Using a beautiful vase and growing a few lucky bamboos in water at home is not only refreshing and natural, but also has a very good air purification effect. Growing lucky bamboo hydroponically is cleaner and easier to maintain than growing it in potted plants . So how can you grow lucky bamboo in water to make it grow more vigorously? Let’s take a look below. 1. Water quality requirements The main nutrients of hydroponic lucky bamboo come from clean water. You can use tap water for hydroponic lucky bamboo, because it contains many minerals that can help lucky bamboo absorb nutrients better. You can also use purified water, and change the water frequently, once a week in summer and once every two weeks in other seasons. This will ensure that the lucky bamboo has continuous nutrition and can grow vigorously. 2. Ambient temperature Lucky bamboo is very easy to grow. It has strong vitality and does not require much care from us. It does not have high requirements for the environment. Cultivating it in water does not require any requirements. You just need to pay attention to the temperature. The minimum temperature cannot be lower than 0℃ and the maximum cannot exceed 35℃, otherwise it will wither and die. It is best for hydroponic lucky bamboo to grow in an environment of 20℃. 3. Sunlight requirements Lucky bamboo is a plant that loves sunlight very much, but we have to be careful when growing lucky bamboo in water. A cool environment can promote the growth of lucky bamboo, but it won’t work without sunlight. It can’t be exposed to too much sunlight, but it can’t be without sunlight either. So it’s best to expose it to sunlight in the morning. This is also one of the conditions that need to be paid attention to for it to grow vigorously. 4. Fertilization method Plants are generally fertilized and watered, but hydroponic lucky bamboo lives in water, so there is no need to water it. We only need to fertilize it. Although hydroponic lucky bamboo can grow well without fertilization, fertilizing it will make it grow more effectively. However, do not fertilize too much at one time, and once every 2 to 3 months is enough because it is not in the soil. 5. Plastic surgery Shaping and pruning are the conditions for the vigorous growth of hydroponic lucky bamboo, and are the most important part of it. We can cut off all the aging, dead leaves, yellow leaves, and useless branches and leaves of the lucky bamboo. This will allow the lucky bamboo to get more nutrients as a whole, make it more ornamental, and finally achieve a vigorous effect. 6. Pest and disease control Lucky bamboo is prone to anthracnose , stem rot, leaf spot, etc. Most of the time, the edges of the leaves appear dark brown with a yellow halo on the outside, and small black spots are scattered on the leaves. If these symptoms occur, there is still hope if treated in time. We can remove all the diseased branches and leaves and burn them, then move them to a ventilated place, change the natural water, and then prescribe the right medicine. If it is anthracnose, spray with Benomyl, if it is stem rot, use Fungicide powder, if it is leaf spot, also use Fungicide powder, and then just wait for it to recover. That’s it |
