2 major drawbacks of putting lucky bamboo on the TV cabinet; experts suggest moving it away as soon as possible

These days many people keep foliage plants at home. Why? Because foliage plants are lush and green all year round, and you never have to worry about them not blooming or dropping flowers, since they have no flowers at all. Foliage plants actually have many benefits, such as adding vitality when kept in the living room or bedroom, greening the environment, and purifying indoor air. Of course, compared with flowering plants, foliage plants are much easier to grow. Take the most common lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana), for example: it can survive in just a bottle of water. Caring for lucky bamboo is not difficult, and gardeners do not pay much attention to it; instead, what they care about is the feng shui of lucky bamboo. For example, how many stalks are best to keep, what placement brings good fortune, and so on.

Many gardeners like to place the vase of lucky bamboo on both sides of the TV cabinet at home. Can this position be used? Are there any particular rules? In fact, in flower-growing feng shui, lucky bamboo should not be placed on either side of the TV cabinet or nearby. This can basically be summed up as 2 drawbacks. First, the position of the TV cabinet is not a wealth position at all. Lucky bamboo symbolizes "wealth, peace and good luck," so it naturally should not be placed in this position; it is best placed in the southeast direction of the living room. For example, the southeast corner of a certain console table or coffee table. This position is the most favorable one.

Second, there is relatively strong radiation on both sides of the TV cabinet, and in terms of floor plan, this position is basically in the middle of the living room; this position cannot get sunlight, and even if it does, it is only indirect light. Insufficient sunlight plus the radiation from the TV means that sooner or later the leaves of the lucky bamboo will develop spots, rot, and turn yellow. If it is newly bought lucky bamboo, placed near the TV cabinet, it will also root very slowly. Based on the above 2 drawbacks, keeping lucky bamboo near the TV is incorrect.

Besides the area near the TV cabinet mentioned above, where lucky bamboo cannot be placed, there are also several other places where it cannot be placed. For example, a corner of the room like the one in the picture above, or a dark corner with no light. Of course, a balcony with too strong sunlight is also not suitable for lucky bamboo; after all, it is suited to diffused light, and long-term direct sunlight will scorch the leaves and cause yellowing.

Next, let's talk about the feng shui rules concerning lucky bamboo. How many stalks of lucky bamboo bring the best symbolism? Although there is no clear answer in feng shui, generally keeping 4 or 6 stalks is the most suitable. Some gardeners also keep 8 stalks, but so many crammed into one vase is not good for growth either. As long as you do not keep an odd number, there is no problem.

What should be done when lucky bamboo leaves turn yellow?

When lucky bamboo leaves show signs of yellowing, you must first determine where the problem lies; lighting, water, ventilation, temperature and so on all need to be taken into consideration. Whichever aspect of care is improper must be corrected in time. After determining the cause of the yellow leaves, in addition to correcting it promptly, remember to buy some potassium dihydrogen phosphate powder, dilute it with water, and drip 2-3 drops into the lucky bamboo vase, applying it once every three days; maintain this for half a month and the yellow leaves will decrease, and the plant will grow more and more vigorously.
