Why are the leaves of the lucky bamboo splitting open, and what should be done?
1. Normal care
(1) Specific cause: If this happens to a plant that was just bought, it may be a normal phenomenon. This is because the plant has not yet fully adapted to its surroundings.
(2) Solution: If this is the cause, there is no need to worry too much, and no special measures are needed. It just needs normal care, and after a period of adaptation it will be fine.
2. Proper shading
(1) Specific cause: If the light is too intense, or the plant is kept under direct light for a long time, leaf splitting may occur.
(2) Solution: Once noticed, promptly place it in a shady spot for a period of care. After this phenomenon eases, resume normal care; indirect light is enough to meet its needs.
3. Avoid strong wind
(1) Specific cause: Ventilation is necessary. However, if there is too much wind, or if it blows for a long time, the leaves may split open.
(2) Solution: Ventilation should be moderate. The time should not be too long.
4. Plenty of water
(1) Specific cause: Lucky bamboo needs a lot of water. If it is watered too little and the environment is too dry, its leaves may split open.
(2) Solution: Water it once every two or three days. If the soil dries out quickly, the frequency should also be higher. The ambient humidity should also be a bit higher.
5. Use water after it has been left in the sun
Water quality is also very important. It must be left in the sun for two days before use, otherwise the problem of leaves splitting open is also likely to occur.
