Lily Bamboo is a common ornamental foliage plant, and there are also varieties such as Golden Edge Lily Bamboo and Golden Heart Lily Bamboo. Some plant enthusiasts have asked how to care for Lily Bamboo. Generally speaking, the maintenance method is similar to that of the富贵竹 (F ortune Bamboo) grown in soil. Here are some daily maintenance precautions.
(1) Lily Bamboo has good adaptability and can grow in clay and sandy soil, but it grows best in loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil rich in humus. A mixture of one part each of plant nutrient soil, decayed leaf soil, and river sand can be used.
(2) The optimal growth temperature is between 20 to 30°C. The best overwintering temperature is above 10°C, as it is not tolerant to low temperatures. It requires a certain level of humidity during growth, otherwise the leaf color will become dull and the luster will decrease. It is advisable to frequently spray water on the plant during the growing period, and if possible, increase the humidity in the environment.
(3) Lily Bamboo enjoys sunlight but avoids direct sunlight in summer. For home maintenance, it can be placed under a south window or on a balcony, avoiding direct sunlight only during the summer. In other seasons, it is best to provide some sunlight, otherwise the golden stripes in the center of the leaves will become dull or disappear, significantly reducing its ornamental value.
(4) Lily Bamboo has a wide tolerance for water. Light drought or waterlogging will not cause much damage, but it is best to water thoroughly after the surface of the potting soil dries out, which is beneficial for its growth. Alternating between wetting and drying when watering can make the branches and leaves dense, the internodes compact, and enhance its ornamental value.
