How to deal with rotten roots in lucky bamboo? The latest solution is here
Lucky bamboo is a perennial evergreen plant of the Asparagaceae family (Agavaceae), with high ornamental value. In addition, lucky bamboo's stems and leaves are slender, soft and elegant, so it is very popular in our country. Moreover, lucky bamboo can also purify the air and remove harmful gases indoors. However, when we care for lucky bamboo, what should we do if its roots rot? Below, the editor will briefly introduce this to everyone. Let's take a look together!
1. Hydroponics
When dealing with rotten roots in lucky bamboo, we first need to choose the treatment method according to how the lucky bamboo is grown. If it is hydroponic, then first take the plant out, then disinfect the scissors, and cut off the rotten roots. For some parts that cannot be seen with the naked eye, gently press the main stem with your hand, and cut off any parts that have become soft. The roots should be cut at an angle, and finally the plant should be rinsed clean with clean water, and the bottle should also be cleaned and disinfected.
After cleaning the bottle, pour in an appropriate amount of fresh water, and you can add an appropriate amount of salt to the fresh water. After disinfecting the plant's roots, insert them into the water, place it in a cool, ventilated place, and maintain a suitable growing environment. Do not let the plant be exposed to direct strong light, and control the temperature well, otherwise it will worsen the root rot of the lucky bamboo. After about 5 days, the lucky bamboo will gradually take root.
After the lucky bamboo has re-rooted, add an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer. Do not use too much compound fertilizer; about two drops is enough. If too much fertilizer is applied, then the fertilizer's heat will be too great, and it will still cause root rot. When growing lucky bamboo hydroponically, do not use too much water; keeping it at about 1/3 of the container is enough. If there is too much water, it is also easy to cause root rot. Therefore, pay attention to doing a good job with water and fertilizer, and control the amount of fertilization and watering. If the water produces an odor, then change the water in time, and then check whether the roots have rotted.
2. Soil culture
If it is soil-cultured lucky bamboo, then first we still need to take the plant out of the soil. Then rinse the roots clean with clean water, place them in carbendazim to soak, then take them out, rinse them clean, and put them in a cool place to dry. Then prepare new potting soil with good permeability. When replanting, bury the soil with one hand while holding the lucky bamboo with the other. After planting, water it. There should not be too much soil, to avoid affecting the roots' water absorption and causing the roots to rot again. Lucky bamboo has relatively poor drought tolerance, so pay attention to watering well and keep the soil in a moist state.
