Add this to the water of your lucky bamboo and in 10 days it will burst out with spiderweb-like roots, growing explosively

As people's living standards rise, more and more people are taking up flower growing. Placing a few pots of flowers at home is both beautiful and cozy, and can also purify the air. Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) in particular is especially popular. Whether grown in water or in soil, it is very elegant and attractive. Water-grown lucky bamboo especially looks clean and elegant, and it carries good symbolism, plus its air-purifying ability is super strong. It is suitable whether kept in the bedroom, the living room or the study. Although many people like lucky bamboo very much, the most common problems during water cultivation are yellowing leaves and failure to root. So what can we do to grow lucky bamboo well?

This is the topic we are sharing today:

Add "one thing" to the water, and lucky bamboo will burst out with "spiderweb" roots in 10 days, showing "explosive" growth

Actually, getting lucky bamboo to root is not hard. What is hard is making it grow faster. Today we will mainly talk about lucky bamboo care from these two aspects.

Add this one thing to the container, and the roots will shoot out fast, the stems will be as thick as a tree, and the growth will be explosive

The newly bought lucky bamboo should first be cut diagonally at a 45-degree angle with a knife. After drying, soak it in potassium permanganate solution to disinfect it, then insert it into the water cultivation bottle. At this time the water we use needs to be purified water. If using tap water, it needs to be left to stand for about 2 days so the chlorine inside is fully released, so it will not affect the growth of the lucky bamboo.

Then we can add a few willow branches to the water cultivation bottle. Generally, replace the willow branches inside once every 7 days. The lucky bamboo will not only root quickly, but also grow especially fast, with very strong roots that fill the bottle like a spiderweb. After rooting, the stems also grow very fast, just like little trees.

So what is the principle behind this?

I believe everyone knows that willow is a kind of potted plant that is especially easy to keep alive. It is easy to survive, roots quickly, and sprouts quickly. Cut a section of branch at random, insert it into soil, and it will quickly root, sprout and grow into a small tree.

Older people often use the saying "Plant a flower with care and it will not bloom; plant a willow without care and it will grow into shade" to describe how easy it is to keep alive. Later, scientific research proved that willow contains a substance called salicylic acid. This substance can promote plants to root and sprout very quickly. It can be said to be a natural growth hormone. So after this salicylic acid is broken down, no matter what flower you grow, it can show explosive growth.

Lucky bamboo is no exception. Grown with water soaked with willow branches, it will also grow especially fast.

Next let's talk about how to care for lucky bamboo after it has rooted:

Lucky bamboo's requirements for light are not very strict, but it does not like direct sunlight, so for home care it is best to place it in a spot with bright indirect light and good ventilation. If during care after rooting you find that the lucky bamboo has yellowing leaves, we should promptly prune off its yellow leaves and add a little ferrous sulfate solution to the water at a ratio of 1:1000. After use, it can prevent the lucky bamboo from developing yellow leaves.

If you want lucky bamboo to grow fast, we need to fertilize it. Generally, the special nutrient solution for water-grown lucky bamboo sold in flower shops, used according to the instructions, can achieve good results.
