How long can the富贵竹 (Fortune Bamboo) be kept
This article brings you knowledge about hydroponic flowers, specifically how long Fortune Bamboo can be kept. Below is an introduction in detail.
It must be said that Fortune Bamboo is definitely a classic ornamental plant, whether it's large potted plants, various small potted shapes, or hydroponically grown Fortune Bamboo. Today, we will talk about two questions that concern plant lovers in addition to the maintenance methods: how long Fortune Bamboo can be kept and how long it can survive when hydroponically grown.
Fortune Bamboo is a perennial plant, so theoretically, it can live for a very long time, possibly several years, a decade, or even longer. However, we need to consider this from a practical perspective and not just from the plant's lifespan.
For example, this plant lover's Fortune Bamboo is said to have been kept for 10 years.
In normal conditions, although Fortune Bamboo can survive in most regions, it often doesn't thrive, staying in a relatively weak state. Moreover, as time goes by, its lower leaves will fall off, and its branches will exhibit phototropic growth (not the attractive shape it had when first bought).
Like this pot of Fortune Bamboo, the top branches are weak and no longer look like they did at the beginning.
The large potted ones, like the ones we had in the company, were kept for about 3 years, and their shape became unattractive. They were eventually thrown away. For hydroponically grown Fortune Bamboo, the reason it looks good at the beginning is that the branches we buy are freshly cut, with full stems and dense leaves. However, after a year or so, you'll find that, except for some branches that have withered, there are only a few thin Fortune Bamboos left in the hydroponic bottle, and the leaves also look droopy, far from the feeling they had when first bought.
There is also a type of Fortune Bamboo arrangement made by拼凑ing many stems together. This kind of Fortune Bamboo usually starts to have problems within about half a year after purchase, and few survive more than a year. Whether it's due to root rot or other reasons, it's rare for them to be kept for several years by plant lovers.
Once a problem occurs in one of the stems in this kind of拼凑ed Fortune Bamboo arrangement, it can quickly become more serious.
In summary, it's true that Fortune Bamboo is a perennial plant. If properly cared for and not concerned about its shape, it can be kept for a long time. However, be prepared for certain psychological expectations with the unusual potted Fortune Bamboo.
The above is an explanation of how long Fortune Bamboo can be kept and how long it can survive when hydroponically grown. I hope it brings a little help to your life!
