How do you keep lucky bamboo for 10 years without its leaves turning yellow or its roots rotting?
Buy Lucky BambooWhen choosing lucky bamboo, you should buy one that is emerald green, healthy, and looks fresh and lively. It is best to buy one with roots so that you don’t have to worry about it taking root after you bring it home, and it is easier to keep.What to do after purchasing lucky bambooIf you buy lucky bamboo without roots, you should cut the roots at an angle after purchase. This will increase the rooting area and make it easier for the plant to take root. The water should be changed frequently before rooting, once every 3 days. It is best to use purified water, and tap water should be air-dried for a day before use. You can throw 2 aspirin tablets into the water to promote rooting.How to care for lucky bamboo after it takes rootIt takes about 15-20 days for lucky bamboo to take root. After taking root, you don’t need to change the water too frequently. Basically, just add some water when the water is almost dry. Place the lucky bamboo in a well-ventilated place with diffused light, away from direct sunlight. You can spray the leaves with moisture from time to time.What to do if lucky bamboo leaves turn yellowIf you find yellowing leaves on your lucky bamboo, you should first think about the reason for the yellowing leaves: whether it has been exposed to direct sunlight recently, whether it is too close to the heat dissipation holes of home appliances, whether the environment is too dark... If so, move the lucky bamboo to another location as soon as possible. At the same time, cut off the yellow leaves. The yellow leaves of lucky bamboo, especially the withered leaves, will not turn green again on their own, so to prevent them from continuing to consume nutrients of the plant, they must be cut off in time. Tips: Adding some ferrous sulfate solution (configuration ratio 1:1000) into the lucky bamboo hydroponic bottle can prevent the yellowing of lucky bamboo leaves to a certain extent.How to fertilize lucky bambooIf lucky bamboo grows to the point of poking the roof, it cannot be without fertilization. Fertilization does not need to be too frequent or too much. You can use a special nutrient solution or organic liquid fertilizer. Just drop 2 or 3 drops into the water and use it once a month.What to do if lucky bamboo roots rot1. If you smell a strange odor in the water of the lucky bamboo, you should observe the root system of the lucky bamboo to see if there is any root rot. 2. If the roots have already rotted, don't worry. Take out the lucky bamboo, rinse the roots with clean water, and cut off the rotten parts. 3. After all the rotten parts are removed, soak the lucky bamboo in potassium permanganate solution for disinfection, and then place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry. 4. Put the lucky bamboo back into the pot and let it take root again.How to convert lucky bamboo from hydroponics to soil cultivationLucky bamboo is not an aquatic plant and does not grow in water. In fact, it is similar to Chlorophytum comosum and can be grown in water or soil. Moreover, after changing from hydroponics to soil cultivation, lucky bamboo can grow wildly! 1. After the lucky bamboo has taken root, take it out of the water, clean the roots, soak them in a solution of carbendazim to sterilize them, and then place them in a cool place to dry. 2. The soil for growing lucky bamboo should be loose and breathable. It can be mixed with garden soil and river sand in a ratio of 1:1. 3. When growing lucky bamboo in soil, you should not choose a pot that is too large, otherwise there will be too much soil and the roots will not be able to absorb moisture in the soil, causing the roots to rot easily.After putting soil at the bottom of the flowerpot, hold the lucky bamboo with one hand and fill the soil with the other hand. Finally, compact the soil slightly and water it thoroughly. 4. Lucky bamboo grown in soil is afraid of dryness, so it is necessary to water it frequently after growing it in the soil to keep the soil slightly moist. Have flower lovers learned it? I hope that all of you lucky bamboos will be fresh and juicy, and that you will be rich and prosperous~ |
