Pruning method for damaged lucky bamboo roots

The main causes of lucky bamboo root rot are stones placed at the roots or injury and infection during transport, and the bacteria are not only in the roots; they are also present in the nearby roots, so the infected areas also need to be cut off. When pruning at this time, pay attention to the following points:

1. The part of the bamboo stalk infected by bacteria is relatively soft. Pinch the bamboo stalk by hand and cut off the parts that feel soft. The cut should be smooth, and continue until the bamboo body feels hard when pinched by hand and the cut surface is a normal color, then there is no need to cut further.

2. Disinfect with potassium permanganate solution.

3. After the cut dries, insert it into clean water or moist soil for cultivation. Do not move the lucky bamboo casually within half a month; after that, new roots will grow.

That is all for the introduction to lucky bamboo pruning methods. Overall, lucky bamboo pruning is not difficult; the main issues are the pruning position and disinfection.
