Growing Lucky Bamboo for 10 years, an old gardener adds a little something every year, stems thick and leaves green, growing taller node by node

An old gardener has grown "Lucky Bamboo" for 10 years, adding a little "something" each year so it grows taller node by node, with thick stems and green leaves

More and more people love growing flowers, and many friends keep all kinds of plants and flowers at home, like Lucky Bamboo, Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, and Clivia miniata - these are all very common household potted plants. Some in particular, when grown at home, carry beautiful meanings: a Money Tree grown at home symbolizes bringing in wealth and treasure, and Lucky Bamboo grown at home symbolizes good fortune and prosperity, growing higher step by step.

Lucky Bamboo is a very popular household plant. Many flower lovers place a pot of Lucky Bamboo in their living room or entryway. Just like Stone's neighbor, Mr. Zhang, who is a very keen expert at growing flowers and also an old gardener, his Lucky Bamboo has been grown for ten years and has already reached over one meter tall, growing very dense and sturdy.

To make Lucky Bamboo grow dense and sturdy, it naturally needs a suitable growing environment; light, watering, and fertilizing must all be reasonable and appropriate so it can grow healthily, just as Mr. Zhang normally fertilizes his Lucky Bamboo every year.

Lucky Bamboo, take one pill, stems thick and leaves green

Mr. Zhang has grown flowers for ten years and has also summed up many little tips for growing them, such as adding half an aspirin tablet to the Lucky Bamboo's water every year in spring, summer, and autumn. Aspirin tablets contain acetylsalicylic acid, and acetylsalicylic acid has the effect of promoting plant growth and rooting, and also has a sterilizing and disinfecting effect. Especially when growing Lucky Bamboo hydroponically at home, you need to pay attention to disinfection and sterilization, and there also need to be sufficient nutrients in the water. The method of using aspirin is very simple: each time you change the water for the Lucky Bamboo, pour out the water, add half an aspirin to the water, and after it fully dissolves, put the Lucky Bamboo into the bottle and care for it normally. Generally, when changing the water each month, adding half a tablet is enough.

For Lucky Bamboo to grow well, light and ventilation are indispensable

If you want Lucky Bamboo to grow fast and produce emerald green leaves, besides fertilizing, you also need to increase light and ventilation. Generally, after keeping Lucky Bamboo in the living room or entryway for a week, you need to move it to the balcony to receive a day of light, so that the Lucky Bamboo can carry out sufficient photosynthesis and is less likely to develop yellow leaves. Many flower lovers encounter the situation where the Lucky Bamboo leaves at home are dull and yellowing. In fact, this has a lot to do with the plant's ventilation and light, so when growing Lucky Bamboo, you cannot leave it in a poorly lit environment for a long time.

If you want the Lucky Bamboo at home to grow dense and sturdy, there is another method: growing it in soil, because after planting in soil, the plant can absorb sufficient nutrients and will grow sturdier than in hydroponics. So generally, the Lucky Bamboo that grows tall and strong is grown in soil.
