How to raise the newly purchased purple bamboo plum
Can't you keep the purple bamboo plum that you just bought? This purple-based leaf-viewing plant captures the hearts of countless flower lovers with its unique vein texture. As a new plant with an environmental adaptation period of 2-3 weeks, mastering scientific maintenance methods can help it quickly establish a healthy growth system. This article will systematically analyze the maintenance secrets of newly purchased purple bamboo plum from environmental control to daily management. 1. Temperature control strategies for key elements during the environmental adaptation period Newly purchased purple bamboo plum is most sensitive to the temperature in the range of 18-30℃, and growth stagnation will occur below 15℃. It is recommended to place it on a bright window sill indoors to avoid direct air conditioning. The temperature difference between day and night is controlled within 5℃ and can be continuously monitored with a thermometer. The humidity balance plan is combined with temperature control and needs to maintain 60%-75% air humidity. You can use a sprayer to form an atomizing environment within 1 meter around the plant in the morning and evening, and pay attention to avoid direct spraying on the leaves to cause water accumulation. 2. Four elements of daily maintenance Scientific watering system Establish the principle of "see dry and wet" after pouring thoroughly for the first time: Insert the bamboo stick into 2/3 of the pot soil, pull it out without moisture before watering. It is recommended to use a long-spout pot to slowly fill water along the edge of the basin until the bottom drain hole seeps. The "progressive lighting method" was implemented for the first two weeks of the light adjustment plan: receive 2000-3000lux of scattered light from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. every day, and transfer to a shade in the afternoon. Starting from the third week, it can be extended to 4 hours, and it can be used with a sunshade net to filter out strong light. The restricted area for fertilization indicates that fertilization is strictly prohibited 30 days before new plants. When no absorption channels are established in the roots, any fertilizer will cause salt accumulation. After 3 new leaves have grown, a special liquid fertilizer for leaf-viewing plants diluted 2000 times can be applied once a month. 3. Health status monitoring Record growth indicators such as leaf extension angle and number of new buds sprouting every week. If the leaf tips appear scorched, immediately check whether there is direct light; if the base leaves are yellow, check for water accumulation.
After 3-4 weeks of careful maintenance, Purple Bamboo Plum will complete the environmental adaptation period. At this time, it can be observed that the new leaves show standard purple-red veins, and aerial roots sprout at the base of the stems, indicating that the plants have completely adapted to the new environment. It is recommended to rotate the flowerpot 180 degrees every season in the future to ensure even development of plant type.
