Phyllostachys pubescens, also known as Guanyin bamboo, is native to southern China. I like warm, humid and semi-cloudy environment, with poor cold resistance, intolerance to strong light and fear of waterlogging. It is suitable for fertile, loose and well-drained loam, and the temperature in winter is not lower than 0 degrees Celsius.
Propagation: multi-purpose branching and cutting propagation. Ramet: In February and March, select 3-5 1-2-year-old mother bamboos as a cluster and plant them with soil ramets. Cutting is carried out in May-June. Cut the annual branches into cuttings of 2-3 knots, cut off some leaves and insert them into the sand bed, and keep them moist, so that they can take root that year.
Cultivation: Transplanting should be carried out in February-March. Pots, change pots every 2-3 years 1 time, take out old bamboo, scrape off soil, cut off tiny underground stems and old bamboo, and add fertile soil. Keep the soil moist during the growth period, keep it in the semi-shade, spray water on the leaves frequently, and apply fertilizer 1 time every month. Move to a sunny place indoors in winter.
Pests and diseases: Leaf blight and rust often occur. Use 2000 times solution of 65% zineb wettable powder to control rust. Pests do great harm to scale insects and aphids, spraying 40% omethoate EC 1500 times.
Should be used: Dryopteris is densely clustered, with short stems and beautiful leaves. It is usually used for potted viewing, decorating small courtyards and bedrooms, making bonsai or as a low hedge material.
The main points of its cultivation techniques are introduced as follows:
1. Choose a suitable planting season. It is best to cultivate in March, when the germination rate of mother bamboo is high and it is the easiest to survive.
2. Choose the ideal mother bamboo. Mother bamboo should grow healthily, without pests and diseases, with large stems and buds and developed fibrous roots, and it is better to grow once or twice a year.
3. Plant in time. If long-distance transportation is really necessary, it should be watered and moisturized in a cool and rain-proof place first, and properly handled during packaging to prevent root injury and soil vibration.
4. Apply plantar fertilizer before planting to ensure adequate nutrition. Choose soft fine soil, fill it at the bottom of the cave first, then apply decomposed manure, mix well with the topsoil, put down the mother bamboo, cover the soil layer by layer, and press the lining. The covering soil is 2 cm to 3 cm deeper than the original soil of the mother bamboo.
5. Pour enough water. After planting, water it in time, the first time must be thoroughly watered, and then reduce the amount of water appropriately until it is dry and wet.
Bamboo is a shrubby bamboo of Gramineae. It has slender branches and leaves, and its stem is slightly bent and drooping, which looks like a phoenix tail. Its posture is chic and its ornamental value is high. Suitable for planting as a garden or bonsai plant, with rocks and ornaments, very elegant and interesting. In general, Eichhornia crassipes is propagated by cutting plants into roots or twigs, and some plants are dug out and planted in autumn. Take root before growing in spring. When cutting twigs, you can cut a thick twig under the node and insert it into loose and moist soil. Put a plastic bag on the mask and put it in the shade. It can take root and grow leaves in about 50 days. As for cultivation, because it is rough, it is easier to cultivate and maintain. However, when it grows vigorously, small bamboo shoots are constantly born and have many branches. In order to ensure the beautiful shape of the plant, old branches and unnecessary leaves should be cut off in time. Good luck!
● Breeding
Multi-purpose branch cutting propagation. Ramet: from February to March, 3-5 1-2-year-old mother bamboos are selected as a cluster and planted with soil ramets. Cutting is carried out in May-June. Cut the annual branches into 2-3 cuttings, cut off some leaves, and insert them into the sand bed to keep them moist, so as to take root in the same year.
Planting and cultivation
Planting should be carried out in February-March. Pots, change pots every 2 ~ 3 years 1 time, take out old bamboo, scrape off soil, cut off tiny underground stems and old bamboo, and add fertile soil. Keep the soil moist during the growth period, keep it in the semi-shade, spray water on the leaves frequently, and apply fertilizer 1 time every month. Move to a sunny place indoors in winter.
