How to grow lucky bamboo well

Growth conditions of lucky bamboo

Lucky bamboo prefers a semi-shady environment and is suitable for growing in well-drained sandy soil or semi-mud and alluvial clay. The suitable temperature for growth is 18℃~24℃. It grows all year round. When the temperature is below 13℃, the plant goes dormant and stops growing. It is not strict about light and is suitable for growing under bright scattered light.

How to grow lucky bamboo

If you want the lucky bamboo to grow well, you should pay attention to the water quality and quantity, and spray water on the leaves frequently. Also pay attention to light and temperature. The light should not be too strong. The temperature should be between 15 and 25 degrees. Fertilize in time, change the pot and water once a month, so that it can grow normally.

Watering the lucky bamboo

When the lucky bamboo grows vigorously in spring, water it every 1 to 2 days. In summer, the temperature is too high and the climate is too dry, water it every morning and evening, and spray water on the leaves. In autumn, the climate is cool and dry, water it every 3 days. In winter, control the amount of watering and water it every 10 days.

Fertilization of lucky bamboo

When fertilizing the lucky bamboo, base fertilizer is needed when it is cultivated in soil, as well as topdressing during the growth period. Compound fertilizer should be used for topdressing of soil-cultivated plants, and nutrient solution should be used for topdressing of hydroponic plants. You can also use foliar fertilizer appropriately. Be careful not to fertilize during the dormant period.

Pest and disease control of Fuzhu

Fuzhu is prone to anthracnose. In the early stage of the disease, gray-brown spots appear on the leaf edges at night. Remove the diseased leaves in time and sprinkle quicklime on the soil for disinfection. At the same time, strengthen ventilation and water, reduce the humidity of the potting soil, and apply organic fertilizer appropriately. Afterwards, pay attention to the shape of the leaves immediately to avoid the disease from attacking again.

How to raise Fuzhu at home

There are two ways to grow lucky bamboo at home: hydroponics and soil cultivation. Lucky bamboo likes warm and humid environment. May to September is its growing season. During this period, the potting soil should be kept moist, water should be sprayed on the leaves, and the environmental humidity should be maintained high. When changing the water of hydroponic lucky bamboo, adding diluted nutrient solution to the water is beneficial to the growth of the plant.

Precautions for the maintenance of Fuzhu

When cultivating lucky bamboo, you should provide appropriate containers, such as transparent glass bottles for hydroponics and tall and thin flower pots for soil cultivation. Provide appropriate growth temperature and pay attention to sufficient scattered light. Water the soil culture weekly in spring and autumn and change the water weekly for hydroponics. In normal cultivation, apply appropriate fertilizers to supplement nutrients and pay attention to disease and pest control.
