The shorter the asparagus fern is, the more valuable it is. If it grows fat and plump, it can be sold for 10,000 yuan!

The noble man in the asparagus fern: Yunzhu

The cloud bamboo, which is almost as big as a palm, is actually a variant of asparagus fern. Its leaves are denser, and its stature is much shorter and does not grow tall. It has an elegant temperament. Because of this, it is very suitable for bonsai and micro landscape planting.

The price of ordinary cloud bamboo is 8-20 times that of asparagus fern, not to mention the cloud bamboo made into artistic bonsai. It all depends on the ingenuity of the owner of the flower. Each cloud bamboo has a different posture and can be said to be priceless.

Cloud bamboo originated in Tangshan, so it is also called Tangshan cloud bamboo. At first, due to its unique variety and low yield, it was difficult for ordinary flower lovers to get in touch with it. Now the variety is popular, and flower lovers who like small cloud bamboo can also grow it~

Noble Cloud Bamboo is so easy to grow

Although cloud bamboo looks delicate, it is actually very easy to grow. It does not take up space like asparagus fern. It can be placed in a small corner and it will immediately be full of temperament. It is also easy to maintain, just follow Huahua to learn~

1. Selecting a pot is the basis

For small green plants like cloud bamboo, you can't use a large pot. Breathable red pottery, clay pots, or ceramic pots are all suitable. Shallow pots are best, which can not only highlight the posture of the cloud bamboo, but also prevent root rot.

2. Don’t use too much soil, just a thin layer

Cloud bamboo does not require much soil. Just spread some small expanded clay at the bottom of the pot and then spread a layer of loose leaf mold or nutrient soil. Careful flower lovers can also spread a layer of moss on the soil surface, which is clean and moisturizing. Add some stones and some handicrafts, and we can become bonsai masters!

3. Don’t worry about watering, the lazy method works best

When seeing this kind of small flower, many flower lovers are afraid of watering it. In fact, cloud bamboo is not expensive. It only needs to be watered once every 2-3 days in autumn. Keep a small spray bottle next to it and spray it twice when you remember to prevent the surrounding air from being too dry.

4. Slow growth with diffuse light, the leaves grow into a green ball

Cloud bamboo likes an environment with diffuse light. What is diffuse light? It is a place with sporadic sunlight indoors, or a place with relatively bright light indoors. This can not only avoid yellowing leaves caused by strong light, but also ensure photosynthesis, keeping the leaves dark green and not yellow.

5. Don’t buy fertilizers, these homemade fertilizers are better than anything else

The cloud bamboo is a small tree and does not need much fertilizer. Changing the soil once a year is enough for basic nutrition. If you want it to grow faster, you can also put some crushed peanut shells and melon seed shells (not salty) at the bottom of the pot, which will both allow water to flow and provide fertilizer.

If you want to grow cloud bamboo, you must know these 3 questions

Since Cloud Bamboo is a variant of Asparagus Fern, it has some of the same problems as Asparagus Fern. So when raising Cloud Bamboo, you must be clear about the following three issues!

1. It’s not a big deal if the leaves turn yellow, just cut them a few times.

The leaves of cloud bamboo are thick, but too strong light, dry air, and reduced water will cause yellow leaves. Yellow leaves cannot be saved, so quickly cut off the yellow parts and move to a cool place to slowly nurture. Use a small spray bottle to spray around more often, and don't concentrate the spray on the leaves.

2. Too much watering will cause black rot and soft rot

Flower lovers should not water or spray too much. Cloud bamboo has small fleshy roots, which will easily rot if watered too much; the leaves are thick, so spraying too much water will easily cause moisture accumulation and rot. It is important to grow flowers in moderation. Watering too frequently can kill the flowers.

3. If the plant grows too long and becomes damaged, it needs to be pruned in time.

The dwarf will also grow up one day. When the cloud bamboo is in the ear, it is mostly leggy. In order to maintain its "fat and round" shape, you should trim it when you see it, and don't let it grow recklessly. This way, it will become more noble.
