Potted fernleaf hedge bamboo is not tall, yet it grows vigorously, with very emerald green leaves.

The Chinese people's fondness for bamboo is a long-standing affair; otherwise, bamboo would not have become one of the Three Friends of Winter. In our impression, bamboo is often a tall bamboo grove, with farmers laboriously chopping bamboo, transporting it, and so on.

Quite a lot of people have also planted a mini version of bamboo at home; this kind of bamboo is called fernleaf hedge bamboo. Today Huahua will introduce to everyone how to grow fernleaf hedge bamboo at home!

1. Soil

Fernleaf hedge bamboo is a plant that likes acidic soil, so when growing it you can choose acidic or slightly acidic soil; neutral soil also works. Generally speaking, you can mix the soil yourself, so that you can take into account the soil's air permeability, looseness and fertility at the same time. You can choose to mix leaf mold, garden soil and river sand in equal proportions.

2. Watering

Fernleaf hedge bamboo relatively likes a moist environment. In daily care, we can observe it often; each time we water, just make sure the potting soil is moist. Fernleaf hedge bamboo is afraid of waterlogging, so water in moderation; only in summer, when the temperature is higher and evaporation is faster, can you increase the amount of watering a little, otherwise there will be big problems.

Huahua will teach everyone a little trick: when watering, you can observe the leaves of the fernleaf hedge bamboo. When the leaves curl slightly, that is the best time to water, and you must water thoroughly. Usually do not give the fernleaf hedge bamboo too much water, but you can use a small spray bottle to mist the leaves to keep the leaf surface moist and also clean the leaf surface.

3. Light

Fernleaf hedge bamboo is a plant that likes light. Generally, we can place it in a spot indoors with indirect light. But indoors is still indoors, and there will certainly be places that light cannot reach, and if fernleaf hedge bamboo cannot get sunlight for a long time, it will become leggy. We can move the fernleaf hedge bamboo outdoors every so often to get some sun; only with enough sun can it grow well!

4. Fertilizing

Generally, during the growing period of fernleaf hedge bamboo, some fertilizer is applied to ensure the nutrients it needs. We can apply liquid fertilizer to the fernleaf hedge bamboo once every 20 days; you can use decomposed, diluted bean cake fertilizer, or you can use compound fertilizer. Like other plants, fernleaf hedge bamboo is in a dormant period in winter, which is also unsuitable for fertilizing, so it is best not to fertilize in winter.

5. Choosing a pot

Fernleaf hedge bamboo is a shallow-rooted plant, so when choosing a flower pot for the bamboo at the beginning, it is best to choose a shallower pot, not a deep pot. A deep pot is not good for the bamboo's growth, nor for controlling the amount of water given to the plant, and may suffocate the bamboo.

These are basically the methods for growing fernleaf hedge bamboo. I hope this article is helpful to those who like fernleaf hedge bamboo.
