How to raise lily bamboo at home?

In recent years, a kind of rich and precious bamboo, flowerless and intangible, has become a "pet" of family flower growers and a leader among fashionable indoor foliage flowers.

Fuguizhu, also known as Xianda Dracaena, is a small evergreen tree in Liliaceae. The beauty of rich bamboo is inseparable from its auspicious name. Its leaves are slender and natural, the leaves are green, and the stems are characterized by bamboo joints, but they are not real bamboo. There is a saying in China that "flowers bloom with wealth, and bamboo reports peace". Fu Guizhu's leaves and stems are beautiful, soft and elegant, full of bamboo charm, so they are very popular with people. Fugui bamboo seeds are widely managed, with few pests and diseases, easy to cultivate and known as "good luck".

Fuguizhu is suitable for small potted plants, which are used to decorate rooms, study rooms and living rooms. , can be placed on the desk, coffee table, countertop. It is rich and elegant, exquisite and unique, and has good ornamental value.

Fuguizhu is native to the Canary Islands and tropical regions of Africa and Asia. In the early 1980s, the Tropical Crops Research Institute of China Tropical Agriculture Research Institute introduced Fugui bamboo to Zhanjiang, Guangdong. It likes high temperature and high humidity environment, has no strict requirements for light, and is also resistant to shade. It can be kept indoors for a long time, without sunlight and deliberate maintenance. As long as there is enough water, it can grow vigorously.

The management and protection of potted bamboo in the living room should control the humidity and temperature. During the growing period, the basin soil should always be kept moist, and the leaves should always be sprayed with water to maintain a high environmental humidity. Too dry can easily lead to dry tips. Potted soil in winter should not be too wet, but water should be sprayed on the leaves from time to time, and attention should be paid to cold protection to prevent the leaves from yellowing, shrinking and falling off. In the peak season from May to September, granular compound fertilizer can be applied 2-3 times a month to keep the leaves green and shiny.

Because of the poor branching ability, it is best to concentrate more than 5 branches in the pot when viewing indoors, and the effect will be better. After a long time indoors, although the leaves grow steadily, they are inevitably contaminated with a layer of dust. You can wash the leaves by spraying water to make them look beautiful again.

Fu Guizhu's stem has strong plasticity, and it can be shaped by bending a single branch or cutting it into sections according to people's needs. The "Fugui Baota" cut into sections looks like an ancient pagoda in China, symbolizing good luck, wealth and wealth. In Taiwan Province Province, China, Fu Guizhu is also known as "Kaiyun Bamboo". During auspicious celebrations or major festivals, people will give Fu Guizhu as a mascot to relatives and friends. Many young girls are also very partial to Fu Guizhu. They bought a small layer of "Fu Gui Tower" and put it in front of the desk in the boudoir to keep it safe.

Fu Guizhu is usually propagated by cutting. Pruning is combined with plastic pruning. As the plant grows taller, the leaves at the base of the stem often fall off, and the plant deformation is poor. The stem can grow 5- 10 cm as cuttings in the growing season. How to use it to raise buttercup begonia?

Begonia buttercup is an excellent indoor foliage plant with beautiful leaves and bright colors. Sexually prefer warm, humid, semi-cloudy and humid environment and avoid direct sunlight. The optimum growth temperature is 22℃ ~ 25℃, and it is not resistant to high temperature. When the temperature exceeds 32℃, the growth will be slow. It is suitable for cultivating soil with rich humus, strong water retention and smooth drainage. In order to meet the above ecological requirements, potted plants in the northern region can be placed under the eaves or windowsills of the north balcony or north-facing room from early May to early October of 10, but attention should be paid to ventilation. In dry weather and summer, it is very important to spray water on the ground around the flowerpot several times a day to humidify and cool down and maintain a cool and humid environment, which is very important for its vigorous growth. High temperature drying is easy to cause poor growth and even death of plants. When cultivating Begonia Ranunculata, it is forbidden to spray unclean water on the leaves, otherwise it will easily produce diseased spots and affect the appearance. It is not advisable to water too much during the growth period, and it is advisable to keep the soil moist. At the peak of growth, apply 1 time of compound fertilizer or pancake fertilizer with nitrogen fertilizer as the main component every half month. When applying fertilizer, be careful not to let the fertilizer liquid pollute the leaves. If the fertilizer solution accidentally touches the leaves, spray the leaves with clear water immediately and rinse the fertilizer solution clean. Move to the sunny place of the south-facing room in winter, cover it with plastic film at night to keep warm and moist, and spray and wash the leaves with clean water close to room temperature every five days 1 time to avoid dust or smoke polluting the leaves and keep them fresh and beautiful. During overwintering, the room temperature should be kept above 10℃, fertilization should be stopped and watering should be controlled, so as to overwinter safely. Generally, after 4 years, the growth of Begonia Ranunculata is weak, and it is appropriate to insert Ye Gengxin 1 time every 4 ~ 5 years.

Inserted in vermiculite or river sand, 1-2 weeks can take root and sprout.
