Lucky bamboo will not turn yellow even after 10 years of cultivation, just put something in the water!

Add some charcoal to the water

When hydroponically cultivating lucky bamboo, you can add a piece of charcoal into the hydroponic bottle. Charcoal can kill bacteria and prevent corrosion, so it can keep the water clean and hygienic and reduce bacterial infection. In this way, the roots of lucky bamboo will be cleaner and more hygienic, and the probability of root rot will be reduced, which can also reduce the occurrence of yellow leaves.

Add rusty nails to water

This is a little trick summarized by many flower lovers, which is to add a rusty iron nail to the bottle of hydroponic lucky bamboo to supplement the iron element for the lucky bamboo. When lucky bamboo lacks iron, its leaves may turn yellow. But the effect is slower. I wonder if any flower lovers have used this method. Please tell us in the comments.

Add ferrous sulfate to water

If you want quick results, the simplest and most brutal method is to add a little ferrous sulfate to the hydroponic bottle. The dosage does not need to be too much. According to the instructions, Huahua usually uses this method.

Add rooting powder to water

When lucky bamboo is first grown in water, it has no roots and the leaves do not get enough nutrients, so it is easy to cause yellow leaves. If you want to avoid the possibility of yellow leaves, you must let it take root as soon as possible. Therefore, when you grow lucky bamboo in water, add a little rooting powder in the hydroponic bottle to speed up the rooting process and reduce the occurrence of yellow leaves.

Add nutrient solution to water

After the lucky bamboo takes root, it needs to be supplemented with nutrients in time to promote the healthy growth of branches and leaves. If the nutrition cannot keep up, it will easily lead to yellow leaves. Flower lovers who have the conditions can buy some special hydroponic nutrient solution and add it once every half a month, but do not add it when the temperature is high, as it can easily cause water quality infection.

Maintenance methods

Above, Huahua introduced to you five tips on how to prevent the yellowing leaves of lucky bamboo. So when we buy lucky bamboo home, how should we take care of it specifically?

1. When you just buy lucky bamboo, the first step is to remove the yellow and dry leaves.

2. Use a sharp wallpaper knife to cut the bottom of the lucky bamboo at a 45-degree angle. In order to prevent bacterial infection, the wallpaper knife can be burned with a lighter first to disinfect it.

3. After that, soak the lucky bamboo in rooting water to promote rooting.

4. Finally, insert the lucky bamboo into the hydroponic bottle, pour in the clean water prepared in advance, and place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance.

5. Before roots grow, you can change the water more frequently to avoid water contamination. After roots grow, the root system can automatically purify the water, and you can reduce the frequency of water changes. Whenever you see that there is no water, just add water in time.
