Care Guide

• Light: Lucky Bamboo thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight or in well-lit areas away from direct sun exposure, as too much sunlight can scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Keep the container filled with clean, distilled water, or filtered water to maintain the water quality. Ensure that the roots are submerged in water at all times, changing the water every 1-2 weeks to prevent stagnation and algae growth.
• Humidity: Lucky Bamboo plants thrive in moderate humidity environments. Increase humidity levels by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles nearby, especially during the dry winter months.
• Fertilization: Lucky Bamboo plants do not require regular fertilization when grown in water. However, you can add a small amount of diluted liquid fertilizer specifically formulated for hydroponic plants every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Pruning: Trim any yellow or damaged leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts, and avoid cutting into healthy tissue.
