Indoor bamboo of happiness

The decorative indoor bamboo of happiness is actually called Sander's dracaena. It has an exotic appearance and abundant greenery, reminiscent of real bamboos. Dracaena Sander is an unpretentious plant that a novice gardener can grow. The main condition for successful cultivation is abundant watering and protection from direct sunlight. Place it in partial shade. Indoor bamboo grows well in soil, water or a special gel.

Almost any soil with good drainage is suitable as a substrate. Dracaena in the soil needs abundant watering in summer and moderate watering in winter, but the clod of earth cannot be allowed to dry out at any time of the year. Use melt or rainwater for irrigation, tap water contains too many harmful additives. Because of them, the leaves and stems of the plant may turn yellow. Dracaena growing in water and hydrogel also requires soft water at room temperature. Change it at least once a week, otherwise the bamboo roots will rot. Don't forget to add mineral fertilizers.

The plant is not afraid of dry air and does not require spraying. But its leaves need to be wiped regularly. The plant is transplanted annually in spring. When yellow spots appear on the stem, its area with the spot is cut off, dried and disinfected with charcoal. Indoor bamboo can be propagated by apical cuttings by placing them in water or moist soil. According to Feng Shui, three bamboo stalks bring happiness to the house, five - wealth, seven - health. Place the composition in the southeast and plant a three-legged toad near it for good luck.
