Which is easier to care for, Dragon Bamboo or Fortune Bamboo?
The editor introduces the content of planting green plants and flowers about which is easier to care for between Dragon Bamboo and Fortune Bamboo and the skills of caring for Dragon Bamboo at home. Next, the editor will introduce it.
Today, I saw a kind of "thicker Fortune Bamboo" at the flower market, and the product name was written as Dragon Bamboo. I didn't expect that many flower friends are looking for the difference between Dragon Bamboo and Fortune Bamboo, so the editor has learned about their differences from various aspects and summarized them below.
First of all, the maintenance methods of Dragon Bamboo and Fortune Bamboo are the same. Whether it's hydroponics, soil cultivation, or daily care, there is no difference between the two, and they can be treated the same. But their forms are different.
Let's first talk about Dragon Bamboo. The Dragon Bamboo we buy usually has the top of the stem cut off and then several buds sprout. By observing, we can see that the stem of Dragon Bamboo is relatively thick, and the nodes are short and dense.
Now let's look at Fortune Bamboo. Fortune Bamboo is different. The Fortune Bamboo we buy is usually a single branch without cutting the top. The stem is thinner than Dragon Bamboo, and the nodes of the stem are also longer, basically one node every 5 centimeters.
Next, let's talk about their relationship. I couldn't find any academic information about Dragon Bamboo. There is almost no information available. However, the one similar to it is Guanyin Bamboo. Therefore, the editor speculates that Dragon Bamboo is actually Guanyin Bamboo. It's just that merchants have innovated by making Guanyin Bamboo grow taller, peeling off the leaves on the stem, cutting off the top to let it sprout again, thus forming Dragon Bamboo. For merchants, it is not uncommon to change the shape of plants to achieve innovation, especially since Dragon Bamboo belongs to the category of cut flowers.
As for Fortune Bamboo, it is more common. However, there are several kinds of plants transformed from Fortune Bamboo, such as a kind that uses all Fortune Bamboos to make up a plate, which is called "Transfer Bamboo" by some merchants. In essence, it is still Fortune Bamboo, but the merchants have re-shaped it.
The above experience and knowledge about which is easier to care for between Dragon Bamboo and Fortune Bamboo and the skills of caring for Dragon Bamboo at home, I hope this article can provide you with a little help!
