What to do if the lucky bamboo leaves wilt

1. Reasons and solutions

1. Improper lighting

If the sunlight is too strong and shines directly on the lucky bamboo, the leaves will easily wilt and yellow spots will grow on the sunny part of the leaves. If this happens, move it to a cool area and let it recover for a few days. If it is not allowed to see sunlight for a long time, the leaves will not get enough nutrients for growth and development, and will slowly turn yellow and wilt. At this time, move it to an area with light and wind, and it will get better quickly.

2. Improper fertilization

If you give it too much fertilizer, or the ratio of fertilizer is much greater than the ratio of water, it will wilt. Moreover, the tops of the newly grown leaves will turn brown, the leaves will have no luster, and the surface will be uneven. You should stop adding fertilizer immediately, water the flowerpot with water and then drain the water to help the fertilizer be discharged. If there is too little fertilizer, the color of the leaves will fade, the old leaves will turn yellow, and they will look wilted. Therefore, you should add some nitrogen fertilizer to it on a normal basis. You can do it more often, but the amount must be small. You should also add a little alum water from time to time.

3. Root infection

If its roots are damaged, the ducts will not be able to carry water in time because they will be blocked, and nutrients will not be able to pass through, so the leaves will wilt and look lifeless. In serious cases, the bacteria will grow in large quantities inside the lucky bamboo, and the entire lucky bamboo may wither. At this time, you need to change its water with clean purified water. If it is other water, let it dry overnight and then add it in to help it recover.

2. Daily maintenance

1. If the plant in your home is newly transplanted, add 1-2cm of water to it to allow it to take root. It likes warm, watery and relatively cool places. The light does not need to be too strong, especially avoid the scorching sun. Do not put it on the heater in winter.

2. It does not like to grow in flowing water and prefers stagnant water. If it has taken root, do not change the water first. Just wait until the water evaporates and then add water. Because frequent water changes will cause yellow leaves, this requires special attention.

3. After it takes root, add a little compound fertilizer to it so that the branches and trunk will grow strong and the leaves will be green. If you don't fertilize it for a long time, it will become very thin and its leaves will turn yellow. Don't add too much fertilizer, otherwise it will grow too tall. Just add fertilizer once a month in spring and autumn. If it is grown in water, in order to prevent it from growing wildly, do not add compound fertilizer. Add some nutrient solution every three weeks and it will grow very healthily. Don't place it near high-power electrical appliances, such as air conditioners, otherwise the tops of the leaves will dry up.
