How to grow potted lucky bamboo to make it more vigorous

Overview of potted lucky bamboo cultivation

Lucky bamboo is a negative-loving plant and is suitable to be placed in a semi-shaded place. Natural sunlight can satisfy its daily growth. It does not need to be exposed to the sun. Instead, it should be avoided from sunlight. The reason for yellow leaves is caused by sunlight exposure.

How to grow potted lucky bamboo more vigorously

Flower pot selection: Choose a relatively wide and deep flower pot. Because the lucky bamboo plant is relatively tall, the bottom of the soil cultivation container should have more drainage holes to facilitate the growth of the roots and avoid the drainage holes being blocked by the potting soil. Some broken tiles or pebbles should be placed at the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot to avoid water accumulation in the potting soil.

Soil selection: Be sure to choose loose, breathable and well-drained humus or sandy soil. The soil should have good drainage and is preferably rich in humus. You can use peat soil and perlite. The appropriate compost soil ratio is approximately 1:1:1.

Regular watering: The first time you plant the lucky bamboo, you need to water it thoroughly once and keep it in a ventilated and lighted place. After three to five days, slowly expose it to light. In the later stage of maintenance of the soil-grown lucky bamboo, you must pay attention to regular replenishment of water. In the spring and summer growing seasons, if the environment is well ventilated and there is appropriate scattered light, you can water it regularly. If it is kept in an overly shaded place, you must slightly reduce the amount of watering and water it thoroughly after the soil is completely dry.

Regular pruning: When its branches and leaves grow too vigorously, regular pruning can be carried out. The cut branches can be reused for cuttings, and the bottom leaves can be removed before cuttings.

Key points that cannot be ignored when growing potted lucky bamboo

Air humidity: Lucky bamboo likes higher air humidity. If the air is dry, you need to spray water around it and also pay attention to spraying the leaves. In addition to maintaining humidity, it can also clean the leaves and prevent dust from clogging the stomata, which is conducive to better photosynthesis.

Light intensity: If you want lucky bamboo to grow vigorously, make sure to supplement it with about 3 to 8 hours of scattered light every day, and avoid exposure to the sun or excessive direct sunlight. If it is kept in an overly shaded place, the leaves of lucky bamboo will easily turn yellow. At least keep the light in the maintenance environment bright.
