Growing a few potted plants at home in summer is very pleasant; they not only decorate the room but also purify the air. Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) is a very good potted plant, symbolizing wealth and prosperity, and is a houseplant with extremely high ornamental value. Many flower lovers like hydroponic Lucky Bamboo, because hydroponics is cleaner and easier to care for. But when caring for Lucky Bamboo in summer, some flower lovers say it is hard to root, and it also tends to develop yellow leaves.

So how should hydroponic Lucky Bamboo be cared for in summer? First, prune the Lucky Bamboo you just bought from the flower market: if there are yellow leaves, trim them off, then cut the base at a 45 degree angle. Apply some carbendazim to the base to disinfect and sterilize it.

Next, the container used for growing it must be clean and transparent, so it is convenient for us to observe the water quality and deal with water quality problems in time. But most flower lovers will directly use tap water to grow Lucky Bamboo, which is not okay; it will not only cause yellow leaves on the Lucky Bamboo but also slow rooting.

If you must use tap water, we must first draw it out and let it sit for a few days, so that the substances in it that Lucky Bamboo does not need settle out or evaporate before use. To promote fast rooting in Lucky Bamboo, we can add one aspirin tablet to the hydroponic container; this can make Lucky Bamboo root abundantly and quickly, with new leaves sprouting rapidly. If Lucky Bamboo is prone to yellow leaves, you can also add a rusty iron nail to the hydroponic container to supplement iron for the Lucky Bamboo, but the editor does not recommend this method, because it will affect the ornamental value of the Lucky Bamboo.

Hydroponic Lucky Bamboo is not suitable for care in high-temperature weather. If the temperature is too high, spray water beside the container to lower the air temperature. Absolutely avoid direct sunlight and electric fan blowing. Generally, there is no need to change the water often; just add an appropriate amount of water when the water level in the container drops.
