How about raising Zizhu at home?

Just keep purple bamboo at home. Phyllostachys pubescens is suitable to be planted between rocks in the courtyard or beside the study, hall, path and pool. It can also be placed in front of the window and used indoors as a potted plant. Because it is a green plant, it can absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen and improve the indoor environment. Purple bamboo has dark purple stems and green leaves. If it is planted in the courtyard for viewing, it can be planted in the garden with bamboo species with bright stems such as yellow ditch bamboo, gold inlaid jade bamboo and spotted bamboo.

Phyllostachys pubescens, also known as black bamboo and black bamboo, belongs to Phyllostachys of Gramineae. Its new stalks are green, and its 2-year-old stalks gradually turn purple-black. Strong cold resistance, can withstand the low temperature of MINUS 20℃, and is cultivated all over the south. Purple bamboo has beautiful branches and is an excellent bamboo species for landscaping. Purple bamboo is purple-black, which has a strong classical charm. It is a high-quality raw material for bamboo weaving in Dongyang. In order to meet the needs of foreign trade processing of bamboo weaving in Dongyang, Dongyang Forestry Bureau has established 1000 mu raw material forest base in Houmu, Dongshangzhai and Houshanding villages in Zuocun mountain area since last year. Despite the rare high temperature and dry weather in previous years, due to scientific planting and good management, the survival rate of 87% has been maintained, and a number of new bamboos have grown.

The altitude of Phyllostachys pubescens afforestation land should be controlled at about 200-500 meters, and the middle and lower parts of hilly slopes and gentle slopes on both sides of rivers and streams should be selected. The thickness of soil layer should be greater than 60 cm, and the land with loose and fertile soil and convenient irrigation and drainage should be selected. The soil is dry and barren, with too much gravel or too sticky, so the limestone mountain area is not suitable for afforestation.

The mother bamboo must be a robust 1-2-year-old bamboo with lush foliage, low branches and no pests and diseases. The thickness of mother bamboo should be moderate, neither too big nor too small, and the best DBH is about 2-3 cm. The key to digging mother bamboo is to prevent the bud eye (bamboo shoot bud) from destroying the stem base. Keep the fibrous roots as much as possible, do not split or tear the stems and bases, and bring as much soil as possible. After the mother bamboo is dug out, it is cut obliquely at the position of bamboo pole1-1.5m. The cut is horse-ear-shaped, and pay attention to that the cut is not in the same direction as the bud on the bamboo pole. The buds on the bamboo stem are best on both sides of the incision, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of branches and leaves after planting. Mother bamboo should be transported with the excavation. If you can't plant it all at once, you should put it in a cool and rain-proof place, or cover it with straw and water it regularly. Long-distance transportation requires soil patting and topdressing to prevent roots and buds from drying up.

The quality of afforestation and soil preparation not only affects the survival rate, but also directly affects the speed of forest formation and bamboo shoot yield. In order to prevent soil erosion, zonal contour lines are usually used for soil preparation in mountainous areas, and the bandwidth is1-1.5m. The zonal spacing mainly depends on the designed afforestation density, the configuration of planting points and the slope of afforestation. Generally, in places with steep slope, sparse vegetation and serious soil erosion, the width of belt spacing can be larger to store water and protect soil. In places with steep slopes, vegetation (grass) between belts can only be mowed in the first year, but not dug to avoid soil erosion. After the bamboo seedlings survive and grow, they are dug up year by year through tending in the second to third years. Block soil preparation can be used in gentle slope of valley or alluvial area of river bank. When digging a planting hole on a slope, the long side of the hole should be parallel to the contour line, and the size of the hole depends on the size of the mother bamboo stump. Generally, the length, width and depth of a hole are 70cm× 60cm× 40cm. When digging a pit, the topsoil and subsoil should be placed on both sides of the pit, so that the topsoil can be covered on the bamboo pile before returning the soil. The roots of stones, weeds and shrubs in planting holes should be removed. The top soil is filled at the bottom of the cave, which is beneficial to the decomposition of organic matter; The subsoil turns to the surface, which is beneficial to mineral weathering. Soil preparation and planting hole digging should be carried out before freezing in winter, that is, from February to 1 month in Gregorian calendar 65438. In this way, after a winter frost and rain, the clods will naturally be crushed, which is conducive to afforestation in the coming year.

Bamboo should be planted in early spring and February, and it can also be planted in Mei season if there is enough rain. Pay attention to atmospheric changes when planting, and avoid planting in continuous dry weather. The planting density of Phyllostachys pubescens in general suitable area is 60-80 plants per mu. Usually, if the site conditions are good, the afforestation density will be smaller, and if the site conditions are poor, the density will be larger. Where conditions permit, decomposed miscellaneous fertilizers can be applied at the bottom of the cave, each cave 15-25 kg, and mixed with topsoil. According to the size of the bamboo pile, trim the planting hole properly, fill the hole bottom with fine soil, untie the bandage, put down the mother bamboo and let the whip root stretch naturally. When the bamboo pile is covered with soil, the fine soil should be closely combined with it, and the seedlings should be properly raised. The surface of the soil should be covered for the second time, and then the core soil should be covered until the hole surface is curved to avoid water accumulation in the hole.

The key to the survival and growth of bamboo seedlings lies in management, and more attention should be paid to management to ensure stable and high yield of bamboo forests. If the weather is dry after planting, water it in time. Cattle and sheep should be prohibited from entering the young forest land, and supports should be set at the edge of bamboo seedlings if possible to prevent the wind from blowing bamboo. In order to improve the survival rate, accelerate the growth of bamboo forest and put it into production as soon as possible, irrigation, intercropping among bamboos, loosening soil and weeding, fertilization and protection should be done seriously for the newly-built bamboo forest.

Phyllostachys pubescens is easy to breed, fast to grow, high in yield, low in investment and quick in income. Generally, it can achieve the effect of "planting bamboo in 1 year, gardening in 3 years, income in 5 years, and high yield in 10 year".
