Fertilization techniques

Apply base fertilizer

The pot of brown bamboo is generally changed once every two years. During this period, it is very important to ensure that there are enough nutrients in the pot soil to supply the growth of brown bamboo. When changing pots every year, add cake fertilizer to the soil and stir evenly, or add a certain slow-release fertilizer. If the base fertilizer is applied well, the fertilization cycle can be appropriately extended in the later maintenance process

Fertilization frequency

It is generally required to apply fertilizer once every 15 ~ 20 days, irrigate roots or apply granular fertilizer. Spray foliar fertilizer once every 10 ~ 15 days, and the two methods are used alternately

Fertilization method

According to the principle of applying small amount of fertilizer for many times and thin fertilizer frequently, select organic fertilizer and high-efficiency phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and supplement trace elements appropriately. 15 ~ 20 days, suitable for one-time corrosion of cake fertilizer or rapeseed cake fertilizer, 20 ~ 30g per pot, a small amount of ferrous sulfate 5g

You can also spray 800 times of flower specific gaomeishi organic humic acid active liquid fertilizer aqueous solution on the leaf surface every 10 ~ 15 days, and spray all leaves evenly, so as to start dripping water droplets

Watering skills

Watering frequency

Brown bamboo grows rapidly with more leaves and large water demand. During the growth period, it is necessary to ensure sufficient water and keep the basin soil relatively wet. Do not seriously lack water or dry crack the basin soil. Once the root is damaged, it takes a long time to recover. Generally, clean water is poured once every 2 ~ 3 days, about 2 ~ 3kg per basin, so that the water can fully soak the basin soil without ponding

Spray water

The transpiration of brown bamboo leaves is strong. In the high-temperature season in summer and windy weather in spring and winter, pay attention to timely replenishment of water. Spray water to the leaf surface properly and wet all leaves evenly. It is appropriate to have water droplets dripping downward

And improve the air humidity around potted brown bamboo to prevent leaf injury in dry weather. Spray water at least 2 ~ 3 times a day

In short, brown bamboo should be watered more during the growth period from May to September to keep the soil moist. It is better to be wet than dry, but there should be no ponding, otherwise it is easy to rot its roots
