How to grow potted purple bamboo plum

1. Breeding environment

1. Temperature: Purple Bamboo Plum has relatively high requirements for temperature, and the temperature between 18 and 30 degrees is better. It is important to keep warm in winter, the temperature should not drop below ten degrees. It is best to keep it indoors, but not next to a heater.

2. Watering: Water thoroughly once just after planting. The soil only needs watering after it is dry, and water should not accumulate. In summer, you can water more appropriately and spray some water.

3. Fertilization: Purple Bamboo Plum does not require much fertilizer. Once or twice a month is fine.

4. Humidity: The humidity of the air should be kept between 60 and 75 percent, not too high, otherwise diseases are likely to occur.

5. Soil: The main requirements are looseness, fertility and good drainage. You can use perlite, peat soil, and expanded clay in a ratio of two to two to one.

6. Light: Providing good light can make the color of the leaves more beautiful.

2. Regular pruning

Pruning is usually done in March. The main thing is to cut off the weak branches and the dry branches. This will encourage the growth of new branches when spring comes. In addition, for bonsai, regular pruning is also very important to fix the shape.

3. Change pots regularly

Repotting can also be done in spring. In addition to replacing new soil, the roots can also be properly pruned. Repotting is beneficial to future growth.
