Bamboo has always been green since it grew out of the soil. It is simple and elegant. It is not as magnificent as peony, nor as lofty as pine and cypress, nor as delicate and fragrant as peaches and plums, but its elegant and refined character is sought after and loved by the world.
Bamboo can be planted in the yard, in front of and behind the house, or in flowerpots for indoor viewing. The planting of bamboo bonsai should pay attention to proper density, strewn at random, and the overall appearance is natural and beautiful, but the most important and difficult thing is the dwarfing skill of bamboo bonsai.
1, select the appropriate variety.
If you use bamboo as an indoor bonsai, you should choose the right variety. Choose the kind of bamboo with peculiar dry form, narrow leaves and slow growth, such as arhat bamboo, pot-bellied Buddha bamboo, Guanyin bamboo, purple bamboo, rice bamboo and so on. These bamboos are suitable for potted plants and indoor conservation.
2. Choose shallow pot planting.
When bamboo is potted, in order to increase the survival rate, it can be planted in ordinary pots and then transplanted into shallow flowerpots. Choose acidic, slightly acidic or neutral soil as matrix soil, and don't put too much soil in the flowerpot. If there is too much soil in the pot, the growth rate of roots will be accelerated, and the height of bamboo will be difficult to control.
3. Small bamboo shoots should be preserved as much as possible.
After the potted bamboo survives, new bamboo shoots can be seen in April-September of the following year, and reach the peak in July-August. At this time, there are not only many bamboo shoots, but also short and thick internodes, and the finished bamboo is of good quality. You can try to choose some good quality and good location.
4. Do a good job of controlling water and applying less fertilizer.
Bamboo likes humid environment, but it is not allowed to accumulate water. After the pot is watered and permeable, it can be completely dried. In the germination and vigorous growth period of new bamboo shoots, it is necessary to control the watering amount, keep the basin soil dry, get more sunshine, control the top growth, and promote the purpose of dwarfing and strengthening; Similarly, bamboo also likes fertilizer, but it should be applied thinly and diligently, mainly organic fertilizer, and appropriate phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer can be applied to promote its short and strong.
5, new bamboo shoots should be properly peeled.
The quality of the new bamboo shoots mentioned in the third point should be preserved as much as possible. After 65,438+00 days of excavation, when they grow to about 65,438+00 cm, the outermost layer of bamboo shoots can be peeled from bottom to top every 65,438+0-2 days according to the actual growth situation. Doing so can make them mature ahead of time, inhibit growth and accelerate dwarfing.
6. Reasonable shaping and pruning
When planting bamboo bonsai, it is generally odd, so it is better to leave 3, 5 or 7 bamboo shoots. The rest, such as thin growth, improper position, too dense growth and bad appearance, should be cut off in time. When Zuohao bamboo shoots grow to an ideal height, the top of them should be cut off first to promote the germination of lateral branches. When the lateral branches grow to a certain height, cut off their tops. After several times, the ideal bamboo shape came out.
