Cultivation methods and precautions of hanging bamboo plum

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil

Although it does not have high requirements for soil, it is also necessary to ensure that the soil is loose and fertile. The best culture soil is a mixture of leaf mold, garden soil and river sand.

2. Sunlight

It is very afraid of strong light, so when caring for it, it needs to be placed in a cool place, but the light must be bright, otherwise it will affect its growth.

3. Temperature

It likes a warm environment, with the best temperature being between 18 and 30 degrees. In winter, to prevent it from frost damage, the temperature must be maintained above 10 degrees. If it is below 4 degrees, it will enter a dormant state. If it is below 0 degrees, it will be frozen to death.

4. Fertilization

It likes fertilizer very much and requires a lot of fertilizer and water, but you cannot apply fertilizer to it indiscriminately, such as concentrated fertilizer, nitrogen-biased, phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. Be sure to make the fertilizer concentration lower and apply it more frequently to ensure its nutritional balance.

5. Pruning

Some plants that have been grown for a long time often have leaves falling off, which affects their appearance, so it is necessary to cut off the excessively long branches and leaves to encourage new branches to sprout and grow more new leaves.

2. Precautions

1. When growing it in spring, choose a location near a window to ensure sufficient light, otherwise the stems will grow rapidly and the number of flowers will decrease.

2. It likes higher humidity. If the air is too dry, the leaves will dry easily and the tips of the leaves will turn yellow. Therefore, during the growing season, you should spray water on the leaves in time to increase the air humidity.

3. In winter, make sure the room temperature is above 5 degrees so that you can safely spend the winter. At the same time, do not water too much to prevent root rot and yellow leaves.

4. During its growth, in order to ensure that its branches and leaves are well-shaped, when the stems grow to 20 to 30 centimeters, they need to be properly pinched to promote the sprouting of new branches, otherwise the branches will grow thin, thus affecting the appearance.
