This kind of plant is a kind of shrub, also known as orchid bamboo, Tianzhu and so on. It has been planted for a long time in our country. Some people who know about it or have planted it may know that it is more popular to turn red than to turn green. So let's talk about how it turns red.

The varieties of plants

First of all, we should know that this kind of plant is divided into different kinds. Some of them are originally red, but the depth of the color will vary with the surrounding conditions. For example, the red leaf Nandian bamboo is almost red all the year round. The southern bamboo with green leaves is different. It is green most of the time, but it will turn red under certain conditions. Next, we will mainly introduce how to make the first kind of red more beautiful, and how to make the second kind of Southern bamboo red

Specific methods

For the first kind of plants, the red color will change with the change of light intensity and season. For example, if the plant is in an environment with sufficient light, its leaves will be bright red, which looks good from afar. However, if the sun can't be seen in the shade for a long time, its red color will be very light and relatively not good-looking. In addition, if in winter, the plant leaves will accumulate certain nutrients, then the color is dark red

For the second plant, because it does not show red itself, it can only be red under special conditions. Specifically, low temperature makes it red. With the development of seasons, the temperature is relatively low at the end of autumn or winter. After a period of time, it forms a chemical called anthocyanin, which makes its leaves and fruits red. In addition, there is another reason why it turns red in this period, which is similar to the above one, that is, it stores some nutrients, so it will show dark red.
