Rich bamboo hydroponics method and precautions
Today's sharing: Rich bamboo hydroponics method and precautions and the green plant maintenance tips for beginners to raise rich bamboo, let's learn about them together.
Rich bamboo hydroponics, master 4 key points, half a month to grow white roots, lush branches and leaves
Nowadays, many families place several fresh green plants in the living room, and rich bamboo is a very popular ornamental plant. It not only has a beautiful meaning but also has a straight posture, graceful bearing, and evergreen throughout the year. Keeping it at home can beautify the environment and improve air quality.
Although rich bamboo is beautiful, it often fails to grow new roots or the leaves turn yellow during hydroponics. So, what are the key points of maintenance to make it root quickly and grow vigorously during rich bamboo hydroponics?
Branch pruning method
Many flower friends, after buying the branches of rich bamboo, do not prune them and directly put them in a vase with water. However, after a period of time, they find that the branches not only fail to grow new roots but the leaves also turn yellow.
This is because the cutting end of the newly purchased rich bamboo branch has dried up and is no longer fresh, which cannot absorb water normally. When the nutrients stored inside the branch are consumed, the leaves start to turn yellow.
Therefore, after buying the rich bamboo branch, it needs to be pruned first, cutting off 3-5 centimeters from the bottom of the branch, so that it can absorb water. Remove the bottom leaves and retain only the top leaves that are growing vigorously. If too many bottom leaves are left and directly soaked in water, it can also cause yellow leaves.
After pruning the branch, insert it into a vase, add clear water, and it can absorb nutrients normally. After a period of time, it can start to grow white roots.
Don't add too much water in the vase
Many beginners in raising rich bamboo have encountered the problem of yellow leaves after a short period of time, and the reason for the yellow leaves is often due to too much water in the vase. When the water level is too deep, most of the branches are soaked in water, which can affect the plant's respiration and cause yellow leaves over time.
Rich bamboo hydroponics method and precautions
In fact, rich bamboo hydroponics does not require adding too much water in the vase. Generally, adding water to a depth of 8-10 centimeters is enough. When the water in the vase is absorbed less and less by the plant, add more water to prevent yellow leaves.
Additionally, for newly hydroponic rich bamboo, it is important to change the water frequently. If the water is not changed for a long time, it can become unclean, causing sticky substances or moss to grow on the stem of rich bamboo, which can affect the plant's nutrient absorption. Especially in summer, try to change the water frequently, every 3-5 days, and when the roots grow, the water change time can be extended.
Add nutrient solution to the water to supplement nutrients
Rich bamboo hydroponics also requires regular nutrient supplementation. If only water is changed simply, the limited nutrients in the water cannot meet the plant's growth requirements, and over time the plant's growth will become worse and it will be difficult to grow roots and new leaves.
Many flower friends may not know how to fertilize and supplement nutrients for hydroponic flowers. If fertilizer is directly added to the water, it will definitely affect the water quality, and too strong fertilizer can cause root burn, leading to yellow leaves.
When hydroponic rich bamboo, a general-purpose plant nutrient solution can be prepared at home, which has a balanced nutrient content. After changing the water for rich bamboo, just add the appropriate amount of plant nutrient solution to the water to supplement the plant's nutrients and make it grow vigorously.
Place it in a ventilated environment without direct sunlight for maintenance
Rich bamboo is a semi-shaded plant. When maintained at home, if there is direct sunlight and dry air in the environment, it is very easy to cause the leaves to turn yellow and wither.
When keeping rich bamboo indoors, it is also important to maintain good ventilation and avoid direct sunlight. In hot and dry weather, a spray bottle can be used to spray the plant's branches and leaves and the surrounding area to increase humidity and promote plant growth.
