What should you do when lucky bamboo leaves turn yellow? First determine whether it is water-cultured or soil-cultured, then solve it

Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) is a plant that many gardening friends like to grow. Lucky bamboo has good symbolism and is emerald green all over, deeply loved by everyone. It is exactly this all-over emerald green appearance that makes many people bring it home as a decoration. But someone told Huahua that the lucky bamboo they grow at home has yellow leaves, which worried them terribly.

Today Huahua will tell everyone what to do if lucky bamboo turns yellow?

Yellow leaves on lucky bamboo come from two situations. One is water-cultured lucky bamboo, and the other is soil-cultured lucky bamboo. Although both are growing lucky bamboo, they must be treated differently. The solutions are not the same.

First, let me tell everyone what to do when soil-cultured lucky bamboo leaves turn yellow.

1. Ventilate frequently

Yellowing of soil-cultured lucky bamboo is mainly caused by poor air circulation. Think about it: do you often just put lucky bamboo indoors and hardly pay attention to it? When thunderstorm weather comes, or when the air conditioner is on, do you close the doors and windows? It is precisely these various reasons that cause lucky bamboo leaves to turn yellow. A large part of lucky bamboo's value is that it looks nice placed at home. If lucky bamboo leaves turn yellow, then has lucky bamboo not lost its value?

2. Keep away from electrical appliances

Household electrical appliances mostly carry radiation, such as TVs, air conditioners, and computers. These appliances are not good for the growth of lucky bamboo. Therefore, we should place lucky bamboo somewhere farther from electrical appliances to grow it, preventing radiation from harming lucky bamboo and causing its leaves to turn yellow.

3. Pay attention to shading

Although lucky bamboo is a foliage plant and needs sufficient light, it should not be exposed to strong light all the time. Excessive or overly strong sunlight will cause lucky bamboo leaves to turn yellow and become unsightly. Everyone should also pay attention to this.

What should you do when water-cultured lucky bamboo leaves turn yellow?

1. Stop applying chemical fertilizer

Because of water culture, many friends think that lucky bamboo lacks some nutrients compared with soil-cultured lucky bamboo. Actually, not necessarily. Water culture and soil culture are actually the same, so everyone should not increase the frequency of fertilizing lucky bamboo, especially chemical fertilizer. Once chemical fertilizer is not applied well, the phenomenon of yellow leaves will appear.

2. Control the temperature

Winter is the time when water-cultured lucky bamboo is most prone to yellow leaves. At this time, if the temperature is too low, it will cause lucky bamboo leaves to turn yellow. So Huahua wants to remind everyone to take good measures to keep lucky bamboo warm in winter.

3. Water with a little alum fertilizer water

Alum fertilizer water can effectively provide lucky bamboo with some iron. The reason lucky bamboo lacks iron is mainly a water problem. If the water lacks iron, it will cause the phenomenon of yellow leaves on lucky bamboo. So Huahua reminds everyone that when changing the water, you can also water with a little alum fertilizer water, or put in a rusty screw, which also works.
