How to grow lucky bamboo in soil

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: When growing lucky bamboo, you need to choose loose, fertile and well-drained soil. Its roots do not like clay. If the soil is too sticky, water will accumulate, which can easily cause its roots to rot.

2. Light: When growing lucky bamboo in soil, place it in a place with bright scattered light. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, as the leaves will be burned. It should also not be cultivated in an environment that is too shady, otherwise it will grow too tall and the leaves will become thin and weak.

3. Temperature: The temperature requirement for indoor maintenance of lucky bamboo should be above 5℃ when it overwinters indoors in the north in winter. It will suffer frost damage in the range of 5 to 0℃.

4. Water: When caring for lucky bamboo grown in soil, water it to keep the soil slightly moist. Do not let the soil dry out completely, but at the same time do not allow too much water to accumulate to avoid root rot.

5. Fertilization: The demand for fertilizer for lucky bamboo grown in soil is not particularly high. Generally, liquid fertilizer is applied to it once a month. Change the soil once every 2-3 years. When changing the soil, mix some decomposed organic fertilizer or slow-release compound fertilizer into the soil.

2. Common pests and diseases

During the maintenance process, lucky bamboo is prone to diseases and pests such as red spider mites and stem rot. When a small number of diseases occur, the affected parts should be cut off. If it occurs in large numbers, it is necessary to use drugs to prevent and control it to avoid mutual infection.
