How to care for the newly bought富贵竹 (Fortune Bamboo)
This article introduces the experience of caring for newly bought Fortune Bamboo and some tips for hydroponic culture, including the following details:
Fortune Bamboo is a common plant in life, and many people enjoy hydroponic culture because it looks more aesthetically pleasing. However, most people don't know how to hydroponically culture the newly bought Fortune Bamboo and instead place it directly in their home without changing the water or adding nutrient solutions, which can lead to the plant's death. To care for Fortune Bamboo well, you can follow the hydroponic culture tips below.
【I. How to hydroponically culture newly bought Fortune Bamboo】
<1. Water Quality Requirements>
Fortune Bamboo has high requirements for water quality. When growing it in a container, it is best to trim its roots first to enhance nutrient absorption. Tap water is not suitable for its growth because it contains oxygen; the water needs to settle and reduce the concentration of chlorine before use. Generally, water that has been left overnight or cool boiled water can be used.
<2. Regular Water Change>
If you want the Fortune Bamboo to root quickly, it's best to change the water every two to three days. Not changing the water can easily affect the plant's normal growth, and after changing the water, it's best not to move its position. It usually takes about half a month to root, so after rooting, the frequency of water changes can be reduced, and if the water level decreases, it should be replenished in time.
<3. Adding Nutrient Solutions>
After the Fortune Bamboo has rooted, it still needs nutrient solutions, as their function is to promote plant growth. Long-term lack of nutrient solutions can cause the plant to become weak and its leaves to turn yellow. Therefore, adding a few drops of nutrient solution every three weeks can promote growth and make the leaves greener.
【II. Tips for Hydroponic Culture of Fortune Bamboo】
<1. Regular Fertilization>
When caring for newly bought Fortune Bamboo, many enthusiasts not only water it regularly but also fertilize it frequently to help the plant grow better. A few drops of specialized liquid fertilizer can be added during each water change for better results.
<2. Keeping It in a Ventilated Area>
If hydroponically cultured, the plant should be kept indoors, but it should be exposed to sunlight occasionally. There's no need to move it to a sunny area for direct sunlight; keeping it in a shaded area will suffice for its growth.
【III. Precautions for Hydroponic Culture of Fortune Bamboo】
When placing the plant, be cautious about wind exposure and avoid high temperatures. It's best to keep it away from televisions, air conditioners, and fans, otherwise the leaf tips and edges may become dry. It can grow well between 20 to 28 degrees Celsius, and too low temperatures can cause frostbite. It prefers shade, so avoid placing it near windows or balconies. In the summer, be cautious about strong sunlight and cooling.
<Conclusion>
: Through the detailed description above, I believe everyone now knows how to hydroponically culture newly bought Fortune Bamboo. By following the hydroponic culture tips, you can ensure the plant grows healthily. During the cultivation process, be sure to pay attention to avoid excessive watering and fertilization, as it can affect its normal growth.
