During the hydroponic cultivation of Fortune Bamboo, it often exhibits yellowing and wilting leaves. Recently, many friends have said that the Fortune Bamboo they bought just before the New Year has started to show yellowing leaves after being water-planted, and they don't know how to solve it. Below are some common causes of yellowing leaves in hydroponic Fortune Bamboo.
One, yellowing leaves due to insufficient nutrients
Many hydroponic Fortune Bamboos easily develop yellow leaves, and many of them are due to a lack of nutrition. We know that the nutrients in water are very limited, and when hydroponically growing Fortune Bamboo, simply changing the water is not enough to meet the plant's nutritional needs, which can lead to a lack of nutrition and cause yellowing leaves over time.
Solutions
1. Supplement nutrient solution
When growing Fortune Bamboo hydroponically, in addition to changing the water frequently to keep it clean, it is also necessary to supplement some nutrient solution. For example, there are special hydroponic nutrient solutions available that can be added a little after each water change. Only with adequate nutrient supply can the plant grow vigorously.
2. Rusty nails
If there is no nutrient solution available, a few rusty nails can be added to the water to supplement some iron, which can reduce the yellowing of the Fortune Bamboo leaves.
3. Ferrous sulfate tablets
If there are some expired tablets at home, such as ferrous sulfate tablets or vitamin tablets, they can be crushed into fine powder and added to the water. Although the nutritional content is not very high, it can still play a certain role in reducing the chance of yellowing leaves.
Two, long-term lack of sunlight
Fortune Bamboo is a shade-tolerant plant, and it is usually kept indoors with limited exposure to sunlight. If it does not receive sunlight for a long time, it can easily cause yellowing leaves, and its leaf color may also become dull and lackluster.
Solutions
If the yellowing of the leaves is caused by long-term lack of light, the yellow leaves can be cut off, the water should be changed frequently to keep it clean, and the vase should be placed in a location with scattered light, making sure not to expose it directly to strong sunlight. A few hours of scattered light a day can meet the plant's growth needs.
Three, too much water in the bottle can cause yellowing leaves
There is a small detail that can easily cause yellowing leaves in Fortune Bamboo, which is not to add too much water to the bottle. Some friends fill the vase with water, and after a period of care, the leaves start to turn yellow.
Solutions
When hydroponically planting Fortune Bamboo, first remove some leaves from the bottom of the stem to prevent the leaves from coming into direct contact with the water surface, otherwise they can rot and affect water quality. Also, do not add too much water to the vase; generally, adding water to 1/3 of the bottle is enough. Too much water can easily cause the plant to develop yellow leaves.
Four, the environment should be ventilated and breathable
When growing Fortune Bamboo indoors in an enclosed and dry environment, it can be very harmful to the plant, causing the leaves to become dry and yellow. Therefore, the care environment is key to successfully growing Fortune Bamboo.
Solutions
When the indoor environment is too dry, the humidity can be increased by spraying water on the plant's leaves, and windows should be opened frequently to ventilate and circulate the air, which benefits plant growth and reduces the occurrence of diseases and pests.
Hydroponic Fortune Bamboo, as long as the water is changed frequently to keep it clean and some nutrient solution is added, placed in a location with scattered light, and the environment is kept well-ventilated, it can generally grow vigorously with fresh, green, and glossy leaves, giving it a vibrant look.
