Why doesn t my bamboo grow leaves? Why does Wenzhu only grow vines and not leaves?

Bamboo only grows stems and does not grow leaves? As long as you do a good job in these aspects, the sprouts will sprout out.

There are several reasons for this:

1.Overwatering

Wenzhu. It is not drought tolerant, but too much soil moisture can easily cause the branches to elongate, but it does not grow leaves. Watering should be appropriate, in the growing season can be watered in the morning and evening, the potting soil can not accumulate water, and the balcony maintenance should pay attention to the rain.

2.Improper fertilization

Bamboo likes fertile soil, but the amount of fertilizer is large or the frequency is high, or the application of thick fertilizer or fertilizer, easy to hurt the roots, causing slow growth of leaves, excessive nitrogen fertilizer also leads to bamboo only long stems and no leaves, at this time to stop fertilization, and control watering, to promote the plant leaves. If the soil fertility is low, the bamboo will also grow slowly, and it does not grow leaves, so it is suitable to use thin organic fertilizer for fertilization.

3.Lack of light

Plants that do not have enough light or in a shady environment grow slowly, tend to grow easily, and do not grow leaves. At this time, you need to move to a place with plenty of scattered light, you can also bask in the sun in the morning and evening, and properly shade in the summer.

4.The temperature is not suitable

When the temperature is too low or too high, the bamboo will slow down or pause its growth, and it is easy to not grow leaves. It is best to maintain the environment from 12 to 18, especially in the summer to maintain in a cool environment, control the temperature below 35, and after the temperature drops in autumn, it should be maintained in a warm environment, and the temperature should be higher than 10.

5.Potting soil is not suitable

The size of the pot is too small, and the soil is not renewed all year round, the potting soil volume is limited and the soil fertility is low, which is not conducive to root growth. Can be sunny in early spring.

Repotting, the soil can be mixed with humus, garden soil and river sand.

When changing pots, a small amount of well-rotted organic fertilizer should be added as base fertilizer.

6.Pests

Aphids. Nematodes will harm the growth of bamboo, causing the plant not to grow leaves, once the pest is found, it is necessary to prune the diseased leaves and branches, and then spray with insecticides.

1. In the middle of summer, the sun is more violent, and its leaves turn yellow probably because of strong light.

2. It is more afraid of cold, and it will stop growing if it is below 0 degrees, but if the temperature is higher than 35 degrees, its growth will also grow slowly.

3. The use of fertilizer in the growing season should not be too much, and the concentration should not be too large, if some raw fertilizer is applied, it is likely to cause injury to the plant, and the leaves will not be extracted.

4. When maintaining plants outdoors, we should pay attention to bad weather, especially the impact of storms, if it is affected, its growth will grow slowly, and the leaves will turn yellow.

5. When watering, too much water is used to block its root system and prevent it from breathing, which will also make the leaves of the plant yellow.

1. Place it in a shaded and cool place for maintenance, and you can place it next to a window with curtains, so that you can avoid direct sunlight in summer.

2. In the rainy season, be careful not to let it rain, and if it rains, it should be drained in time. so as not to flood the root system and cause rot.

3. After the yellowing leaves appear, the leaves should be pruned off immediately, and then filled with water and other water overflowing in the pot, indicating that it has been watered thoroughly.

4. In winter, it needs to be taken back indoors for maintenance, but it should be kept away from electrical appliances such as radiators and air conditioners. Make sure it grows at a temperature of between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius, which will reduce the yellowing of the leaves.

When raising bamboo, if it does not grow new leaves, it is generally caused by insufficient light, insufficient nutrients, and untimely pruning, so it needs to be exposed to 1 to 2 hours of light every day, and then change the soil in time and add fertilizer, or pour some sugar water and glucose water, and finally prune the dead branches and leaves reasonably, so that the new branches and new leaves germinate.

1. Increase light appropriately.

Although bamboos prefer to be buried in a cool environment, in order for the plants to grow healthily and the branches germinate smoothly, it is necessary to increase the light appropriately, which can be of great help to the growth of the plants, especially in the period when the bamboo grows new shoots and new branches, if it is exposed to light for 1 to 2 hours a day, the time for new branches to grow can be shortened.

2. Appropriate soil replacement and top dressing.

Although it does not have high requirements for fertilizer, the premise is also under the condition of ensuring that the basic nutrients of the potting soil are sufficient. As it grows, it will continue to consume the nutrients in the pot, so it needs to be properly replenished at this time. It can usually be fertilized again when the soil is changed, so that it can be provided with enough nutrients to meet its normal growth needs, so that new shoots can grow quickly.

Or you can also add some glucose water or sugar water to the potting soil, which is also a good way to encourage it to grow new branches.

3. Trim properly.

If you want to make the bamboo always have a good tree shape and send out more side branches, reasonable pruning is indispensable, the method of pruning is very simple, just cut off the top growth point of its branches, at this time the plant will stop growing upward due to the loss of the growth point, but begin to germinate side branches and new branches around.

Problem description: I raised a pot of bamboo, almost 3 years, some time ago long three new roots, I didn't expect, they are thicker than other branches, crazy growth, higher than other branches about 3 times the longest one has more than half a meter, just no leaves, and then I was hungry to send them to wither one after another, I cut off the withered part, just sell the limbs so pick up and pick, the longest one is now about twice the height of the other branches, grow a little bit of small leaf forks, stop wilting, the second branch is about the same height as others, grow a small bud, It also stopped wilting, and one of the two outside all withered and gone, and recently grew out of a crazy one, not growing leaves, dry and thick, has exceeded the highest one, I'm afraid it will wither when it grows again, I cut off its tips today, and some juice flowed out, I don't know if I'm doing it right, I want to ask friends who understand Wenzhu, what's going on with this phenomenon?? How should I deal with it correctly? Thank you.

Analysis: This is the result of the plant seeing less light, and the plant will grow in the case of insufficient sunlight, although it grows fast, but the plant tissue inside is not full. In the south, palm plants will grow long if they see less light, forming what we call "shade seedlings".

It is recommended to see more light on it, and at the same time do not water too much. I once raised a pot and also had this problem, and then pinched off the long shoots and moved to a semi-shady environment, you can move to a location close to the south window, but avoid direct strong light.

Wenzhu, which has been raised for 3 years, never grows bamboo shoots, how should it be solved?

Hello, happy with your question. The bamboo grows very quickly, and the branches that first grow are very pale in color, but there are no leaves growing at the top. After it grows to a certain height, it will slowly sprout new leaves.

As it grows, the leaves will grow more and more, and the branches will become darker. If it is given a certain amount of sunlight and proper hydration, the plant will grow more vigorously.
