How to cultivate lucky bamboo? Things to pay attention to when cultivating lucky bamboo

Lucky bamboo can purify the air and is very suitable for planting in the living room. There are many methods and precautions for growing lucky bamboo. If you want to grow high-quality lucky bamboo, you must understand these precautions.

How to cultivate the lucky bamboo

The cultivation method of lucky bamboo is basically the same as that of lucky bamboo, but it takes more effort to shape it. Lucky bamboo likes a warm, humid, and shaded environment. The optimal temperature for growth is 20-30℃, so the high temperature seasons in summer and autumn in the south are very beneficial to its growth. When the temperature is below 10℃ for a long time in winter, the leaves of lucky bamboo will turn yellow and fall off.

It is better to use overnight tap water or cold boiled water for the lucky bamboo in the vase, and change it every 10-15 days. Each time, you only need to pour half and add half, otherwise the root system will not adapt. Nutrient solution may cause the root system of the lucky bamboo to rot, so it is not recommended to add it.

The lucky bamboo likes a high temperature environment, so the water temperature for cultivation should be higher, and the minimum temperature should not be lower than 20 degrees Celsius. The water quality requirements are also higher, and the water quality of the cultivation must be kept clean, otherwise it is easy to rot. Before it takes root, you can change the water for the lucky bamboo once a week. When changing the water, flush the bottom with clean water and clean the cultivation container.

Many people will encounter the situation that the height of the lucky bamboo they bought does not match the container at home, which requires root cutting. There are some particular ways to cut the roots. The correct way is to use a sharp knife (preferably disinfected with alcohol first) to cut flatly half a centimeter below the node of the lucky bamboo, because this is the position that is most likely to take root. When growing lucky bamboo in a vase, it is advisable to choose a healthy plant with complete leaves, straight branches, and intact terminal buds.

How to grow lucky bamboo

The key points to be mastered in water-growing the transfer bamboo include: before putting it into the bottle, remove the leaves at the base of the cuttings, and use a sharp knife to cut the base into a 45-degree bevel. The blade should be smooth to increase the absorption area of ​​water and nutrients. Keep it in a straight glass container with a water depth of about 5 to 10 cm. Change the water every 3-4 days, and put in a few small pieces of charcoal for preservation. Do not move the position or change the direction within 10 days. Silvery white fibrous roots will grow in about 15 days. Stop changing the water after the transfer bamboo takes root. When the water decreases, add it in time. If you change the water frequently, it will easily cause yellowing and withering of the leaves. Give it a small amount of light after taking root, and drip a small amount of compound nutrient solution. Apply nutrient solution every 3 weeks thereafter.

1. Water quality requirements: It is not advisable to change the water after the bamboo has taken root. Water can only be added in time after the water evaporates. Frequent water changes can easily cause yellow leaves and wilt branches. It is best to use well water. If you use tap water, you must first store it in a container for one day. The water must be kept clean and fresh. Do not use dirty water, hard water or water mixed with oil, otherwise it will easily rot the roots.

2. Fertilization requirements: To prevent the bamboo from growing too tall in water, do not apply chemical fertilizers. It is best to inject a few drops of brandy into the bottle and add a small amount of nutrient solution every 3 weeks or so. You can also dissolve half a tablet of powdered aspirin or a tablet of VC in 500 grams of water, and add a few drops when adding water to keep the leaves green.

3. Prevent wind from blowing: Do not place the lucky bamboo next to the TV or in places where it is often blown by air conditioners or electric fans to prevent the tips and edges of the leaves from drying out.

Things to note when cultivating transfer bamboo

The first is the water quality problem, which mainly depends on whether the root system of the bamboo is fresh. If the root system is rotten, the rotten roots should be cut off and replaced with cold boiled water. When the symptoms are serious, pesticides should be sprayed appropriately or a small amount of fungicide should be added to the water tray.

The second is caused by environmental conditions, such as too dark light, hot and humid, dry air, etc. If it is caused by light, first cut off the yellow leaves to create a clean, suitable temperature, cool, humid and well-scattered light environment. When there are rotten bamboo branches, loosen the straps of the transfer bamboo, pick out the rotten ones, and tie them again to gradually recover.
