Bamboo has been regarded as a plant representing the noble character in ancient China. It symbolizes firmness, purity and integrity, and many literati and poets liked to write about it in their poems. Meanwhile, bamboo also carries the well-wishing words of "flowers blooming symbolize prosperity, and bamboo predicts peace", and it has the implication of good luck when placed at home. Let's take a look at several recommended types of bamboo below.
Lily Bamboo
Also known as Short-leaved Dracaena, Lily Bamboo has unique leaf patterns with golden yellow and green stripes, giving an elegant and generous impression. It is also a feng shui plant, carrying the implications of warding off evil spirits, turning disasters into good fortune, and gathering positive energy.
In terms of daily care, Lily Bamboo likes a warm and humid environment with a growth temperature ranging from 20 to 28 degrees Celsius. It can tolerate drought and excessive watering. It prefers loose, fertile and well-drained soil. When caring for it in winter, it should be placed in a bright indoor place as much as possible. If it is lacking in light for a long time, the golden yellow stripes in the middle will fade or disappear. Also, it should not be placed in a dry place, otherwise it will cause situations such as the withering of leaf tips.
Water Bamboo
Water Bamboo is an ornamental bamboo that can be cultivated both in soil and hydroponically. It is a potted plant liked by many art and literature enthusiasts. Its plant shape is very graceful, with lush and green leaves, having extremely high ornamental value. In feng shui, there is a saying that "water breeds wealth".
In terms of daily care, Water Bamboo likes a warm and ventilated environment but must avoid strong sunlight. In terms of soil, it prefers fertile and humus-rich clayey soil. It is not very resistant to cold. When caring for it in winter, it should be noted that the overall environment should not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius, and it is best to change from hydroponic cultivation to potting. When encountering a relatively dry air environment, some clear water can be sprayed on its leaves to maintain a certain air humidity.
Buddha's Belly Bamboo
Buddha's Belly Bamboo is also called Buddha Bamboo or Luohan Bamboo by many florists. It implies peace, good luck and continuous progress, and is a plant that many people like to buy during festivals. In appearance, its plant shape is peculiar, with short and deformed stems that look like the belly of a Buddha, full of the meaning of prosperity.
In terms of daily care, Buddha's Belly Bamboo likes a warm and humid environment. For the soil, a relatively loose, fertile and acidic soil can be chosen. It can tolerate shade and likes sunlight. It can withstand light frosts around 0 degrees Celsius, but is afraid of the dry climate in the north. When it is dry, artificial spraying of water mist should be done to supplement water. When caring for it in winter, as long as the room temperature is kept above 10 degrees Celsius and watering is done during the day usually, it can grow very well with such care.
