How to grow Guanyin bamboo and what are the differences between it and lucky bamboo?

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: It prefers acidic or neutral soil. You can mix garden soil, leaf mold and fine sand to make it more loose, fertile and conducive to growth.

2. Light: It likes light, and there must be sufficient light during the growing season so that the branches and leaves will be more vigorous. However, the light is strong in the summer, so you need to block it in time, avoid strong sunlight, and also pay attention to ventilation. In winter, let it bask in the sun as much as possible.

3. Watering: It likes a humid environment, but is afraid of waterlogging, so it is necessary to add water frequently and water it thoroughly. Water accumulation is strictly prohibited. In addition, in hot seasons, you should water more to ensure humidity.

4. Fertilization: When applying fertilizer, mainly apply decomposed organic fertilizer. Fertilizer should be applied once a month during the growing period, but be sure to use low-concentration fertilizer to promote growth.

2. Precautions

It has poor cold resistance, so it should be kept indoors and the temperature should be controlled in winter. Especially in the northern region, it is very cold, and the indoor temperature in winter cannot be too low, it must be above 5 degrees, otherwise it is easy to frostbite and affect the growth in the next year.

3. The difference between the two

The two are actually very easy to distinguish. From the appearance, the Guanyin bamboo is taller and usually grows to about three meters, while the lucky bamboo will not be higher than two meters. In addition, there are obvious differences in the leaves, the former's leaves are broader, while the latter's are more slender.
