Is it okay to place longevity bamboo indoors?

Longevity bamboo is a large plant that has a good meaning. Therefore, many people place longevity bamboo indoors in order to achieve longevity. Not only can it bring good luck, but it also plays a great role in purifying the air. However, longevity bamboo is a plant that requires long periods of sunlight to grow. If placed indoors, the time it is exposed to sunlight will be very short. So, is it good to place longevity bamboo indoors?

1. Is it good to place longevity bamboo indoors?

It doesn’t matter whether you place it indoors or outdoors. Generally, try to put as few or no large plants in the bedroom because they will compete with people for oxygen and produce carbon dioxide at night. But this is not the reason for the longevity bamboo. This is because Kalanchoe bamboo likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. Except for a little shade at noon in midsummer, it should be placed in a sunny place for the rest of the time. It must be exposed to direct sunlight for at least 4 hours a day to grow healthily. Therefore, longevity bamboo should not be placed in the bedroom.

2. Precautions

1. The pot should be small and transparent

Longevity bamboo grows best in loose sandy soil and is best grown in earthenware pots with good permeability, but it is not beautiful when placed indoors. It can be covered with a plastic pot or a porcelain pot, or it can be directly planted in a small purple clay pot or plastic pot. When planting, place a layer of crushed charcoal blocks or crushed hard plastic foam blocks at the bottom of the pot to enhance its permeability. Although it is not very selective about soil, its roots are easily rotten in heavy clay, and it grows best in loose, fertile, slightly acidic sandy loam.

2. Moderate water control for lush leaves

Fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content make the flowers colorful; the longevity bamboo contains more water, so it is more resistant to drought but afraid of waterlogging. It grows well in high-rise buildings with dry air. In spring and autumn, water the potting soil thoroughly every three days or so when it dries up, and keep it slightly moist. It is better to water less often in summer, once every 5 to 7 days. For Kalanchoe placed outdoors, it should be protected from rain during the rainy season. Too much water will cause root rot, leaf fall and even death. Control the water level appropriately and keep the soil in the pot dry and wet.

3. Likes sunlight and tolerates partial shade

Longevity bamboo is afraid of the scorching heat in summer and the cold in winter and likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. Except for a little shade at noon in midsummer, it should be placed in a sunny place for the rest of the time. It must be exposed to direct sunlight for at least 4 hours a day to grow healthily. The most suitable temperature for the growth of longevity bamboo is 15℃ to 25℃. Above 30℃, the growth slows down and enters a semi-dormant state. Below 10℃, the growth stops, and 0℃

The following are easy to freeze to death.
