Bamboo Phyllostachys繁殖
The editor will tell you about the topic of bamboo Phyllostachys propagation knowledge. The propagation of bamboo Phyllostachys is introduced as follows:
Bamboo Phyllostachys, also known as Guanyin bamboo, is native to southern China. It prefers a warm and humid environment with semi-shade, has poor cold resistance, does not tolerate strong sunlight exposure, is afraid of waterlogging, and is suitable for fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. The temperature in winter should not be lower than 0 degrees Celsius. The bamboo Phyllostachys has dense clusters, short culms, and beautiful branches and leaves, often used for potted plants to decorate small courtyards and living rooms, and is also commonly used to make bonsai or as low矮 green hedge material.
Bamboo Phyllostachys can be propagated by division, seeds, and cutting. However, due to the difficulty in obtaining seeds from bamboo and the difficulty in rooting from cuttings, division is the main method of propagation.
Division Propagation
This can be done in early spring (February-March) when changing pots. During division, the overgrown clusters are turned out from the pot, cut from the rhizome with a knife, and replanted in another pot. Be careful not to damage the roots. When cutting, make sure that each shoot has at least one old bamboo stem and try to keep the fibrous roots to ensure survival. The newly divided plants should be planted in a pot of appropriate size, fertilized with rich soil, watered, kept moist, and placed in a semi-shaded area for maintenance. The shoots will grow rapidly.
Seed Propagation
It should be done in April-May, and the seeds should be soaked in warm water for 1-2 days before sowing. The seeds can germinate after about 40 days. The seedlings grow slowly and can be transplanted after about half a year.
Cutting Propagation
Bamboo Phyllostachys usually adopts vertical cutting propagation and is not suitable for the horizontal burial method. The cutting time is better in March-April in spring or July-August in summer. The matrix uses clean sand or mountain soil, with a cutting thickness of about 15 centimeters, the bottom with coarse particles, and the top with smaller particles, convenient for water permeability and easy control of the water content of the matrix. The cuttings are cut from the stems of 2-3-year-old bamboo Phyllostachys, with each cutting taking a single node or 2 to 3 nodes as needed. The bottom of the stem node is empty for 2-2.5 centimeters to be buried in the soil. The upper stem node is empty for 1 centimeter to prevent water loss from the stem node. When cutting, the 2.5 centimeters empty stem at the bottom is inserted into the soil, and the bottom stem node is also inserted into the soil for 1 centimeter. Inserting the stem node too deep or too shallow is not easy to manage. The root formation part of bamboo Phyllostachys is at the stem node. Inserting it too deep into the soil is prone to overwet and deterioration, and inserting it too shallow is not conducive to moisture retention. After finishing the cutting, it is necessary to increase the humidity around the cutting bed, spray 6-7 times a day to keep the humidity at 85%, and shade 9 to 8 tenths of the light to reduce water consumption and facilitate root formation. Under suitable temperature conditions, roots can be formed in 25-30 days.
