What are the cultivation methods and precautions of cloud bamboo?

How to cultivate cloud bamboo

Cloud bamboo likes a warm, humid, sunny environment. It tolerates partial shade and avoids direct sunlight. The soil requires good ventilation and avoids waterlogging and is cold-resistant.

illumination

Generally, you only need to expose the cloud bamboo to some morning sunlight, because its demand for sunlight is relatively limited. Most of the time, it is better to cultivate it in a cool place indoors, but it will not work without sunlight.

soil

It is generally best to choose to use nutrient soil to grow cloud bamboo, because its nutritional requirements are relatively high. In the early stages of breeding, using nutrient soil can ensure sufficient nutrients, which we need to know.

Watering

When watering cloud bamboo on a normal day, the frequency does not need to be so high, because cloud bamboo does not have such a high demand for water. We usually water it 2-3 times a week, and just keep the soil moist each time.

Fertilization

Although cloud bamboo does not like fertilizer, it still needs intermittent fertilization. Usually, the method of small amounts and multiple applications is adopted. The time for fertilization is once a month. Thin liquid fertilizer is mainly selected. Nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer can be added in the later stage. After diluting it with clean water, spray it on the surface of the soil.

prune

Cloud bamboo that is over one year old needs regular pruning, which can be done according to the node distance and the general shape of the branches and leaves. The recommended pruning style is grand and simple. In the later stage of pruning, the main purpose is to remove the new buds.

Precautions for cultivating cloud bamboo

Remember to move the flowerpot when the cloud bamboo blooms, and move it into the greenhouse during the Cold Dew season. Yellowing and falling leaves during cultivation are mainly caused by dry soil in the pot, improper fertilization or poor management in winter. It is necessary to find out the specific reasons and take measures. In addition, the plant is easily damaged by scale insects, which will cause yellowing of branches and leaves. You can spray pesticides to prevent and control them.
