Lotus Bamboo Plant

Plant Care.

1. Light:

• Lucky Bamboo prefers bright, indirect light. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.
• Avoid low light conditions, as they can cause the plant to become weak and leggy.

2. Watering:

• Keep the roots of your Lotus Lucky Bamboo submerged in water at all times. Use clean, distilled water, filtered water, or tap water that has been left to sit for at least 24 hours to allow chlorine to dissipate.
• Change the water every 2-4 weeks to prevent stagnation and the build-up of mineral deposits. Ensure that the roots are always submerged.

3. Temperature and Humidity:

• Maintain indoor room temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Lucky Bamboo can tolerate slight temperature variations.
• Lucky Bamboo can adapt to normal indoor humidity levels but will appreciate occasional misting or placing a humidity tray nearby.

4. Fertilizing:

• Fertilize your Lucky Bamboo sparingly, using a very diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer) every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring through summer). Reduce or halt fertilization in the dormant winter months.

5. Container and Potting:

• Keep your Lotus Lucky Bamboo in a clean glass or ceramic container with enough room to accommodate its roots. It’s important to ensure the roots are always submerged in water.
• Avoid using containers with a small opening or tight-fitting lids that could restrict the growth and access to air.

6. Pruning and Maintenance:

• Prune your Lucky Bamboo as needed to maintain its desired shape. Trim yellow or damaged leaves at the base.
• Remove any slimy or discolored roots, and ensure they remain submerged in clean water.

7. Support and Staking:

• If your Lucky Bamboo has spiral or braided stems, you may need to support them with stakes or ties to maintain their shape.

8. Pests and Diseases:

• Lucky Bamboo is relatively resistant to pests and diseases. However, be vigilant for signs of rot or mold in the water, as stagnant water can lead to these issues.

Lucky Bamboo is considered a symbol of good fortune, and it can make a wonderful addition to your home or office. With the right care, your Lotus Lucky Bamboo will remain a beautiful and auspicious houseplant, spreading positive energy in your surroundings.
