Some friends' potted bamboo (Asparagus setaceus) can be raised on the balcony or window sill, even if it is a potted maintenance, the bamboo can grow into a vine. Its plants can grow to the roof, and some friends' potted bamboo plants are short, growing to more than 10 centimeters high, and the yellow leaves are constantly in condition, why is the difference between different potted bamboo so big?
1. Maintain the environment
If you want to raise potted bamboo, you must understand the requirements of this plant for the environment, it is very fond of plenty of sunlight, if it is planted on the ground to maintain bamboo, even if it is exposed to the sun, it does not matter.
For potted bamboo maintenance, it is recommended to give more soft light and avoid strong direct light, so as to ensure that it grows rapidly, and the branches or new branches and leaves will grow out quickly.
In addition, pay attention to maintaining a high speed of good ventilation and warm environment, followed by supplementary fertilizer, Wenzhu is not too high on the environment, but why do yellow leaves always appear? This situation is actually due to unreasonable watering (too much water or prolonged drought), or it may be that the air is overly dry.
2. Pay attention to watering
Wenzhu is more like water, if the soil is long-term drought, or the usual watering is not completely watered, its roots are not full of water, it is easy to cause some leaves to yellow, the top tip of the branch leaves appear yellow, wilting situation, this situation will gradually aggravate, and eventually lead to the integration of plant wilting.
Proper sunlight
3, give more scattered light
Wenzhu is still more like the sun, can not be raised in excessive shade, raised in the light is definitely not good, it is best to have more than 3 to 8 hours of scattered light every day, which can promote the rapid growth of branches and leaves, keep the leaf state better. If there is a lack of light, it will not only lead to the dull color of the leaves of the bamboo, but also lead to the continuous yellowing of the leaves, and it is also more likely to have the problem of rotten roots.
4. Temperature and humidity
Maintenance of potted bamboo should also pay attention to maintaining a warm environment, in addition to maintaining a warm ambient temperature, maintaining more than 10 degrees, but also pay attention to maintaining a high air humidity, the relative humidity of the environment is best maintained at more than 65%, if the air humidity is lower than 40% for a long time, it is also easy to appear yellow leaves and plant wilting.
The soil drainage of the cultivated potted bamboo must be good, it is a fleshy root plant, it is very afraid of the soil continuing to be wet or waterlogged, and the bottom of the pot should also have a large drainage hole, as long as the soil is avoided continuously wet or waterlogged, it can prevent the problem of rotten roots.
If you want to increase the ambient humidity, you can open a humidifier. In the case of particularly good weather, the moisture can be dried relatively quickly, you can often spray water around, and even give it spray water sooner or later, it does not matter directly sprayed on the leaves, pay attention to the leaves do not have long-term residual water, otherwise it will breed diseases. Don't spray it when it's too cold.
5. The skill of propagating bamboo
If you want to propagate the potted bamboo is also relatively simple, it rarely breeds small berries, it is difficult to collect the seeds of the bamboo, so it will generally rely on the method of dividing the plant for propagation.

Potted bamboo will grow new plants directly from the stem at the bottom of the rhizome, so as long as the plant grows strong, the stem and leaves grow luxuriantly, and the root system grows particularly developed, it can be propagated in the spring every year (the temperature is above 18 degrees). When the plant is propagated, the plant is depoted, the appropriate old soil is removed, and then its rhizome is cut directly from the root whiskers at the bottom with a sharp knife, divided into several parts, to ensure that each plant has more roots, stems and leaves, so that the plant can quickly resume growth after transplanting.
In the later stage, as long as the separated bamboo plants are transplanted into the new pot soil, watered in time, and maintained a humidity and warm environment, the new potted plants can soon serve the pots.
In fact, as long as the temperature can be maintained at 20 to 25 degrees, it can be propagated in separate plants throughout the year. However, when the summer is too hot or the winter is relatively cold, the success rate of propagation will be very low.
In the first few days before the potted bamboo is propagated separately, it is necessary to pay attention to replenishing its water, so that its root system is full of water, and then stop watering after a few days, which can help protect the root system and the rhizome from pressure when cutting.
Do not use too large pots for planting transplanted wenzhu new plants, and water them in time after planting, and you can water a rooting solution. The knife used to cut the bamboo should be sharp and pre-sterilized to avoid carrying germs.
