Why Do the Leaves of Rich bamboo Turn Yellow

This article brings you the experience of green plant maintenance regarding why the leaves of Rich bamboo turn yellow and the causes and solutions for yellowing leaves of Rich bamboo, and the editor will introduce it next.

Near the New Year, many flower enthusiasts will buy a few Rich bamboo sticks when visiting the flower market. On the one hand, this flower has a good meaning, and it is also easy and convenient to hydroponically cultivate! However, it is recommended not to rush to buy Rich bamboo if there is no heating in the house or if the temperature is below 10°C!

Because Rich bamboo is not cold-resistant, in low-temperature environments, it is prone to yellow leaves and rotten roots, which can severely limit its growth! Recently, many flower enthusiasts have told me that their Rich bamboo has yellowed leaves, and it's a large area all at once! So, what I'm talking about today is the issue of yellow leaves in Rich bamboo.

I. Causes and Solutions for Yellow Leaves

Actually, the yellowing of Rich bamboo leaves is caused by many reasons. I have briefly summarized the three most common points, see if you've been caught by any of them!

1. Low Temperature

I mentioned above that Rich bamboo is not cold-resistant, and it will turn yellow leaves when exposed to cold wind, starting from one end of the leaf! At this time, all the yellow leaves should be cut off, and the water temperature can also be slightly increased! By the way, those with heating at home should not be careless either; placing Rich bamboo near the heater can increase the frequency of yellow leaves even more than frostbite!

2. Too Much Sunlight

Although it's winter now, Rich bamboo, like green pothos, should not be kept in a south-facing balcony for long periods, otherwise it can lead to yellow leaves and yellow spots! Similarly, the problematic leaves should be cut off and placed in a well-lit area of the living room to allow them to grow new leaves as soon as possible!

3. Rotten Roots

Yellow leaves alone are fine, but the most troublesome is when yellowing is caused by rotten roots, and this is not something that can be solved by simply changing the location!

When dealing with leaves, the rotting roots should also be cut off, then washed clean with water, soaked in a fungicide solution for half an hour, and finally dried before re-hydroponically cultivating! Note that before Rich bamboo roots, as long as the water quality is fine, there's no need to change the water in a hurry! Even if you don't change the water frequently in winter, you still need to ensure clean water, or it can easily lead to rotten roots!

II. How to Care for Rich bamboo After Buying

1. After buying Rich bamboo, first make a diagonal cut at the bottom of each stem before hydroponically cultivating! Because even with the utmost care during transportation, it still has a lot of bacteria and dust on it, so if you don't cut it before hydroponically cultivating, it may not root!

2. Before rooting, you can find a black plastic bag to cover the vase with, or first use an opaque container for hydroponics, mainly to speed up the rooting process!

3. Due to seasonal reasons, the growth of Rich bamboo may be affected to some extent, so there's no need to change the water too frequently, at least not less than one week apart. When changing the water, leave some of the original water in the bottle and then pour in new water, as this can prevent stimulating the roots!
