How to grow pine and bamboo

1. Soil

When breeding, use soil that is well-breathed and contains organic matter. It is best to be slightly acidic, and alkaline soil should not be used. Yellow soil, leaf mold and sandy soil can be mixed together to ensure good drainage, which is beneficial to plant growth.

2. Lighting

Although it is shade-tolerant, it still needs light during its growth period, but it can only be diffuse light. If there is not enough light, the branches and stems will easily grow too tall, affecting their growth. Avoid or block strong sunlight in summer, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow.

3. Watering

It likes a humid environment. When caring for it, water it in time if you find the soil is dry, but be careful to control the amount of water, as stagnant water can easily lead to root rot. If there is too little water, the plant will lack water and the leaves will easily turn yellow. During the high temperatures in summer, you should sprinkle more water to reduce the temperature and increase the humidity.

4. Fertilization

Fertilize frequently during the maintenance period, especially during the spring growth period, and apply thin fertilizer every ten days. In summer, use low concentration once every half a month. The concentration can be increased appropriately in autumn, and fertilizer should be stopped in winter when the temperature is low to avoid fertilizer damage.
