How to grow Guanyin bamboo in water to make it more vigorous

Guanyin bamboo, like lucky bamboo and fortune bamboo, is a common hydroponic bamboo plant in households. Before hydroponics, the roots and leaves must be trimmed and disinfected with potassium permanganate solution before it can be cultivated in water. During the maintenance process, attention should be paid to regular water changes to ensure the normal growth of Guanyin bamboo.

Key points for cultivating water-grown Guanyin bamboo

1. Change water and fertilize

The water quality of hydroponic Guanyin bamboo must be kept clean. The water evaporates quickly due to the high temperature in summer, so the water is usually changed every 2-3 days. In autumn and winter, the water is normally changed every 10 days. Tap water needs to be exposed to the sun for about 3 days before use.

Every time you change the water, you should observe the condition of the roots of the Guanyin bamboo. If there is mucus on the roots, you need to clean them in time and then put them in water to continue cultivating. While changing the water, you can apply nutrient solution according to the growth of the plant to ensure that the Guanyin bamboo has the nutrients it needs for growth.

2. Light and temperature

Guanyin bamboo likes to grow in warm and sunny places. Hydroponic Guanyin bamboo can be placed in a place with scattered sunlight indoors. It should avoid direct sunlight in summer and can receive all-weather sunlight in winter. The suitable temperature for the growth of Guanyin bamboo is about 25℃. The temperature is too low in winter and it needs to be kept warm to prevent the plant from stopping development or even frostbite.

Precautions for water-growing Guanyin bamboo

The root system of Guanyin bamboo is well developed, so it needs to be pruned regularly when hydroponically cultivated. You can change the water and observe the root growth and do appropriate pruning. For Guanyin bamboo that has just been hydroponically cultivated, try not to fertilize it when changing the water. Wait until new roots grow out and then fertilize it according to the growth of the plant.
