1. Can lucky bamboo be grown in soil?

Lucky bamboo can be grown in soil. Although many people now use hydroponics to grow lucky bamboo, it is also feasible to use soil cultivation. Moreover, it is inconvenient to cultivate relatively large plants using hydroponics, and most of them are cultivated using soil cultivation. In addition, because the nutrient content in the soil is much higher than that in water, plants grown in soil are usually stronger than plants grown in water.

2. How to grow lucky bamboo in soil

1. Potting soil: When planting it, be sure to use loose, breathable, well-drained and nutrient-rich soil. This kind of soil is conducive to the growth of its roots. Specifically, you can use leaf mold or peat soil, add river sand and garden soil and a small amount of base fertilizer to prepare its culture soil.

2. Watering: It likes moisture. When raising it, be sure to water it in time. During the growing season in spring and autumn, it needs to be watered every 3-5 days to keep the soil moist. This will make it grow better.

3. Fertilization: It is a plant that likes fertilizer. During the growing season, top dressing should be done every 15-20 days. Liquid fertilizer or foliar fertilizer can be used for top dressing. Before each topdressing, you should be careful to dilute the fertilizer in advance to avoid concentrated fertilizer damaging the roots.

4. Light and temperature: It likes a warm and bright growing environment. When caring for it, it is best to place it in a location with diffuse light and control the temperature between 15-25℃. You can let it receive more light in winter, but pay attention to shading in summer and do not let it be exposed to strong light.
