Civil life imprisoned in a brick-wood-stone cage. If it does not have a touch of green? From interiors to Vastu Totka, just one household name is ruling the roost these days — Lucky Bambu. This small bamboo plant kept in a glass container in the drawing room not only enhances the beauty of the room, but also has an invisible thread of good fortune. This plant lives forever with little care. But before summoning this plant found inside, an eternal conflict rears its head! Is it better to plant the plant in the ground or to submerge it in clear water? The real answer lies in the exploration of Vastu and Botany.

Lucky Bamboo forms the most in water. When the roots of this plant spread out in the wobbly water in a lovely glass container, it creates a magical atmosphere. The beauty of the house increases manifold in one stroke. Not only that, the growth of each plant’s roots can be easily seen from outside the glass container. As a result, it is easier to monitor the health of the plant. However, there are strict rules regarding water. It is important to change the water in this container every seven to ten days. The water should be completely clean and free of chlorine. Using purified water will keep the plant fresh and disease-free for a long time. Basically water is the best medium for beautiful decoration.

Lucky Bamboo in Soil or Water? Which Brings Better Growth, Luck & Vastu Benefits

On the other hand, soil moisture acts as a stimulant for plant growth. If rapid growth and plant longevity are your main goals, soil is the best option. Plant roots are much stronger and stronger when placed in the ground. The plant sprouts quickly due to the availability of nutrients. But it should be remembered that water should not accumulate on the ground of the tub. Excessive waterlogging can cause root rot and premature death of the plant. It is therefore essential to maintain a good drainage system.

Both mediums have their own merits. But the lifeblood of this tree is hidden in the light. Lucky bamboo cannot tolerate strong sun at all. Bright but indirect sunlight is best suited for the growth of this plant. Place it in a corner of the room that receives soft light. In short, water for an aesthetic interior and soil for fast and vigorous growth—choose the right medium for your needs. With this little care, the green fragrance of good fortune will return to your home.
