What is the hydroponic method for growing lucky bamboo?
The following is an introduction to the hydroponic method for growing lucky bamboo and some tips for beginners planting lucky bamboo in the field of green plants and flowers. Here is the detailed introduction.
“Uh, my lucky bamboo is dying again, the leaves have turned yellow in just a few days” - hearing a friend's complaints reminded me of myself in the beginning, why couldn't I grow it well? Actually, there are some skills to raising lucky bamboo.
Nowadays, with the improvement of living conditions, many families raise some flowers and plants to enhance their quality of life, which can not only decorate and beautify the home but also purify the indoor air. However, many friends wonder why the leaves of the plants I raise sometimes turn yellow. Today, let's talk about how to prevent the leaves of lucky bamboo from turning yellow easily.
1. Good Growing Environment
Lucky bamboo prefers a warm and humid growing environment. The most suitable temperature for its growth is 15-20 degrees. If the temperature of the growing environment is too low, it can cause frostbite, and it's not just a matter of yellow leaves.
Sometimes, the roots may not absorb water well, and the tips and edges of the leaves can also develop brownish spots. In this case, we can increase the root absorption capacity and trim away any necrotic stems.
2. Appropriate Fertilization
If there is too much fertilizer, the leaves will become thick, and only the new leaves will have a shine, while the old leaves will absorb too much, accelerate metabolism, age faster, and gradually turn yellow and fall off.
In this case, stop fertilizing and instead increase the watering to dilute the fertilizer. Of course, too little fertilizer will also make the leaves of the plant thin and yellow.
3. Increase Sunlight
Although lucky bamboo does not have a special need for sunlight, all plants need to receive sunlight since all things grow with the照射 of sunlight. Growth with light exposure will be faster. If you place the plant in a shady area for a long time, insufficient sunlight will cause the leaves to turn yellow.
4. Regular Pruning
The pruning we are talking about here includes trimming the yellow leaves and the root area, as many friends' lucky bamboo roots are overgrown and not pruned. This can cause nutrient loss, as the roots are numerous and not completely absorbed, leading to yellowing or even falling off of the leaves.

5. Avoid Direct Sunlight
Direct sunlight and a too-hot environment can also cause the leaves of lucky bamboo to turn yellow, as the increased light intensity leads to water loss, reducing the moisture in the leaves and resulting in yellowing. Place the lucky bamboo in a spot with scattered light or a slightly shaded area, and supplement water appropriately.
6. Humid but Well-Ventilated
Although lucky bamboo prefers a humid and moist environment, ventilation is indispensable. Air circulation can enhance leaf activity, promote growth, and prevent leaf yellowing. If ventilation is poor in the summer and the plant is not exposed to scattered light, yellowing leaves are common. Pay attention to maintaining ventilation and keeping the temperature from getting too high.
Raising lucky bamboo should be analyzed based on the actual situation, which may involve issues like lighting, root growth, or insufficient fertilization, among many other reasons. Only by addressing the symptoms can we prevent or reduce the yellowing of lucky bamboo leaves and extend our plant's care cycle. However, one thing is for sure: we need to improve our own growing experience, understand the habits of lucky bamboo, and have a clear understanding of these aspects to grow plants with ease and not get flustered when problems arise. So, fellow plant lovers, how much do you know?
