What fertilizer is good for lucky bamboo

What fertilizer to use for lucky bamboo

1. The growth process of lucky bamboo requires certain fertilizers, which need to be applied once in spring and autumn to meet the growth needs of lucky bamboo. After rooting, use some compound fertilizers to make the plant stronger.

2. Lucky bamboo needs a lot of nutrients during its growth period. Use diluted nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once every 2-3 months. The growth of the plant requires the supplement of various trace elements. The compound fertilizer is rich in nutrients and promotes its rapid growth.

3. Nitrogen fertilizer: Nitrogen fertilizer promotes leaf growth, but it cannot be used for a long time. If the dosage is too large, it will easily burn. If the dosage is too large for a long time, it will easily cause a lack of other elements. Therefore, you must use a multi-element mixed fertilizer with nitrogen as the main element.

How to fertilize lucky bamboo

The base fertilizer of lucky bamboo can be directly added to the soil and mixed evenly. When applying topdressing, the soil-grown fertilizer can be diluted and applied to the surface of the substrate. The interval between fertilization should be controlled within 20-30 days. You can use some foliar fertilizer appropriately at ordinary times. Lucky bamboo may enter a dormant period in winter, so no fertilizer is needed at this time.

Lucky bamboo does not require much fertilizer. When the room temperature is below 15 degrees, it is not recommended to apply fertilizer to avoid fertilizer damage. Fertilization generally needs to wait until March to April in the spring when the room temperature is relatively high. When lucky bamboo is growing luxuriantly, you can apply 1 to 2 thin compound liquid fertilizers per month to promote the growth of branches and leaves.

Key points for fertilizing lucky bamboo

1. Lucky bamboo is prone to root rot. When the roots are burned, you need to remove the rotten parts of the roots in time and then disinfect them. Put the treated roots in soil or water and place them in a cool place for a few days, and new roots will grow.

2. Lucky bamboo likes bright scattered light and needs to be given appropriate light after fertilizing. If it is placed in a dark place for a long time, the leaves will easily turn yellow.
