How to make the hanging bamboo more beautiful?
Today, I will elaborate for netizens on how to make the hanging bamboo more beautiful and share experiences in green plant maintenance. Next, the editor will introduce to everyone.
I have cultivated hanging bamboo before and found it to be highly adaptable and easy to care for. However, to make its leaves more vibrant, it indeed requires careful attention in terms of potting soil, lighting, watering, fertilizing, and preventing diseases and pests. Below, I will share my immature experiences in cultivating hanging bamboo with you for everyone's discussion and learning.
Hanging bamboo prefers a warm, humid, semi-shaded, semi-sunny, and well-ventilated environment. It dislikes dry, strong sunlight, exposure to direct sunlight, and harsh cold environments. A temperature range of 15-25°C is most suitable for its growth, and it needs to be kept warm and protected from frost damage below 5°C in winter. Hanging bamboo likes loose, fertile, well-ventilated, and well-draining soil. A mixture of garden soil, humus soil, and river sand in a ratio of 5:4:1 is fine, and it is best to add an appropriate amount of fermented and decomposed organic farm manure to the potting soil to ensure the longevity of the base soil.
Hanging bamboo enjoys moisture. During the growing season, water it once a day, preferably using a spray bottle to sprinkle water mist on the leaves, keeping the surrounding air moist to make the leaves look more vibrant. In the summer, when temperatures are high and water evaporates quickly, it is recommended to water once in the evening. In winter, water less and keep the potting soil slightly dry. Be careful not to let water accumulate in the pot, as it can cause root rot and leaf withering. Hanging bamboo likes fertilizer. During the growing season, a diluted phosphorus-potassium liquid fertilizer can be applied every 20 days or so. It is best not to fertilize in the summer and winter. Be careful not to apply too much, as it can burn the plant's roots, leading to withered branches and leaves. Also, be mindful of preventing diseases and pests. Hanging bamboo is prone to scale insects, which can be wiped off with a towel or removed using pesticides like Scale Eradicator or Chlorpyrifos. I am from a second-generation grain farmer, and these are my personal opinions, for reference only.
