Specific measures

Temperature

It is best to bring potted purple bamboo indoors for the winter. However, in order to allow the plants to slowly adapt to the rise in temperature, regular ventilation can be provided when the plants are just moved indoors to avoid unnecessary damage caused by a sudden rise in temperature. For ground-planted purple bamboo, you can bury the roots of the plant deeply or cover them with plastic film for the winter.

Moisture

The temperature is low in winter. The amount of evaporation is small, so reduce the frequency of watering, no watering or even less watering, and don't let the soil in the flower pot get too dry. However, if you put the plants indoors, you can spray water around them to increase the humidity.

Nutrition

The consumption of nutrients is small in winter. Some potassium fertilizer can be applied appropriately to increase their cold-proof performance. But be careful not to use too much.

Ventilation

In winter, indoors Doors and windows are usually closed tightly, preventing air circulation, which is extremely bad for plants. Therefore, it is enough to open the doors and windows once or twice a day for about half an hour each time. If the temperature is really too low, you can turn it on once a day and reduce the time accordingly. However, it is inappropriate not to open it.

Light

When talking about the growth habits of purple bamboo, we said that it is a light-loving plant. Therefore, winter light is a necessity for it. Generally, plants are allowed to receive light when the sun is shining at noon, but attention should be paid to even light exposure.

Notes

Purple bamboo is suitable for growth In a relatively warm place with sufficient sunlight, usually fifteen to twenty degrees, it is not very cold-tolerant. In winter, growers in very cold areas in the north must help them survive the winter; while in southern areas where winter temperatures are not too low, no special measures are needed.
