1, temperature
Bamboo likes to grow in a warm environment, so it is necessary to take warm measures when planting bamboo in winter. If flower lovers in the north have the conditions to move it to a warm place indoors for maintenance, if it is bamboo planted outdoors, we can wrap warm materials on its branches to make it safe for winter.
Step 2 reduce watering
In winter, water evaporation is slow, and when the temperature is as low as 10℃, most of bamboo will go into a dormant state and no longer grow. Therefore, when planting bamboo in winter, it is better to water less and keep the soil slightly dry, because if the soil is too wet, the roots of bamboo will rot. The water temperature should not be too low when watering, otherwise the bamboo roots may be frostbitten.
3. Adequate lighting
Bamboo is a sunny plant, and its leaves are evergreen all year round. When cultivated in winter, it should be placed in a place with sufficient light to promote its vigorous growth. If left in the dark for a long time, the leaves may wither and turn yellow.
4, timely fertilization
Bamboo kept in the soil grows very fast, so the branches at the top can be cut short to prevent the rapid growth of plants, and timely fertilization can make the branches and leaves grow more luxuriantly.
What soil is suitable for planting potted bamboo?
Bamboo likes acidic soil with deep and fertile soil and rich organic matter and mineral elements. You can use acid soil or neutral soil, which contains some granular stones, which can increase the permeability of bamboo roots. Peat can also be mixed with humus, perlite, ceramsite, river sand, garden soil, etc.
