How to fertilize lucky bamboo? What fertilizer is best?

1. Fertilization time

When fertilizing lucky bamboo, the first thing to do is base fertilizer, which is for soil-grown plants. Another thing is top dressing during the growth period, which is applicable to both hydroponic lucky bamboo and soil-grown lucky bamboo, specifically during the period from spring to autumn.

2. Fertilizer Types

The base fertilizer used in soil cultivation is mainly some solid substances, such as bone meal, which contain more nutrients. The type of fertilizer used for top dressing is related to the cultivation method. Compound fertilizers are used for soil cultivation, while nutrient solutions are used for hydroponics.

3. Fertilization method

1. The operation method of base fertilizer is relatively simple. Just add it directly to the soil and mix it evenly. When applying top dressing, soil-grown plants can be diluted and applied to the surface of the substrate, while hydroponic plants can be directly dripped a few drops into the water. Regardless of the cultivation method, the quantity cannot be too much.

2. It is better to control the interval between fertilization to about 20-30 days, not too frequent.

3. Furthermore, since lucky bamboo is a foliage plant, the condition of its leaves is very important. You can use some foliar fertilizer and apply it on the surface of the leaves.

IV. Precautions

In winter, lucky bamboo may enter a dormant period. At this time, there is no need to apply fertilizer, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage.
