How to grow bamboo?

Bamboo can be planted all year round, but the best time is late spring, because at this time, bamboo will resume growth, and there will be more rain in spring and summer, which is conducive to survival. You can choose rainy weather in late spring or when there is plenty of sunshine in the morning and evening.

2. Land selection and preparation

We should choose lateritic red soil with convenient transportation, slightly acidic soil (pH 4.5~6.2) and deep and fertile soil layer, and plan to build gardens on early slopes or gentle slopes and plant them in contiguous plots. When planting in flat land and gentle slope mountain area, comprehensive soil preparation should be carried out to improve soil properties. If comprehensive soil preparation is not possible, strip or block soil preparation should also be carried out, and the pit should be prepared in advance.

3. Reasonable close planting

Dendrocalamus latiflorus is generally planted with 33~42 clumps per 667 square meters, and Phyllostachys pubescens is generally cut down with 33~35 clumps per 667 square meters. Dig pits about half a month before sowing, and each pit can be added with rapeseed cake fertilizer 1kg, or compound fertilizer or phosphate fertilizer 0.5kg, or organic fertilizer 50- 100kg, and mixed with topsoil evenly. After about 65,438+0 weeks, it can be planted. Be careful not to put unpolished farmyard manure into the hole.

4. Planting method

Fill the soil immediately after placing the bamboo seedlings. The planting depth of mother bamboo seedlings is 30-40 cm, and the trace of covering soil higher than the depth of bamboo seedlings is 5- 10 cm. 5-6 sections of topsoil should be exposed at the upper end, and the bamboo piles should be covered and compacted with loose soil, and the soil should be cultivated into steamed bread shape and covered with grass to keep moisture. After planting, fully water the roots, and then water them in case of drought.

5. Planting management

After planting, for bamboo branches with large crown width, fixed brackets should be set up to prevent wind or people and animals from shaking bamboo and affecting root growth. Bamboo generally does not shed leaves and remains in a normal state. However, there are also a few bamboos that have fallen leaves because of the water supply obstacle of the root system. As long as the bamboo leaves voluntarily, it means that the bamboo has survived. If the leaves can't turn yellow, it means that bamboo has died, so it should be replanted in rainy days.

The above is the introduction of bamboo planting technology and skills. As long as bamboo survives, bamboo shoots will generally appear in the coming year, and the newly sprouted bamboo will be slightly smaller, and then return to normal year by year.

Brief introduction of bamboo

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Indian Ocean and Pacific islands. There are many kinds of bamboos, some are as low as grass and some are as tall as trees. There are many varieties, such as Phyllostachys pubescens, Dendrocalamus latiflorus, Fargesia lanceolata and so on.

Bamboo is a fast-growing herb. Its bamboo leaves are narrow and lanceolate, 7.5 ~ 16 cm long and 1 ~ 2 cm wide. Its top is tapered, its base is blunt, and its petiole is about 5 mm long. One side of the edge is smooth and the other side is rough with small serrations.

Bamboo flowers are flowers like ears of rice. Different kinds of bamboo flowers have different colors, but they are mainly yellow, green and white, and some are accompanied by red and pink.
