How do you grow lucky bamboo so it doesn't turn yellow? Try this trick - no yellow leaves and it sprouts like crazy

Everyone says lucky bamboo is a greenery that can live just by being put in water. It sounds easy to grow, and the name is auspicious, so I bought a few stalks from the flower shop, found a vase, filled it with some water, and put the lucky bamboo in, looking forward to it growing roots and sprouting soon. After a few days I looked and was shocked - the originally green leaves had all turned yellow. I quickly asked a friend who is an experienced plant-growing expert.

When my friend saw my lucky bamboo, he immediately stripped off all the leaves and cut off a large part of the roots. I was puzzled, and he slowly explained that the lucky bamboo's leaves were too dense and had absorbed all the nutrients from the roots, which caused the leaves to turn yellow.

It turns out that to make lucky bamboo sprout, you also need to make a diagonal cut at the base, which increases the contact area between the roots and the water. I had put the lucky bamboo directly into water without treating the base, so it couldn't absorb nutrients and the leaves turned yellow. Over time, they would turn black.

Also, you can't just use tap water directly. Tap water contains chlorine, which is somewhat harmful to lucky bamboo, so you should first leave it in the sun for one or two hours to remove the chlorine. The vase holding the lucky bamboo should also be sterilized first to avoid bacterial infection.

Also, sunlight is very important for plants. Indoors, if the sun can't reach them, they can't carry out photosynthesis and can't grow. For those kept indoors, it's recommended to take them out into the sun every so often.

The next thing is nutrient supplementation. A plant just bought and moved to a new environment needs to adjust itself to adapt, and that process requires nutrients. How do you add nutrients to a water-grown plant? There are now specialized liquid flower fertilizers - just drip a few drops, enough for its needs, and this way it can quickly sprout new shoots without yellowing leaves.

Next, to solve the yellow leaves of hydroponic lucky bamboo, we can also use a knife to cut it. This method is also very practical. How do you do it? Look at the picture below and you'll understand.

Steps: Use a knife to cut at a 45-degree angle so the end soaking in water exposes the white "flesh", then use nutrient solution. Change the water once every 5 days, and after it grows roots again, the yellow leaf problem will also be well solved. Doing this can remove aged roots and rotten roots.

Besides removing roots, you can also dilute carbendazim 1000 times and let the lucky bamboo soak in it. This can also prevent root rot, but it's recommended to soak for just 1 day per month.

Alright, that's all we'll say about hydroponic lucky bamboo. Master these methods and you can easily make lucky bamboo grow crazy roots and be lush and green.
