What to do when hydroponic lucky bamboo leaves turn yellow? Teach you the correct remedy

Lucky bamboo is a common ornamental flowering plant with high ornamental value. It is cultivated throughout China and is welcomed by many people. There are now many ways to grow lucky bamboo, including open-field cultivation, pot cultivation and hydroponics. When cared for at home, it is mostly grown hydroponically, but when lucky bamboo is grown in water, its leaves often turn yellow. So how do you rescue hydroponic lucky bamboo when its leaves turn yellow? Let's take a look together below!

1. Clean the water quality

When growing lucky bamboo hydroponically, if the water quality deteriorates or the water becomes polluted, then the roots of the lucky bamboo will be affected by the pollution, which then affects the lucky bamboo's absorption of water and nutrients. In severe cases, it can also cause the roots of the lucky bamboo to rot, which in turn causes the lucky bamboo's leaves to turn yellow. Therefore, we should promptly pour out the water and replace it with clean water. After about a week of care, there will be some improvement, and when growing it hydroponically, we should also pay attention to doing the regular water changes well, to avoid the water quality deteriorating and the roots becoming polluted.

2. Light control

During the growth period of lucky bamboo, we should pay attention to maintaining a good light environment. Light is very important for the growth of lucky bamboo. If lucky bamboo grows in a dark environment for a long time without receiving sufficient light, then the chlorophyll content in the leaves of the lucky bamboo will decrease, causing the leaves to lose their green colour and turn yellow. Therefore, when growing lucky bamboo, we should provide it with sufficient light. But do not let strong light shine directly on it; mainly use scattered light to ensure the normal growth of the lucky bamboo, avoid the yellowing of leaves, and improve the ornamental value of the lucky bamboo.

3. Reasonable fertilisation

Improper fertilisation is also one of the main causes of yellow leaves in lucky bamboo. After too much fertiliser, the tips of the new leaves of the lucky bamboo will gradually turn dry and brown, and the leaves will be both thick and lustreless. Moreover, the surface will become uneven and difficult to spread out. If they are old leaves, they will gradually wither, turn yellow and fall off. At this time, you should promptly change the water, cut off the yellow leaves, and stop fertilising, so that it gradually returns to normal. However, if the fertilisation is insufficient, then the tender leaves of the lucky bamboo will gradually become pale, and at this time you should appropriately add fertiliser to meet its nutritional needs.

4. Supplement iron

During its growth process, lucky bamboo has a relatively large and fairly comprehensive demand for nutrients. In particular, various trace elements are also indispensable, and among them iron is a very important one. If iron is insufficient, then lucky bamboo is very prone to yellow leaves. So if the yellowing of lucky bamboo leaves is caused by iron deficiency, then we should pay attention to dripping an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate into the water. You can also put two nails in, to supplement iron for the lucky bamboo, which can effectively alleviate the yellowing of lucky bamboo leaves.
