Does the lucky bamboo prefer acidity or alkalinity? Can the lucky bamboo be raised in the north?

1. Do you prefer acid or alkaline?

The plant "Smooth Sailing" likes to grow in a slightly acidic environment. Only by providing a suitable acidic environment can it ensure healthy and vigorous growth. If it stays in an alkaline environment for a long time, its growth will be affected, resulting in weak growth and less flowering. Considering its preferences, the soil needs to be acidic, and fertile leaf mold can be chosen. The quality of the water for watering should be acidic as much as possible. You can use rainwater, snow water, river water, etc. for watering. You can also use rice water, or add a little vinegar, beer or other acidic substances to the water.

2. Can it be raised in the north?

The lucky charm can be grown in the north, but it is not as convenient as in the south, and its growth may be worse. In the north, you need to pay attention to maintenance methods. In addition to providing an acidic environment, you also need to maintain a good temperature. This plant cannot tolerate low temperatures and likes to grow in a warm environment. The winter climate in the north is cold, so you must take good warming measures, otherwise the plant may be frostbitten. In winter, it should be moved indoors or in a greenhouse, and the temperature should be kept above 10 degrees Celsius, providing sufficient sunlight. However, note that most indoor spaces in the north have heating equipment, so you should avoid these heating devices to prevent the leaves from turning yellow.
