Truc Quan Am tree, also known as chicken thigh bamboo, is currently a favorite choice for many families to grow at home. However, to keep the plants healthy and lush, note and apply the following principles:
Light factor
Light is one of the important factors that help plants grow well, maintaining the vitality and color of the leaves. Truc Quan Am tree likes morning light but cannot stand direct harsh sunlight, especially at noon. The harsh sunlight can make the leaves turn yellow and lose their subur appearance.
The ideal location to place Truc Quan Am tree should be near windows, balconies in the East or North direction, where it receives indirect light for 4 - 6 hours a day. In case the space lacks light, use specialized photosynthesis LED lights to add the necessary light for the plant.
Water regimen for plants
One of the most common mistakes when caring for plants in pots is watering too much water, leading to waterlogged roots and tree death. For Truc Quan Am plant, the principle should be applied that only when the soil is dry can water it.
Before watering, check the soil moisture by pressing your fingers about 2 - 3cm deep into the soil surface. If you feel that the soil is still moist, do not need to water more.
The amount of water needed to be moisturized each time is enough to moisturize the entire soil and can drain out of the hole in the bottom of the pot. It is necessary to avoid leaving the potted plant with stagnant water for a long time. In particular, with potted plants with layers of white gravel decorated on the surface, the evaporation speed of water will be slower, so it is necessary to pay attention to extending the time between watering times.
Growing and feeding land
How to grow Truc Quan Am depends largely on the quality of the host. The soil for the plants needs to ensure exemplary loam and good drainage to avoid flooding. An ideal soil mixture can include soil, coconut fiber, renard and some organic fertilizer.
Because they are grown in pots with limited soil, the plants need to be supplemented with regular nutrition. Housewives should use NPK-based fertilizers or slow- soluble organic fertilizers, fertilizing the plants about 2-3 months at a time during the growing season, preferably in spring and summer. Avoid fertilizing in winter when Truc Quan Am tree grows slowly.
Trimming and preventing pests
Regular pruning not only helps to shape the plant but also remove old branches and yellow leaves, helping the plant become more airy and focus on nutrients to nurture healthy spring children. This method also helps reduce the risk of fungal disease.
In addition, it is necessary to regularly check the lower surface of the leaves and branches to detect harmful pests such as wax reptiles and red spiders early. When detecting it, you should apply methods such as wiping it off with a damp cloth or using safe organic solutions to spray the plant.
