"FORTUNE BAMBOO" Often Has Yellow Leaves
Hydroponic fortune bamboo is loved for its elegant shape, but the yellowing of leaves often troubles growers. Through scientific cultivation methods, not only can the green color of the leaves be restored, but also the plant's disease resistance can be improved, achieving year-round ornamental value.
Brandy Special Care Method
Control of Liquor Dilution Ratio
Add 3-5 drops of brandy to every 500ml of water, keeping the alcohol content within 0.5%. The best application time is in the evening, avoiding strong light to accelerate alcohol evaporation. It is recommended to use it with nutrient solution, not more than 8 times a month.
Technique for Treating Cuttings
After making a 45-degree diagonal cut on the stem, wrap the cutting with a cotton ball and soak it in alcohol for 10 minutes. This operation can not only expand the water absorption area but also disinfect and prevent bacterial infections. It is recommended to trim again every 2 months.
Light Control Strategy
Receiving 2000-3000 lux of scattered light for 4 hours daily, a shade rate of 40% can be adjusted using a gauze curtain. Special attention should be paid to avoid direct illumination from artificial light sources like spotlights, and at night, it should be kept more than 1.5 meters away from desk lamps.
Organic Fertilizer Enhancement Plan
Fermented soybean water diluted at a ratio of 1:50, applied twice a month. For soil-grown plants, 5-8 ripe soybeans can be buried around the pot, while for hydroponic plants, it is recommended to switch to chelated iron nutrient solution, maintaining the EC value between 0.8-1.2mS/cm.
Through the four-dimensional care system of promoting growth with liquor, scientific pruning, precise light control, and nutrient supplementation, the yellow leaf rate can be reduced by 80% or more. It is recommended to establish a care log, recording key parameters such as water pH and light duration, to achieve precise management.
