breeding method
Fu Guizhu is propagated by cutting. Pruning is combined with plastic pruning. As the plant grows taller for many years, the leaves at the base of the stem often fall off and the plant type becomes worse. During the growing season, the stem can be cut to a length of 5- 10 cm for cutting, and it can be inserted into vermiculite or river sand, and it usually takes 1-2 weeks to take root and sprout.
Planting method
Fugui bamboo likes humidity and high temperature, and has strong waterlogging resistance, fertilizer resistance and cold resistance. I like a semi-shady environment. Suitable for growing in well-drained sandy soil or semi-muddy sand and alluvial clay. The suitable growth temperature is 20-28℃, which can withstand the low temperature of 2-3℃, but pay attention to frost prevention in winter. The season of high temperature and high humidity in summer and autumn is very beneficial to the growth of Fu Guizhu, which is the best period for its growth. It does not need strict illumination and is suitable for growing under bright scattered light. Excessive light and exposure can cause leaves to turn yellow, fade green and grow slowly.
