When Lucky Bamboo's roots turn black and its leaf tips dry and yellow in summer, give it these two special drinks

Lucky Bamboo is a green plant that many flower lovers often keep. Its stems and leaves are slender, soft and elegant, full of bamboo charm, carrying the meaning of "flowers bloom in wealth, bamboo brings peace."

With the arrival of summer, some flower lovers have noticed that Lucky Bamboo's roots turn black, and are often accompanied by dry tips and yellow leaves, with the color also becoming dull. What is going on?

In fact, this situation is mainly caused by problems with the water quality. Give it a little of these 2 "special drinks", once every 7 days, and the branches and leaves will be so green they glisten with oil, and the roots will no longer turn black.

[1]Hydrogen peroxide

In summer, the respiration of Lucky Bamboo's roots speeds up, but the oxygen in the water can no longer keep up the supply, causing many roots to be unable to breathe and die, which finally affects the branches and leaves, causing dry tips and yellow leaves.

So you need to give it some hydrogen peroxide. Pour some hydrogen peroxide into the hydroponic bottle, then gently shake to mix, once every 7 days, to increase the oxygen content of the hydroponic water for the roots to breathe.

[2]Willow juice

In the high temperatures of summer, Lucky Bamboo grows slowly or stops growing, root activity decreases, and its absorption capacity declines, making it unable to provide fertilizer and water to the plant. Besides frequently spraying water on the branches and leaves to increase humidity, the best way to raise root activity is to add willow juice solution to the hydroponic bottle. Willow juice contains salicylic acid and other substances, which can stimulate root activity, promote rooting and sprouting, and keep the branches and leaves lush and green.

Specific method: cut off robust willow branches of the current year, cut them into small segments, then crush them and put them in a container, then add clean water (preferably condensed water), soak for one day, then take the supernatant liquid and add it to the Lucky Bamboo's hydroponic bottle. You can also add it once every 7 days.

One more point: in summer, properly improving the water quality is even more helpful for Lucky Bamboo's growth. You can put 2-3 small pieces of bamboo charcoal into the hydroponic container, which can adsorb impurities in the water, play a purifying role, and protect the water quality of the culture water.

That is all for the care of Lucky Bamboo. If flower lovers have other additions, you can share them with everyone in the comment section below. To learn more about flower-growing knowledge, you can follow Huajianke!
