Bamboo joint grass, a traditional Chinese medicine, has excellent hemostatic effects, whether used externally or internally. It can also be grown as a potted plant at home, bringing joy to people's hearts. So what are the living habits of bamboo joint grass? The cultivation method of bamboo joint grass is as follows:
Cultivation method of bamboo joint grass
1. Fertile soil
To grow bamboo joint grass well, the most important thing is soil selection. Loose sandy soil alone is not enough. It is necessary to increase the fertility and permeability of the soil.
It is best to mix humus with garden soil, and add an appropriate amount of clay and lime to make the soil fertile and well-drained.
2. Regular watering
Bamboo joint grass prefers a moist environment, so do not wait until the soil is dry before watering.
Bamboo joint grass needs to keep the soil moist all the time, so that the grown bamboo joint grass will be lush green.
Therefore, it is necessary to water the bamboo joint grass every day. Insufficient watering will cause the leaves to decrease, the color to turn yellow, and the plant to become weak.
3. Moderate light
Bamboo joint grass does not require a lot of light. It is best to grow it in a place with scattered light or in a shady environment.
Excessive light will cause the water in the bamboo joint grass to evaporate quickly, so the soil needs to be watered frequently to maintain moisture.
Therefore, in the summer when the light is strongest, it is necessary to move it indoors to avoid direct sunlight.
4. Moderate temperature
The ideal temperature for the growth of bamboo joint grass is between 18-25°C. Excessive temperature in summer will cause it to wither.
Therefore, when the temperature exceeds 30°C in summer, it should be moved to a cool and well-ventilated environment indoors.
In winter, when the temperature is below 4°C, attention should be paid to keeping it warm, otherwise the bamboo joint grass will stop growing.
