How to water and fertilize lucky bamboo grown in soil

1. How to water

It likes a humid environment, and the soil must be moist and maintain a certain humidity during its growth period. The specific frequency of watering should be determined according to the environment. The growth conditions are different in different environments, and the amount of water required is naturally different.

If it is in spring and autumn, it is the peak growth season and requires more water, so water frequently. Water the soil when you find that the surface of the soil becomes dry. Water it thoroughly each time, but do not allow water to accumulate. In summer, the temperature is relatively high and water is lost quickly, so the frequency of bathing should be increased. In addition to watering, you also need to sprinkle water frequently, otherwise the air will be too dry and will hinder growth. The temperature is low in winter, its growth rate slows down, and its water demand also decreases. It is necessary to control water to prevent soil freezing and frost damage.

2. Watering precautions

In addition to paying attention to the frequency of watering, you should also pay attention to the watering time and water temperature. Especially in summer and winter. In the high temperature environment of summer, watering should be avoided at noon, otherwise it will stimulate the plant and affect absorption. It is better to water in the evening or morning. In winter, on the contrary, watering should be done at noon, and the water temperature should be close to the soil temperature.

3. How to fertilize

When growing plants in soil, you should apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer when potting them. The soil will be fertile so that they will grow better in the later stages. A lot of nutrients will be needed during the peak growing season, and top dressing should be applied in time. Compound fertilizer can be applied every 20-25 days. It is best to dilute it before applying so that the concentration is low and easy to absorb, thus avoiding fertilizer damage.
