Fugui bamboo, with its auspicious meaning and elegant posture, has become the first choice for hydroponic green plants in many families. If you want to make the newly bought Fugui bamboo take root quickly and grow healthily, just follow the following three simple steps, plug it in for 7 days and take root, let's take a look!
Step 1: Prepare carefully, clean first
When you first bring Fugui bamboo home, the first thing to do is to "lighten the burden" for it. Gently clean the leaves below the bottle mouth to avoid rotting caused by soaking in water, while keeping the water clean and reducing the chance of bacterial growth. Next, each root is obliquely cut, which not only increases the water absorption area, but also facilitates the germination of new roots.
Step 2: Scientific conservation, water quality is the key
In the initial maintenance, the choice of water quality is crucial. In the first 3-4 days of rooting, it is recommended to use mineral water instead of tap water to avoid the adverse effects of chemicals such as chlorine in tap water on the root system. The amount of water is controlled to about 1/3 of the bottle, too much may lead to a lack of oxygen in the roots. After the roots grow, the frequency of water change can be adjusted to once every half a month, at this time, Fugui bamboo has a strong self-regulation ability, excessive water change may interfere with its growth rhythm.
Step 3: Moderate management and wait for growth
Fugui bamboo prefers a semi-shady environment and avoids direct exposure to strong sunlight to avoid leaf burns. During daily maintenance, if yellow leaves are found, prune them in time to maintain the overall health of the plant. Once the bamboo has begun to take root, it means that it has adapted to the hydroponic environment, and the frequency of water changes can be further reduced to once a month, and mineral water can be used to keep the water clean. For healthy roots that have already grown, there is no need to cut them again, just clean up the bad roots and black roots to ensure that the roots are healthy.
Note that the water can be changed once a week in the initial stage, and gradually reduce the number of water changes after rooting to avoid unnecessary disturbance of the root system caused by frequent water changes. The water level is always maintained above the roots, so as to avoid soaking the roots in too deep water for a long time to avoid hypoxia. Try to choose a location with sufficient scattered light to avoid direct sunlight, and ensure good ventilation, which is conducive to the healthy growth of Fugui bamboo.
With the careful care of the above three simple steps, the Fugui bamboo in your home will not only take root quickly, but also keep it green and evergreen.
