4. Precautions

To fertilize Lucky Bamboo, you need to use base fertilizer when growing in soil, and top-dressing in the growth period. Both hydroponics and soil culture need top-dressing. Bone meal can be used as the base fertilizer, compound fertilizer can be used as top dressing for soil cultured plants, and nutrient solution can be used as top dressing for hydroponic plants. Base fertilizer needs to be mixed directly into the substrate, and top dressing can be diluted and sprinkled on the surface of the soil or dripped directly into the water; it is better to control the frequency at 20-30 days each time; foliar fertilizer can also be used appropriately. Be careful not to fertilize during the dormant period.

1. Fertilization time

To fertilize Lucky Bamboo, the first step is basal fertilizer, which is for soil-cultured plants. The other is top dressing during the growth period, which is applicable to both water-cultured Lucky Bamboo and soil-cultivated Lucky Bamboo, specifically from spring to autumn.

2. Types of fertilizers

The base fertilizers used in soil culture are mainly solid substances, such as bone meal, which contain more nutrients. The type of fertilizer used in top dressing is related to the cultivation method. Soil culture uses some compound fertilizers, and hydroponics uses some nutrient solutions.

3. Fertilization method

1. The operation method of base fertilizer is relatively simple. Just add it directly to the soil and mix it evenly. When applying fertilizer, for soil cultivation, it can be diluted and applied to the surface of the substrate, while for hydroponics, a few drops can be added directly to the water. Regardless of the cultivation method, the amount cannot be too much.

2. It is better to control the fertilization interval at about 20-30 days, not too frequently.

3. Furthermore, since Lucky Bamboo is a foliage plant, the state of its leaves is very important. You can usually use some foliar fertilizer appropriately and apply it on the surface of the leaves.

IV. Precautions

In winter, lucky bamboo may enter a dormant period, so there is no need to fertilize at this time, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage.
