Care Instructions:
- Light: Lucky Bamboo prefers bright, indirect light but can also thrive in lower light conditions. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal for its growth.
- Watering: Lucky Bamboo is typically grown in water. Change the water every 1-2 weeks to prevent stagnation and keep the plant healthy. If grown in soil, keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Always use filtered or distilled water if possible, as chlorine or fluoride in tap water can damage the plant.
- Temperature: Lucky Bamboo enjoys warm indoor temperatures ranging from 65°F to 95°F (18°C to 35°C). Keep it away from cold drafts or areas with extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Humidity: Lucky Bamboo thrives in a relatively humid environment. If your home is dry, especially during winter, consider misting the leaves occasionally to help maintain healthy growth.
- Soil vs. Water: While the Lucky Bamboo can grow in soil, it thrives in water, where it can develop strong, healthy roots. If you choose to plant it in soil, ensure the pot has good drainage and use a well-draining potting mix.
- Fertilizing: Feed your Lucky Bamboo with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Be careful not to over-fertilize, as this can cause the plant to become weak or discolored.
- Pruning: Trim any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance. If your Lucky Bamboo grows too tall or gets unruly, you can prune the stalks back to encourage new growth and keep it looking tidy.
