for bed

Choose fertile, loose and well-drained soil as the substrate for seedling cultivation. The soil needs to be disinfected before planting. You can choose to dilute potassium permanganate solution and then spray it.

2. Selection of Buried Ears

Except for small sections with three to five nodes, all other branches and leaves should be cut off. Generally, on the same mother bamboo, the quality of branches and buds in different parts is almost the same. Normally, the branches in the upper part will be better, but the diameter of the branches in the upper part will be smaller, the internodes will be shorter, and it will store very little water. After the bamboo buds grow into shoots and consume nutrients, they will wither. The lower part of the mother bamboo receives less light, so the main branches are not particularly well developed, or there are no buds, and the only branches are not well developed. The branches in the middle part of the main bamboo are relatively well developed and grow the fastest. The bamboo poles store more nutrients, so this part is the best material for planting.

3. Production of buried ears

The method of cutting the connected bamboo branches is to generally select a single segment for seedling cultivation, that is, to retain a whole bamboo node, which must have well-developed branches and hidden buds, and half of the culm part must be retained in the upper and lower parts of the bamboo node.

4. Buried ear treatment

After the materials are selected, they must be soaked in rooting powder solution for about 30 minutes, and then taken out for use. The next step is to dig a 20 cm wide and 10 cm deep trench on the seedbed and bury the processed ear strips flatly.

5. Seedling Management

After burying the ears of corn, they must be covered with a layer of straw and watered in time. The temperature must be maintained between 20 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Celsius, and the relative humidity needs to be maintained between 75% and 95%. The next step is regular burial.
