Planting methods and precautions of Phoenix bamboo potted plants

The plants of Phoenix Tail Bamboo can grow to be extremely tall, even several meters high. There are ridges at the nodes of the stems. If one or two plants are well cared for, they can grow into a large clump. Although it is a plant native to the south, many friends in the north also like to grow a pot of it on the balcony, courtyard, and terrace.

How to plant potted Phoenix bamboo

1. Temperature

Phoenix bamboo is suitable for growing in warm places, so that its leaves can remain evergreen all year round and grow faster. If it is planted in a cold place, the leaves will fall off in winter, but don't worry, new leaves will grow in the spring and the normal growth rate will be restored.

2. Moisture

The step of watering the Phoenix Tail Bamboo is particularly important. Although the potting soil is usually kept slightly moist, there should be no water accumulation. Wait until the potting soil is slightly dry before watering it thoroughly. Spring and summer are the peak seasons for growth, and the water demand is relatively large, so you need to water it more, and in autumn and winter, you need to control the water in time.

Precautions for the maintenance of Phoenix bamboo

If the plants are crowded, they should be divided and replanted separately. When the branches grow too messy, they should be properly pruned. Secondly, it does not need to be repotted every year. Generally, it only needs to be repotted once every two years. Secondly, Phoenix Bamboo should avoid heavy sticky and alkaline soil.
