5. Things to note

If you want water bamboo to survive the winter safely, you must take measures to prevent cold and keep warm, and ensure that the maintenance temperature is above 5℃. More sunshine in winter can not only increase the maintenance temperature, but also allow the water bamboo to carry out photosynthesis and accumulate nutrients to survive the winter safely. For hydroponics, the water needs to be changed frequently during indoor maintenance. If the maintenance temperature is low, the hydroponics can be converted into potting soil. Appropriate water control should be used to maintain micro-moisture in the soil. There should be plenty of ventilation to allow water bamboos to survive the winter safely.

1. Protection from cold and warmth

Water bamboo is afraid of freezing. If the maintenance temperature is lower than 5℃, the plant will be easily frostbitten, and the leaves may even turn yellow and die. It is necessary to move the potted plants to an indoor heating room for maintenance before the annual frost to give the water bamboo a warm environment.

2. Get more sun

The light in winter is warm and soft. When growing water bamboo indoors, you must get more sun. Enough sunlight can increase the indoor maintenance temperature and allow water bamboo to survive the winter safely. Good light also helps water bamboo accumulate nutrients and keep its leaves green and shiny.

3. Change water regularly

When maintaining water bamboo indoors in winter, if it is hydroponically grown, pay attention to regularly changing clean water. The clean water should be dried for one day in advance to keep the water temperature consistent with the air temperature to prevent the plant's root system from rotting due to water pollution and low water temperature.

4. Convert water to soil culture

If the indoor temperature is low, it is best to convert hydroponic plants to soil culture. After converting to soil culture, properly control the water, so that To reduce the possibility of water bamboo being frostbitten, wait until next spring when the flowers bloom, then gradually increase the amount of watering, or wash the roots before converting to hydroponics.

5. Precautions

Winter When maintaining water bamboo indoors, keep away from the window. Do not let the water bamboo be blown by cold wind. However, do not make the maintenance environment too closed. You can open the window at noon every day when the temperature is the best for ventilation to replace the water bamboo with fresh air and prevent water bamboo diseases and insect pests. happened.
