2016-05-23 A bit different watering and hardening

Watering 

Watering is one of the most important things for plants. As we found out - bamboos loves wet soil but it hates standing water.

After we do the watering the pallet under the bamboos looks like this:

So the water is pent under the bamboos. Bamboo roots are getting sick about this and the leaves are getting brown. So the solution that i found is - water bamboos once, then use the same water to water them once again just after the first watering is finished. After these two watering circles the soil is getting really wet and the water is poured away.

As well I use the sprayer to imitate the raining water. I guess that bamboos love raining water.

Hardening

Now we are starting adoption of the bamboos for outside weather situation. 

Every day I use my hand to touch all the bamboos. I imitate wind :)

As well I keep open brow box for night time and close for day time. Using this method I'm trying to imitate cold nights and very hot days, because this is what we have here in our country. 

In a near future bamboos will go outside.
