Cultivation and maintenance methods of water bamboo (Hydrocyperus rotundus)

Water Bamboo (Cyperus alternifolius) is also known as umbrella grass, dry umbrella grass, water palm bamboo, windmill grass, water bamboo. Family: Cyperaceae, Cyperus genus. Water bamboo likes to grow in water, hence the name, and is a perennial herb of the Cyperaceae family.

Water bamboo is easy to grow and does not require much management. As long as there is a certain amount of light every day, the air is flowing, and it is watered frequently, it will grow strong, lush, and green. It looks elegant and generous, giving people a beautiful enjoyment. Water bamboo does not have strict requirements on soil. It always grows tall and straight after being planted in garden soil for more than ten years. Sometimes, if the seedlings are weak, they can be watered with a small amount of human urine, fertilizer and water.

Water bamboo has high requirements for water. It is best to use mineral water and purified water, followed by tap water, but it must be allowed to settle before use. If the stem rots, the rotten part must be cut off in time to prevent the rotten part from expanding. It is best to cut it off from the bamboo joints. Generally speaking, once water bamboo takes root, it is not easy to rot. If rot occurs, in addition to cutting off the rotten part, you can also put some bright green treasure in the water to promote rooting. The water should be changed every half a month.

Water bamboo likes water and fertilizer. Usually, fertilizer should be applied once every two weeks (ordinary fertilizer from the flower market will do). This will make the newly grown bamboo particularly strong. Water it once every 2-3 nights. When the weather is hot, it must be fed with enough water. You can water it every night, otherwise the tips of the leaves will turn yellow.

When potting, use ordinary garden soil with a small amount of base fertilizer. Keep the soil moist during the growing season, or plant directly in a watertight pot with about 5 cm of water in the pot to avoid the trouble of watering every day. Fertilize 1-2 times a month during the growing season. To control the height, irrigate once in May with 400ppm of paclobutrazol, which can effectively control its excessive growth. This grass has a wide range of light adaptation and can grow well in full sun or semi-shade, but it is more beneficial to grow in semi-shade in summer, which can keep the leaves green and not old.
