How to grow lucky bamboo so it stays greener? Master these care tips
To make lucky bamboo greener, its nutrient and water uptake needs to be more balanced. You can add nutrient elements to the water or use diluted fertilizer for foliar feeding. To supplement nutrient elements, you can increase the nitrogen level in the fertilizer, and add some chelated iron to the water so it can absorb iron ions better, and the leaves will become greener.
1. Balanced nutrients
If you want to make lucky bamboo greener, its nutrient uptake needs to be fairly balanced. For plants grown in water, nutrient uptake is relatively poorer than in a soil environment. We can supplement nutrient elements by adding them to the water and by using diluted fertilizer for foliar feeding.
Among the nutrient elements you supplement, if you want the leaf color to be greener and the leaves to grow more robust, you can raise the nitrogen level slightly in the fertilizer.
2. Add an iron-containing preparation
Another option is to add some chelated iron to the water, so that water-grown lucky bamboo can absorb iron ions better, and its leaves will become darker and greener.
