With people's pursuit of quality of life, indoor potted plants are becoming more and more popular. Wuzhu, as a popular indoor leaf-viewing plant in recent years, has become a new favorite of many flower friends with its unique shape and easy-to-maintain characteristics. This article will introduce you in detail the breeding methods of potted Wuzhu. Help you easily grow green "little bamboo" at home. Choosing the right planting container Choosing a suitable planting container is crucial for the growth of bamboo. Bamboo likes soil with good drainage and strong air permeability. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a ceramic or plastic basin with drainage holes at the bottom. The size of the container should be slightly larger than the root system of bamboo to facilitate the growth of the root system. Soil selection and preparation Wu bamboo is suitable for growing in loose, breathable and well-drained soil. You can choose the soil for indoor leaf-viewing plants on the market, or make it yourself. You can use carrious soil, garden soil, river sand, etc. Mix in proportion, and the general ratio is 2:1:1. Light and temperature Wu bamboo prefers a semi-cloudy environment, but it should not be in the dark for a long time. During the breeding process, it should be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light to avoid direct sunlight. The suitable growth temperature for Wu bamboo is 15-25℃, and the winter temperature should not be lower than 5℃. Watering and fertilization are the key links in cultivating bamboo. Keep the soil slightly moist to avoid excessive watering causing root rot. When high temperatures in summer, the watering frequency can be appropriately increased; when low temperatures in winter, the number of watering should be reduced. In terms of fertilization, you can apply compound fertilizer once a month, and be careful not to overapply fertilizer. Pruning and pest control During the growth process of Wu bamboo, timely pruning can maintain its beautiful shape. When the branches and leaves are too long or too dense, appropriate pruning can be carried out. During the breeding process, attention should be paid to observe whether there are pests and diseases in Wu bamboo. If pests and diseases are found, timely measures should be taken, such as cutting off sick leaves, spraying pesticides, etc. Breeding methods There are two main breeding methods of Wuzhu: subplant and cuttage. Subplant breeding is suitable for plants that have been growing for many years. The root system can be divided into several sections and planted separately. Cutting breeding is suitable for twigs. After cutting, the twigs are inserted into the soil and can grow independently after taking root.
Through the above introduction, I believe you have a comprehensive understanding of the breeding methods of potted bamboo. As long as you master the planting skills, I believe you can easily grow green "little bamboo" at home. Let us enjoy cultivating bamboo together. Fun!
