Lucky Bamboo is one of the plants best suited to hydroponics and is grown in countless households. When propagated by water cuttings it roots very easily, and care and management are fairly simple. At temperatures of 18-28°C it stays in a growing state all year round.
Before placing hydroponic Lucky Bamboo in a vase, remove the leaves from the base of the cutting and cut the base into a slanted opening with a sharp knife; the cut should be smooth to increase the area for absorbing water and nutrients.
When Lucky Bamboo is grown hydroponically from a formed plant by the root-washing method, you can see that the original soil-grown roots are orange-red, but under hydroponics the new roots that emerge are indeed milky white; the red and white set each other off and look very attractive. Lucky Bamboo is elegant and fresh, evergreen all year round, and carries the meaning of bamboo bringing news of peace and wealth and good fortune, so it is deeply loved by people.
Hydroponic Lucky Bamboo likes "stale" water, so after rooting it should not be given fresh water changes; when the water level drops through evaporation, simply top it up in time. Frequent water changes easily cause yellow leaves and withered branches. To prevent leggy growth, do not apply chemical fertilizer; it is best to add a few drops of brandy to the vase about every 3 weeks, plus a small amount of nutrient solution, which will keep the leaves emerald green.
Lucky Bamboo dislikes wind; do not place hydroponic Lucky Bamboo next to a television or where an air conditioner or electric fan blows on it often, to avoid the leaf tips and leaf edges drying out.
" Conclusion:Hydroponic Lucky Bamboo beautifies the home and increases air humidity, and the bamboo's message is: flowers bloom for wealth and honor, bamboo brings news of peace, great fortune and great prosperity, a lifetime of wealth and honor; placing it at home also carries a very good meaning. It is the New Year, so grow a hydroponic Lucky Bamboo!
