A brief knowledge sharing on how to hydroponically culture Fortune Bamboo and the related experience on growing it well, let's take a look together below.
Hydroponic culture of Fortune Bamboo: Pay attention to 4 "small details" to make it grow lush and leafy
Cultivating a few Fortune Bamboo sticks in a beautiful vase at home is not only fresh and natural but also has a very good air purification effect. Raising Fortune Bamboo through hydroponics is cleaner and more hygienic than potting, and it is easier to maintain, making this method of cultivating Fortune Bamboo very popular among flower enthusiasts.
However, some flower enthusiasts often encounter problems such as the plant not rooting or the leaves turning yellow during the hydroponic culture of Fortune Bamboo. Actually, just by paying attention to 4 "small details," it can quickly root and grow lush and leafy.
One, properly handle the branches
Many flower enthusiasts fail to get their Fortune Bamboo to root for a long time because they did not handle the branches properly before hydroponics. The cut ends of the branches we buy are often too dehydrated, and some are dry, making it difficult for them to absorb water after hydroponics. The branches need to be simply treated before hydroponics.
The branch treatment is very simple; just cut off a section from the bottom cut end to reach fresh tissue, which allows better water absorption. Also, clean the leaves from the bottom of the branch, as these leaves can easily cause yellowing when soaked in water.
Two, do not fill the vase with too much water
Many beginners in hydroponic culture always fill the vase with clean water, which can easily cause yellowing of the Fortune Bamboo leaves. Its stem also needs to breathe, and when most of it is submerged in water, it can easily cause yellowing.
Actually, there is no need to add too much water to the vase, just add it to 1/3 of the vase or about 8 cm in depth, and add more water when the water level drops.
For newly hydroponic Fortune Bamboo, it is important to change the water frequently to keep it clean, or you can use distilled water, which can help it root faster and prevent the growth of algae in the bottle.

Three, regularly supplement nutrients
Hydroponic Fortune Bamboo also needs sufficient nutrients to grow. If only water is used, the plant will become increasingly weak later, and the leaves will turn yellow, losing their vitality. Therefore, once the Fortune Bamboo starts growing roots, you can add some dilute fertilizer to the water to supplement the nutrients for the plant, allowing it to grow lush.
Many flower enthusiasts simply change the water without knowing how to fertilize and supplement nutrients. Actually, for hydroponic flowers, it is generally necessary to add flower nutrient solution to the water. After each water change, add a few drops to the water, and do not add too much, which can make the plant grow vigorously and the leaves greener and brighter.
Four, afraid of direct sunlight
Fortune Bamboo is a plant that prefers semi-shade and is afraid of being placed in direct sunlight. Many people who are unfamiliar with its growing habits often put it in the sun, which can sunburn the leaves, causing the plant to develop yellow leaves and wither.
When hydroponically cultivating Fortune Bamboo at home, it can be kept in an environment without direct sunlight and well-ventilated. Occasionally, it can be exposed to some weak scattered light, but it should never be kept in direct sunlight for long periods, or it is prone to yellowing.
If you can't seem to grow hydroponic Fortune Bamboo well, first check where the problem lies, and then pay more attention to these small details during maintenance to make it root quickly and grow lush and leafy.
