What kind of water is best for growing water bamboo?

1. Impact of water quality

Water quality has a great influence on the growth of water bamboo, whether it is hydroponically cultivated or soil cultivated. The impact on hydroponics is even greater. If the water quality is not chosen well, the growth of the plant will be very weak and its roots will easily rot, which may even threaten the life of the plant in severe cases.

2. General requirements

The most important requirement is that the water must be acidic. If the water is alkaline, the plants will be greatly affected.

3. What water options are available?

There are many types of water to choose from, such as river water, lake water, rainwater, well water, etc. As long as it is acidic, you can choose it. Then there is tap water, but you can’t use it directly from the tap. It is best to leave it for twenty-four hours, or expose it to the sun for a while before use. Of all the types, electrolyzed ionized water is the best. Note that it is best not to use mineral water.

4. Other matters needing attention

In addition to water quality, the most important thing is water changes. Regular water changes are very necessary, otherwise the water will be contaminated and affect the growth of the plants. In summer, you need to change the water frequently, while in winter, you can change the water at longer intervals, once every half a month. In addition, hydroponics is not suitable for every season. Spring, summer and autumn are suitable for hydroponics, but winter is suitable for soil cultivation.
