selection basin

is phoenix tail bamboo selection basin, two words: flavor!

If you choose square or oval pots to plant Phoenix,The quaint charm is on fire.

with soil

It feels like bamboo plants are "thin and thin, with roots", and they require very strong roots on the soil.

If other plants compete with them for soil nutrients, bamboos will never lose.

So, it’s easy and simple. Let’s choose loose, fertile, and well-drained soil.

transplanting

First of all, we have to choose one or two year old, well-developed root bamboo with bamboo whip , and dig the roots together.

When transplanting, three details are very important.

First, the roots of the phoenix tail should have the soil;

the second, the trunk of the phoenix should be short; It is advisable to leave the potted plant to dry about 50 cm.

Finally, the director suggested that Taiwanese friends should first plant in small tile pots and then plant them in shallow pots after survival.

This trouble is a little troublesome, but the survival rate is higher, and the completion effect is better!

fertilize

However, the "bamboo" used to make bonsai must be controlled in terms of "body and body shape". Use as little fertilizer as possible and apply only thin fertilizer.

Uh, it’s not enough if you don’t get fat at all. Even if you don’t grow up, you have to absorb nutrients and live a healthy life.

Therefore, Taiwanese friends can apply thinly decomposed cake fertilizer and water to the phoenix bamboo from May to August every year.

Alas, if the nutrient in the potting soil of Pteris vulgaris is insufficient, it will cause the yellow leaves and dead branches to grow poorly.

watering

watering the phoenix bamboo,This question is very simple.

First, watering and spraying frequently during the period of vigorous growth or high temperature in summer.

Second, while watering, avoid water accumulation in the basin, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots.

Just these two points, just control them!

reproduction

However, vertical cutting propagation is generally adopted, and it is inconvenient to use horizontal cutting propagation.

Cutting preparation

Selection timing: cutting time is better in spring from March to April or summer from July to August.

Substrate preparation: use clean sand or mountain mud, the thickness of the skewer is about 15 cm, coarse grains for the bottom and smaller grains for the upper part to facilitate water seepage and easy control of the water content of the substrate.

Cutting preparation: Cut the stems of two or three-year-old Phoenixtail bamboo, and take a single section or 2 to 3 sections for each cutting section as needed.

2~2.5 cm below the stem section at the bottom for burying in the soil.

The upper stem node is 1 cm empty to prevent the stem node from losing water.

attention to details three cuttings

1. Cutting depth

cuttings, the stem bottom blank Insert the 2.5 cm stem into the soil, and insert the bottom stem node 1 cm into the soil.

Remember, it is difficult to manage if the stems of phoenix tail are inserted too deep or too shallow.

The rooting part of Phoenixtail bamboo is in the stem section. If it is inserted into the soil too deep, it will become too wet and deteriorate. If it is inserted into the soil too shallowly, it is not conducive to maintaining humidity.

2. Maintain humidity

After cutting, we must ensure that the air humidity around the slotting bed increases.Spray 6-7 times a day to keep the air humidity at 85%.

3. Cover the light

At the same time, cover 9/10 to 8/10 of the light to reduce water consumption and facilitate rooting.

In the case of suitable temperature, it can take root within 25-30 days.

Every 2 to 3 years, the phoenix bamboo shall be replaced once. This is a rigid requirement, otherwise its state will start to decline again.

The best time for rebasing can be positioned in April to May.

1. Take out the old bamboo, peel off the soil, cut off the small underground stems and old bamboo.

2. Take this opportunity,Add some loam to the original soil.

3. After finishing repotting, put the phoenix bonsai in the shade, keep the pot soil moist, and spray the leaf surface water frequently.

Obviously, the purpose of this is to avoid the shrinkage of the leaves of P. chinensis.

In other words, the maintenance and management of Phoenixtail bamboo is very simple, which is very suitable for beginners.

: 1. Keep the pot soil moist during the growth period; 2. Keep the soil in the half shade; 3. Spray water frequently on the leaves; 4. Apply fertilizer once a month; 4. Move indoors in winter Xiangyang... It's almost enough to raise it like this.

Shape it, and it’s yourself!

Phoenix-tailed bamboo is evergreen all year round, green and lovely, with thin and short poles, narrow and small leaves, made into miniature bonsai, petite and exquisite, with a leisurely and elegant body. It is multi-purpose and placed on the balcony, desk, and window of the family study Wait.

with rocks

The phoenix tail bamboo bonsai pays attention to gesture and charm,The skill must be upright and down, dense and dense, and uneven. The shape can be matched with rocks, which can change the landscape, make the composition more perfect, and feel the taste of the mountains and the wild.

The contrast of color and texture makes the bamboo look greener and more delicate.
