How to make turtle bamboo survive the winter safely
As a tropical leaf-viewing plant with great ornamental value, the winter maintenance of black bamboo is the focus of many plant lovers. How to maintain health in cold climates? This article will comprehensively analyze the practical skills of moyback bamboo in wintering from temperature control to daily maintenance. The four factors of winter conservation of horsetail bamboo accurately control the growth environment of the native tropical rainforest determines the sensitivity of horsetail bamboo to low temperatures. When the environmental temperature continues to be lower than 10℃, leaves will appear yellowing; long-term temperatures below 5℃ will lead to freezing damage. It is recommended that the northern region move indoors before the frost falls, maintain a constant temperature of 15-22℃, and pay attention to staying away from the radiator at least 2 meters. Scientific water management reduces evaporation in winter to 1/3 of that in summer. It is recommended to use the "knuckle detection method": insert the index finger into the basin soil and then water it when the second knuckle is dry. Humidifiers can be used in conjunction with cold and cold areas in the south to maintain the air humidity at 60%-70%. Wipe the leaves with a slightly moist soft cloth every week to remove dust and assist stomatal breathing. The lighting optimization plan has only 1/5 of that in summer, and the plants can be moved to the southbound window sill to receive scattered light for 4-6 hours a day. In case of continuous rainy weather, you can use LED plant fill light to replenish light for 2-3 hours a day, and keep the lamp distance above 50cm. Nutrient replenishment strategy In an environment where the room temperature is stable above 18℃, special liquid fertilizer for leaf-viewing plants diluted 1000 times can be applied every month. It is recommended to apply fertilizer in the morning on sunny days and cooperate with loosening operations to promote nutrient absorption. Fertilizer should be completely stopped during the low-temperature dormancy period to avoid root burns. Full analysis of frost damage prevention and control of green bamboo Through refined temperature control management, green bamboo can fully survive the winter safely. When transparent water stains are found on the leaf edges, the plant should be immediately moved to a warm environment, cut off the damaged leaves and seal the incisions with wax. Combined with the use of transparent insulation covers (ventilation for 2 hours a day) can help the frozen plants gradually regain their vitality.
Following the above maintenance points and regular observation of plant conditions, even zero-basic novices can let the turtle back bamboo survive gracefully. Remember the iron rule of maintenance that "temperature is the foundation, light is the guarantee, and moisture is the key", and your beloved green plants will surely be able to welcome the warm spring and bloom safely.
