How to grow lucky bamboo in water? What should I pay attention to?

Lucky bamboo is generally maintained by hydroponics, and the maintenance method is also very simple, just put it in water. But you should pay attention to changing the water frequently to ensure that the water quality is clean and clean, and also expose it to the sun more and place it in a place with sufficient light, which is more conducive to rooting and growth. When it is aged in the late stage, it can be changed to soil cultivation.

How to grow bamboo in water

1. Treat the plants

For hydroponic bamboo, choose plants that are strong, have complete leaves, upright branches, and complete terminal buds. After pruning, you need to trim the branches and trunks at an angle, or cut them at a 45-degree angle. This will allow them to better absorb water and nutrients, which is beneficial to growth.

2. Prepare the container

The container used to maintain the lucky bamboo should be transparent and have a certain depth, depending on the length of the plant. Good light transmittance makes it easy to observe its growth. The container should be cleaned after use, and it is best to disinfect it to ensure that it is sterile and non-toxic.

3. Insert container

After processing the lucky bamboo, put it in the container and add an appropriate amount of water, about 5 to 10 cm deep. The water used is preferably purified water. If tap water is used, it must be dried before use to avoid excessive chlorine, which will affect growth.

Hydroponic cultivation of lucky bamboo

1. Water quality

The water quality of hydroponic bamboo should be kept clean, and no debris should be allowed to appear in the water, otherwise it will damage the roots of the plant. So change the water every 4-5 days.

In winter, the temperature is low, so the amount of water changes should be reduced. You can use purified water or tap water that has been left to dry to replenish the new water source. Be careful when changing the water so as not to damage the roots.

2. Add nutrient solution

Compared with flower soil, water contains less nutrients and is difficult to support plant growth. Therefore, it is necessary to add some nutrients to it in time to supplement the nutrients.

The frequency of addition does not need to be too high. It can be added once every 15 days during the growth period, and less frequently in winter. Before adding nutrients, they need to be diluted to prevent their concentration from being too high and damaging the plant's roots.

3. Lighting

Lucky bamboo does not like strong light, especially for hydroponic seedlings. If it is placed in the sun for a long time, it will grow yellow leaves. Therefore, it is best to place it in a place with soft light in daily life, so that it will not be sunburned, but also provide it with a certain amount of sunlight to help it grow.
