How to care for lucky bamboo in winter so it doesn't die

1. Points to note when changing the water for lucky bamboo in winter: generally, after lucky bamboo has been grown for a period of time, it will grow many small fine roots. In winter, we should try to switch from changing the water to adding water. Once roots have formed, it is not suitable to change the water; after the water evaporates, you can only add water in time. Frequent water changes easily cause yellow leaves and withered branches. The water added is best well water; the water must be kept clean and fresh. Do not use dirty water, hard water or water mixed with oil, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

2. Suitable temperature for lucky bamboo growth in winter, maintain an appropriate indoor temperature. Keep the indoor temperature suitable; lucky bamboo grows best between 16°C and 26°C, and cold easily causes the plant to die. In winter, do not place it on balconies, beside windows or other colder places, and never let the water freeze. Take antifreeze measures when necessary. But if you choose to use an air conditioner at home, try to keep the temperature between 16°C and 26°C.

3. Ensure sufficient light in winter as well: everyone knows that as long as they are plants, they will carry out some photosynthesis, and lucky bamboo is no exception. Although lucky bamboo is a shade-loving plant and is generally placed indoors, with low requirements for sunlight, if it cannot receive any sunlight at all, the leaves will also turn yellow and grow poorly. So it should be placed in a bright and ventilated environment as much as possible, so that it fully receives light. This is more beneficial to the growth of lucky bamboo in winter;

4. Choose a suitable watering method according to the cultivation method of lucky bamboo: it also depends on what cultivation method your lucky bamboo uses. Currently there are three main cultivation methods for lucky bamboo: first, soil culture; second, water culture; third, bottle insertion. For water culture, in winter you may change the clean water about once a week as appropriate. In winter, prevent frost damage; in the north, do not place it outdoors, and the indoor temperature should preferably not be lower than 10°C. Otherwise the leaves will easily turn yellow. For water culture, avoid the water freezing and frostbiting the roots.

5. Placement and appropriate fertilization of lucky bamboo in winter: do not place lucky bamboo next to a TV or in places often blown by an air conditioner or electric fan, so as to avoid dryness of the leaf tips and leaf edges. It is best to place it in a place with sufficient light and apply a small amount of compound fertilizer in real time, then the leaves will be glossy green and the stems thick and strong. If no fertilizer is applied for a long time, the plant will grow weakly and the leaves will easily turn yellow. But fertilization must not be excessive, so as to avoid "burning the roots" or causing excessive vegetative growth.
