How long will it take for the rich bamboo to bloom?
As an evergreen player in home green plants, Fugui Bamboo is deeply loved for its tall and straight plant type and auspicious meaning. However, many flower lovers have found that although the branches and leaves are kept green, they have never seen signs of flowering. How much time does it take for this green to precipitate before it blooms? Let us discover the mystery of the flowering of rich bamboo through scientific conservation. Analysis of the flowering cycle of rich bamboo: Regional differences affect the flowering period. Rich bamboo is maintained in potted plants in northern China, the flowering probability is less than 5%, and usually requires 8-10 years of careful cultivation. In warm and humid areas such as Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan, plants maintained by local planting methods may head and bloom in 3-5 years. This regional difference is mainly due to the original demand of plants for a warm and humid environment. The substrate formula of the four-dimensional flower-promoting maintenance system is optimized with a gold ratio of peat soil: humus soil: perlite =3:2:1, which not only ensures nutrient supply but also has good air permeability. When changing pots every spring, 5% bone meal can be added as long-acting phosphate fertilizer, which is a key nutrient to promote flower bud differentiation. Intelligent moisture control adopts the dual strategy of "seeing dry and wet + increasing micro-environment." The moisture content of the substrate is maintained at around 60%, and the air humidity is maintained with an ultrasonic humidifier to be greater than 65%. Especially during the flower bud differentiation period from September to October, foliar spraying can be carried out twice a week. Light cycle management implements a combination scheme of "scattered light + filling light". Ensure 4 hours of soft light every day and avoid direct strong light at noon. Plant fill light can be added in autumn and winter to extend the light time to 8 hours, which is an important environmental signal that triggers flowering. Temperature gradient control maintains the temperature difference between day and night within the range of 8-10℃, and a gradient change of 25-28℃ during the day/18-20℃ at night can effectively stimulate plant reproductive growth. Special attention should be paid to cold prevention in winter, and insulation measures should be taken when the temperature is lower than 15 ° C. Advanced maintenance precautions 1. Nutritional regulation: Use N-P-K=15-15-15 balanced fertilizer for long-term growth, and change it to 7-12-40 high-phosphorus potassium fertilizer during bud pregnancy period. Root health: Irrigation roots with 2000 times of hydromoxazole every quarter to prevent root rot. 3. Pruning essentials: Remove the yellow leaves at the base in time and retain the concentrated nutrients in 8-10 functional leaves. Through systematic maintenance and precise control of environmental factors, even potted lovers in the northern region can greatly increase the flowering probability of rich bamboo. Remember that the combination of patience and science will eventually reap the rare green flower shadow.
