Add this to the lucky bamboo vase and big white roots will grow in two weeks, with glossy green leaves
In this season, many flower lovers buy a bunch of lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) to grow at home in water. It is fairly easy to care for, but many people find that the lucky bamboo they bring home is very hard to root, or roots very slowly, when simply stuck into water, and within a few days the leaves start turning yellow. What to do? Let me share a few little tips: just add something to the water of the hydroponic lucky bamboo and it can speed up rooting.
Vitamin B12 tablets
Vitamin B12 tablets are quite common. If you really do not have any at home, go to a pharmacy and buy a bottle; they are useful for growing hydroponic plants. Crush the vitamin B12 into powder and add it directly to the hydroponic lucky bamboo. It not only greatly increases the rooting speed of the lucky bamboo, but also prevents its leaves from turning yellow.
Besides this method, you can also spread a layer of a mixture of soil and coarse sand (mixed at a 1:1 ratio) at the bottom of the hydroponic lucky bamboo vase, which makes it easier for the lucky bamboo to root. After it has rooted, you can also continue growing it normally in clean water.
Most flower lovers probably know that putting a rusty iron nail in the lucky bamboo vase can prevent yellow leaves. This does work, but you should not put the rusty iron nail in right at the start of hydroponics, because the lucky bamboo simply cannot absorb it. You need to wait until the lucky bamboo has rooted, and then put in the rusty iron nail, so that it can play its role in preventing the lucky bamboo's leaves from turning yellow!
That is all for the care tips on hydroponic lucky bamboo. Flower lovers, do you have any better care tips? You are welcome to leave comments and share and discuss together, so that more people can grow flowers well!
