How to grow lucky bamboo well? Cultivation methods and precautions for lucky bamboo

Lucky bamboo can be grown in soil or hydroponically. Although it is now popular to plant it in water, it is not so convenient to use hydroponics for relatively large plants. Most of them are grown in soil. Soil cultivation is very simple. You just need to pay attention to the potting soil, fertilizer, water and sunlight, and the survival rate is high.

Key points for cultivating lucky bamboo

The lucky bamboo first needs fertile soil. It needs soft, breathable and well-drained soil, which can be made with peat soil or leaf mold and a small amount of base fertilizer. It is a plant that has a relatively large demand for fertilizer.

During the growing season, fertilizer should be applied every fifteen to twenty days. It likes moisture. Spring and autumn are its growing seasons. It needs to be watered regularly every three to five days to keep the soil high in humidity.

Key points for caring for lucky bamboo

The temperature should be kept between 15 and 25 degrees during maintenance. Although the lucky bamboo can withstand low temperatures of about 3 degrees, it will be affected by being in a low temperature environment for a long time. In winter, it is necessary to prevent frost and place it in a place with scattered sunlight. In summer, it is necessary to do a good job of shading and not let it be directly exposed to strong light.

When the newly grown shoots are too long, the diseased and insect-infested shoots should be cut off as soon as possible to avoid damage to the entire pot of lucky bamboo. They can also be pruned appropriately to maintain the beautiful shape of the plant and prevent the thin shoots from absorbing excess nutrients. The cut branches can be used for cuttings or kept in water.
