How does bamboo grow? Does it have seeds?

Bamboo has seeds, its seeds are called bamboo rice, but few people see its seeds, because bamboo will be cut down when it grows to a certain height. Their seeds will not appear until flowering, but it takes 50- 100 years for bamboo to blossom and bear fruit. And bamboo will die after flowering. After death, the seeds of bamboo fall to the ground to sprout and take root, and the end of life also represents the beginning of new life.

1. Bamboo is the general name of Gramineae plant Zhuzhisubfamily, which is distributed in subtropical areas, also known as bamboo or bamboo. Some are as low as grass and some are as tall as trees. It usually grows by creeping rhizomes underground. It can also be propagated by flowering and seed setting. It is a perennial plant. Some kinds of bamboo shoots are edible. There are about 150 genera and 1225 species in the world. Bamboo is mainly distributed in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate regions between 46 degrees north latitude and 47 degrees south latitude. The native bamboo species of the Fourth Ice Age can be found on all continents except Europe.

Second, the morphological characteristics:

Bamboo is evergreen, tall and beautiful, colorful and changeable. Bamboo has beautiful and slender branches and leaves; Qin, silk, bamboo, and gold branches are inlaid with green lines; Xiangfeizhu, mottled branches, beautiful and graceful; Bitter bamboo with mottled leaves with mottled patterns; Purple bamboo, yellow bamboo and red bamboo have purple, yellow and purple branches respectively; Flower-shaped bamboo with yellow lines on green bamboo poles; Buddha's belly bamboo, with short and thick branches, protrudes outward, like a big belly of Lohan. In addition, there are Long Lin Bamboo, Jasper Bamboo, Chicken Claw Bamboo and so on, which are also rare varieties of bamboo.

Third, the planting method of bamboo.

1, planting time

Bamboo has seeds and needs to be planted in time, and the best time is August -65438+ 10. At this time, the temperature is suitable and the air humidity is high, which is beneficial to plant growth and can improve the survival rate. If it is planted in summer, the seeds are not resistant to high temperature, resulting in failure to survive.

2. Raise seedlings in advance

Bamboo seedlings can be raised by dividing plants and burying branches. Branching method can cut off the roots at the bottom of the stem with a knife and then plant them. The method of burying branches is to select the healthiest bamboo and divide it into 5-6 segments for seedling raising, and the corresponding method can be selected according to the actual situation.

3. Planting method

Plant bamboo seedlings in suitable soil, then fill the gap with hands and compact it. Thoroughly irrigate the soil to promote the rooting of plants and avoid direct sunlight. At this time, plants are fragile, which will lead to the decline of survival rate, and then gradually increase the light with the growth of plants.

4. Preventive measures

Bamboo likes fertile and loose acidic sandy soil, but alkaline soil is not suitable for use. After planting, water regularly according to the growth situation. When the weather is hot in summer, in addition to watering, we should prepare for shading and preventing pests and diseases in advance.
