Cultivation methods and precautions of purple bamboo

1. Breeding methods:

1. Pot soil selection:

Potted purple bamboo grown at home is relatively easy to grow, as long as the temperature and sunlight are sufficient, and the soil is loose. You can choose a plastic pot to plant purple bamboo, and you can use rice water to water it.

2. Water and fertilizer management:

Purple bamboo likes warm and humid places. During the growing period, depending on the weather changes, it should be watered every 2 to 5 days when the bottom of the pot is dry. Do not water too much to prevent root rot. After the bamboo takes root, apply fertilizer appropriately, and apply small amounts of fertilizer frequently. Temperature and light: Purple bamboo is most suitable for 18°C ​​to 25°C. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight in the summer. It is best to place it in a place with partial sunlight, otherwise it will lose its luster. When the temperature drops below 5°C, place it indoors for the winter.

4. Update reproduction:

After planting purple bamboo for a long time, if you find that the height of the bamboo is out of proportion to the size of the pot, which affects the appearance, you can cut it down 10 cm to 15 cm from the potting soil in May or June. After cutting back, new branches will grow below. The cut stems are not useless and can be used for further reproduction. As long as the cut purple bamboo has roots, plant it directly into the soil.

2. Notes:

1. Purple bamboo likes moist places, and must not be placed in overly dry places. When you fill the pot with water for the first time, you must water it thoroughly, and then keep the bottom of the pot moist. But don't water it too much, otherwise the roots of the purple bamboo will rot, greatly reducing its ornamental value. From the time it is put into the pot until it survives, you should also spray water on the surface of the leaves frequently. If you find the leaves are curling, water it in time.

2. Use organic fertilizer for potted purple bamboo, and apply it frequently with thin fertilizer after it takes root.

3. Pay attention to pests in potted purple bamboos as well. Spray them with 80% DDT emulsion. If you pay more attention to ventilation and light transmission, you can effectively prevent damage from pests and diseases. In normal times, you should strengthen management and prune bad branches in time.
