How to care for富贵竹 (Fortune Bamboo)
1. Fortune Bamboo is afraid of direct sunlight
Because it prefers bright diffused light and is also a relatively shade-tolerant green plant. If kept in a semi-shaded area with diffused light for a long time, its leaves will still be green and glossy. However, if exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the leaves will easily turn yellow, or become wilted and dry, with the leaf tips drying out. Therefore, it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight.
Especially in summer, of course, it should not be kept in a completely dark place either. It can be placed near a window, in a closed balcony, or on the side of the living room entrance, where there is bright diffused light. This way, its branches and leaves will look very green and beautiful, very lush.
2. Fortune Bamboo is afraid of excessive fertilizer or lack of nutrients
Hydroponic Fortune Bamboo actually does not need much nutrition. Do not give it nutrients every day, or pour too much nutrient solution at once. Especially before it grows roots, it does not have the ability to absorb nutrients, so do not fertilize or add nutrient solution before it grows roots. Wait until it grows faster and the roots come out, then add one or two drops of nutrient solution, which will be enough for its needs and for normal growth.
