The cultivation and care methods of富贵竹 (Fortune Bamboo)
The editor will tell you about the cultivation and care methods of富贵竹 and the introduction of green plants and flowers for the correct planting skills of富贵竹. Next, the editor of this site will introduce to you.
富贵竹 is a type of flower that many families will raise. Every year, as winter approaches the New Year, almost every household buys a bunch. Now that it's already summer, many places experience yellow leaves and rotting roots when caring for富贵竹. Some gardening friends say that throwing a few rusty nails into the vase will solve the yellowing leaves of富贵竹. However, this statement is not correct. There are many reasons for the yellowing leaves of富贵竹, and throwing nails without clarifying the cause may even cause root rot.
1. Why do 富贵竹 leaves turn yellow?
Yellowing leaves of 富贵竹 is actually a very common phenomenon. If it yellows in winter, it's mostly because the surrounding temperature is too low. But now it's summer, and if 富贵竹 still has yellow leaves, the possibility of low temperature can be ruled out. There's a higher chance that there's a problem with the roots.
So when cultivating 富贵竹, we must first take good care of its roots. Only when the roots are strong can 富贵竹 grow better. How exactly should we care for the roots of 富贵竹? The editor shares his own method for everyone to reference.
2. How to care for the roots of 富贵竹?
For the newly purchased 富贵竹, we can remove the leaves near the roots to reduce the consumption of nutrients. The part inserted into the water should not have leaves, meaning that only the stem of 富贵竹 should be in the water.
Then, cut the stem of 富贵竹 at a 45-degree angle to expand the water absorption area, which also increases the area for nutrient absorption, making it easier to root.
3. Use a small amount of rooting hormone appropriately
Some gardening friends may find that after raising 富贵竹 for a while, this type of green plant does not root easily and sometimes dies before it even starts to root. In fact, we can use a small amount of rooting powder. Generally, sprinkling 1-2g in the water is enough, do not put too much.
4. The temperature must be appropriate
富贵竹 actually has relatively high requirements for temperature. It can only survive normally at temperatures above 15 degrees Celsius, and it is difficult to grow normally below 10 degrees Celsius. Now the temperature in various parts of the country is relatively cool and has not reached the point of being a "furnace," so maintaining a temperature of 15-23 degrees Celsius is fine. As long as all the previous steps are done well and the temperature is maintained properly, gardening friends can see 富贵竹 roots in two weeks.
