Why do we need to put iron nails in water bamboo cultivation? What should we pay attention to when cultivating water bamboo?

In life, many people like to grow bamboo in water, especially lucky bamboo, which is people's favorite. However, you often see some people put an iron nail in the water bamboo. Why is this? What are the benefits of putting an iron nail in the water bamboo? Let me show you the knowledge in this regard.

Why put nails?

When growing bamboo in water, it needs to absorb a certain amount of trace element iron, but the trace element iron in the water cannot meet the needs of bamboo growth. People put an iron nail in the water, which can make it produce a large amount of divalent iron ions. After this substance is absorbed by the bamboo, it is very beneficial to its healthy growth.

Precautions for raising water bamboo

1. Pay attention to water use

When using water to grow bamboo, you must pay attention to the choice of water. The water in the vase must not be used. Clean water directly from the tap must be taken out and settled for a few days before being put into the vase. If conditions permit, you can also choose clear river water and lake water in nature, which will be more beneficial to the growth of bamboo.

2. Apply fertilizer in time

Many people think that there is no need to fertilize bamboo when growing it in water. In fact, this idea is wrong, because you should also pay attention to the supply of nutrients when growing water bamboo. Although it is not fertilized in time like in flower pots, it needs to use a certain nutrient solution, especially every time you change the water for the water bamboo, you must add 3 to 5 drops of nutrient solution. Only in this way can the nutrients in the water meet the needs of the normal growth of the water droplets.

3. Breeding environment

When raising water bamboo, you should also pay attention to its environment. You should place it in a bright place, but not in direct sunlight. If the water droplets are not exposed to sunlight for a long time, its leaves will turn yellow or fall off. However, after the hot summer weather, you must keep the water droplets away from strong light at noon, otherwise its leaves will be burned by the sun, turn yellow or fall off.
