Many people like lucky bamboo. Keeping a bunch of lucky bamboo at home with oily-green, glossy leaves full of vitality is most people's wish, but in reality, the lucky bamboo we grow either has yellow leaves or dry tips, or else has root rot, which is annoying as can be. Is there any quick way to keep lucky bamboo green all the time? Of course there is

Quick greening method

Dilute leftover beer at a ratio of 1:50, then dip a soft cloth in it and wipe the leaves. After wiping, the leaves will become deep green and glossy, shiny and bright. Wiping the leaves this way not only increases their brightness but also has the effect of fertilizing outside the roots. Wipe once or twice a month, and the effect is very obvious

Long-term method

Wiping the leaves with beer works quickly, but in the end it is only surface shine, like a person applying cosmetics; it cannot solve the problem at the root. We still need to take good care of it so that lucky bamboo is glossy from the inside out

1. There must be sufficient nutrients

For hydroponic lucky bamboo, it can only grow well by absorbing nutrients from the water, but if we do not add a little weak fertilizer to the water, the lucky bamboo will become thinner and thinner from malnutrition. So for hydroponic lucky bamboo, give it nutrient solution once or twice a month. If it is soil-cultured lucky bamboo, you can apply a nitrogen-based fertilizer once or twice a month. With sufficient nutrients this way, lucky bamboo can be full of vitality from the inside out and stay green all the time

2. Light

With sufficient light and rich nutrients, photosynthesis is relatively full, and lucky bamboo leaves naturally grow well. If the light is too strong or too weak, it will affect the health and color of lucky bamboo leaves. Apart from the three periods of winter and early spring and late autumn, at other times it is best to keep lucky bamboo in a spot with diffused light for care, and do not expose it to the sun

3. Humidity

Lucky bamboo is a plant from the south and likes a warm, humid environment. During the growing season of lucky bamboo, mist it with water every few days to increase air humidity, which can effectively prevent dry tips and yellow leaves on lucky bamboo

4. Temperature

Lucky bamboo is very afraid of cold. If winter is too cold, it is very hard for it to get through the winter. The suitable temperature for it is around 20 degrees. If the temperature is suitable and water and fertilizer are sufficient, lucky bamboo will grow very fast, with broad, oily-green leaves. If summer is too hot or winter is too cold, growth will slow down, and the leaf color will easily become darker.

Little methods to make lucky bamboo leaves glossy

1. Insert an iron nail into the flowerpot or vase where lucky bamboo is grown, or after a period of time water it with a small amount of ferrous sulfate, which can keep the leaves emerald green.

2. After a period of time, wipe the leaves with clean water or a damp cloth. Dust accumulated on the leaves will affect their appearance and growth.

If you do the above points, growing lucky bamboo well is a very simple matter, and it will never have yellow leaves or dry tips again. However, hydroponic lucky bamboo will not bloom, because the nutrients in the water are very few. If it is transplanted into potting soil, with suitable temperature, humidity and light, and cared for well, it will bloom, very fresh and pleasant,
