There are 3 major taboos when growing lucky bamboo in water; everyone violates the first one, no wonder rooting is so slow

Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) is a plant kept in many households; whether in a studio, office area or home, you can see lucky bamboo, which shows this houseplant is very popular!

Indeed, lucky bamboo has many benefits; first and foremost is certainly its good symbolism! It symbolizes wealth and fortune, which is what everyone wants! Then there is the fact that growing lucky bamboo is very convenient, especially the water-grown lucky bamboo we often see: just take a taller container and pour in some water! Very simple, very clean, which is also why many people like lucky bamboo!

However, lucky bamboo is not as easy to grow as we imagine! Many people report that the lucky bamboo they bought has still not rooted after two months, which is really worrying; if it still does not root, the lucky bamboo will probably start to wither! In fact, there are 3 major taboos when growing lucky bamboo in water, and many people commit them, especially the first taboo, which almost every flower lover has committed! Super-slow rooting then seems perfectly normal! Below let us learn exactly which 3 major taboos these are, and share them with all flower lovers!

The first major taboo: avoid disturbing it

When growing plants, we must be patient; as long as the water for water-grown lucky bamboo has not become very cloudy, we should not touch it, nor take it out now and then to see whether it has rooted, nor fiddle with it when we have nothing to do, because this very easily damages the new roots, so when there is no need, do not disturb it and just let it grow well on its own.

The second major taboo: avoid adding random ingredients

Many people like to follow some flower-growing tips online, such as adding iron nails, ferrous sulfate, etc. to the water for hydroponic lucky bamboo; these are added for mature lucky bamboo, and adding these things during the rooting period is very unfavorable for rooting, so we must never add these things without authorization! We only need to add a tiny bit of nutrient solution, once every 10 days, and not too frequently!

The third major taboo: avoid mixed cultivation

Whether during the rooting period or the mature period, lucky bamboo is best not grown together with other flowers; many people think lucky bamboo looks plain, so they like to stick a few flower stems in with it. When these flowers rot, they heavily pollute the water quality, and there is also a great chance of passing rot pathogens to the lucky bamboo's root system, also causing rot! During the rooting period, needless to say, the whole plant may rot!

These are the 3 major taboos of growing lucky bamboo; I wonder whether you have committed any of them in your usual process of growing lucky bamboo? If you find it useful, then like, save and share it!
