Ideally, the Lucky Bamboo is therefore in the bathroom or in the kitchen. The room temperature should be at least around 20 ° C. In a warm summer he can also stand in the garden or on the balcony. However, the temperatures should not drop below about 18 ° C even at night. It stops growing at temperatures below 17 - 18 ° C.
Plant the lucky bamboo
The lucky bamboo can be kept in hydroponics or in a vase, but it can also be planted in soil. Just decide according to your preferences. Switching from a vase to hydroponics or vice versa, as well as from vase or hydroponics to potting soil usually works without any problems.
If you have bought a lucky bamboo planted in soil, you should continue to cultivate it in soil. When moving, make sure that the roots are as deep in water, substrate or soil as they were before you changed the container. The water and potting soil should be as low in lime as possible.
Water and fertilize lucky bamboo properly
The lucky bamboo doesn't need a lot of water, but the water level in the vase shouldn't drop too much either. It is best to water with stale water or rainwater. Chalky tap water is not good for your lucky bamboo at all. In the vase or in hydroponics you should also fertilize the Lucky Bamboo regularly. If, on the other hand, it grows in soil, it only needs a little fertilizer.
Bring the lucky bamboo into shape
Sometimes you will find very bizarre shaped lucky bamboo in stores. The individual stems are intertwined or grow in curves and arcs. With a little patience you can do this yourself. Young, still quite soft shoots can be braided or wrapped around each other. This shape is retained with a wire.
Propagate the lucky bamboo
The propagation of lucky bamboo is very easy. You can divide the trunk into several pieces and root or cut cuttings and put them in water. It is best to use side shoots for this.
The care of the lucky bamboo in brief:
- place light and warm
- ensure sufficient humidity
- pour with low-lime water
- fertilize sufficiently
Tips
