How to grow lucky bamboo in a pot

1. Soil

Lucky bamboo prefers well-drained sandy soil or alluvial clay, preferably acidic soil. When caring for it, you can mix leaf mold and garden soil in a 1:1 ratio.

2. Temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for lucky bamboo is 18-24℃. The plant has very poor cold resistance. When the temperature is below 13℃, the plant will go into dormancy and needs to be kept warm.

3. Fertilization

When lucky bamboo just starts to take root, you need to apply a small amount of compound fertilizer to it, and apply nutrient solution once a month, so that the leaves of the plant will be more shiny.

4. Moisture

The frequency of watering lucky bamboo is different in different seasons. Generally, it can be watered 1-2 times a week in spring and autumn, and watered every day in summer to prevent the leaves of the plant from drying out.

5. Pruning

During the growth process of lucky bamboo, if dry tips or burnt edges appear, these parts need to be cut off in time and then the petioles need to be cleaned.
