Lucky Bamboo Plant Care: Along with decoration, there is a search for positive energy in our Indian homes, in such a situation, Lucky Bamboo Plant comes out as a great option. It is considered auspicious in both Vastu and Feng Shui and is said to bring happiness, prosperity and good luck to the home. But if it is not taken proper care of, it starts drying or turning yellow, which can reduce both its attractiveness and effectiveness. In this article we will know how to take care of the lucky bamboo plant kept in your home so that it always remains green and lucky.
Lucky Bamboo does not require direct sunlight. It is better to keep it in indirect light. Place it near a window where there is natural light but away from direct sunlight. Due to strong sunlight its leaves can burn and turn yellow. If there is very little light in the house, this plant can survive even in fluorescent light, which makes it suitable for office or home table also.
Lucky Bamboo is often kept in water and this is the most important part of its health. Use clean and chlorine-free water. If the tap water is chlorinated then leave it open for a night so that the chlorine evaporates. Change the water every 7-10 days so that bacteria do not grow. The roots should be completely submerged in water but the water level on the stalk should not be high. If you plant it in soil, allow the soil to dry out between waterings but do not let it dry out completely.
Lucky bamboo does not need a lot of fertilizer. It is sufficient to add a few drops of liquid houseplant fertilizer to the water once every 2 to 3 months. Giving too much fertilizer can burn its roots, so use limited quantity only.
If the leaves of the plant start drying or turning yellow, cut them immediately. Also clean old or rotten roots so that new shoots remain healthy. If kept in a glass vessel, it is also important to clean the vessel from time to time.
According to Feng Shui, it is auspicious to keep Lucky Bamboo in the east or south-east direction. This direction is considered associated with wealth and prosperity. The number of stalks of the plant is also important. Like 2 stalks are for love and luck. 3 stalks are for happiness, prosperity and long life. 5 stalks are for health. 8 stalks are for prosperity and 21 stalks are for complete good fortune.
Lucky bamboo not only enhances the beauty of your home but if taken proper care of it, it remains green and auspicious for years. A little care like proper watering, mild light and cleaning from time to time can make it a perfect good luck plant.
