The soil method for growing lucky bamboo is actually not difficult, and daily care is very simple; just keep the soil moist. In areas with dry air, remember to spray water more often to increase humidity.

Repotting

Potted lucky bamboo can be grown in a mix of leaf mold, garden soil and river sand, or a growing medium made by mixing coconut coir and leaf mold, coal cinder ash with a small amount of chicken manure, peanut meal and compound fertilizer.

Watering

During the growing season, keep the potting soil moist at all times; never let the potting soil dry out, especially in midsummer. Spray water on the leaves often, as overly dry conditions will cause the leaf tips and leaves to dry up. In winter, the potting soil should not be too wet, but the leaves should still be sprayed frequently, and take care to protect against cold and frost so the leaves do not turn yellow, shrivel and drop off.

Fertilizing

Apply a nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once every 20-25 days, keep the potting soil moist, and prevent the leaf tips from drying up. It is best to place it on a balcony facing away from the north and toward the sun.

Light

In spring and autumn, give it appropriately more light, 3-4 hours of light per day, to keep the leaves brightly colored. In summer and autumn, shade it appropriately and spray water once a day to wash dust off the leaf surface, so it grows more vigorously and the leaves are greener.

Temperature

It is suited to well-drained sandy loam. The suitable growing temperature is 20-30°C, and the overwintering temperature is 10°C.
