1、 How to spend the winter safely

1. Maintain the temperature: Turtle backed bamboo is a tropical plant, native to the tropical rain forest, so it can't stand the cold. It should be moved indoors for maintenance in winter. The temperature should be well controlled and kept above 15 ° C as far as possible. Although heating equipment is available in the north, it should not be placed in front of the heating

2. Reduce watering: Phyllostachys pubescens prefers wet plants, but the climate in winter is relatively cold, so its growth is also very slow. It has less requirements for water. Watering should be reduced. Generally, it should wait until the basin soil is dry before watering, as long as it maintains normal growth

3. Proper fertilization: if the indoor temperature is more appropriate, then the bamboo is still in the growth period. It can be properly fertilized. Apply thin fertilizer every other month or one and a half months, which can also improve the frost resistance

4. More sunshine: Turtle backed bamboo doesn't like strong light, but the light intensity in winter is small. It can be placed on the balcony with good light to promote the accumulation of nutrients through the irradiation of light

2、 Will winter freeze to death

As long as the maintenance management is done well and the temperature is not lower than 5 ℃ for a long time, the bamboo will not freeze to death in winter. In winter, although watering is reduced, for beauty, you can wipe the leaves with a wet cloth
