Soil requirements

The soil for planting brown bamboo can be leaf mold soil + garden soil + river sand, and mix it evenly. When planting, add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil and use a burnt clay pot as the flower pot.

Light requirements

Brown bamboo is a southern plant and should be maintained in a warm, humid, ventilated and shaded environment. On weekdays, avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow. The flowerpot should be placed in the shade of a tree. Brown bamboo grows slowly, especially in summer when the sun is strong and the shading degree is above 50%.

Watering method

In summer, the temperature is high and the soil tends to dry out. Water should be poured in the morning and evening, and the leaves should be sprayed with water.

Don’t water too frequently in spring and autumn. Just keep the pot soil moist and ensure that there is no accumulation of water in the pot soil. Standing water can cause root rot.

Properly control watering in winter. Do not water as long as it is not extremely dry. Try to add water at noon on a sunny day.

Fertilization method

Apply decomposed liquid fertilizer once every 3 to 4 weeks in spring and autumn to promote plant growth.

In summer, apply thin fertilizer frequently and add a small amount of ferrous sulfate to the fertilizer to promote green leaves. Fertilize 1 to 2 times a month.

In May, you can water paclobutrazol, which can effectively control the height of the plants and make them short and sturdy.

Pruning and repotting

Pruning palm bamboo is very simple. The main thing is to cut off the yellow leaves so that there is a sense of hierarchy between the branches.

Change the pot every two years, and divide the new plants appropriately. The time for repotting is usually from March to April every year. Part of the old soil is replaced, disinfected and then planted.

Notes

During the growth period of brown bamboo, water should be frequently sprayed on the leaves of the plant, which is suitable for potted plants.

The amount of fertilizer should be small and frequent. Mainly organic fertilizers, supplemented by trace amounts of fertilizers.

Brown bamboo needs a lot of water. When watering, remember to pour water from the growing point of the palm downward, allowing the water to flow from top to bottom to the roots to maintain the humidity in the pot.
