"This water" has a "magical effect" on lucky bamboo, soak for 1 day, and it will survive no matter how you grow it, with lots of roots and green leaves

As people's living standards improve, more and more people like to keep a pot of flowers at home, warm and beautiful, and according to surveys, keeping flowers has now become a new lifestyle trend, and most flowers and plants can also purify the air. Keeping a few pots of flowers at home can give your family a healthy and comfortable living environment, and the process of caring for flowers and plants is also very interesting, cultivating body and mind. Especially lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana), a foliage plant suitable for both water and soil culture, is even more loved by many flower enthusiasts. The leaves and stems of lucky bamboo are like bamboo, carrying the meaning of peace and prosperity, happiness and fulfillment, and rolling wealth.

However, although many people like lucky bamboo, lucky bamboo can be difficult to root during care, and even after rooting, the newly grown lucky bamboo will have yellowing leaves and increasingly thin stems. Based on this, today Xiaohua shares this, let's take a look at today's sharing topic together!

"This water" has a "magical effect" on lucky bamboo, soak for 1 day, and it will survive no matter how you grow it, with lots of roots and green leaves

Willow sap is very magical, give lucky bamboo a little, and roots and new leaves will grow vigorously

Generally, the first task for the lucky bamboo we newly buy back is to make it root as quickly as possible. Only after rooting can it truly survive. So how can lucky bamboo root as quickly as possible?

At this time we can ask willow branches for help. So why can willow branches help lucky bamboo root?

To explain this question, let's first look at the principle of using willow:

Speaking of willow, I wonder what everyone first thinks of. Branches drifting in the wind, beautiful and romantic? But Xiaohua feels that friends who grew up in the countryside may all know that willow is especially easy to survive. Cut a branch of it, stick it in casually and it will live, and it will quickly grow new leaves, turning from a branch into a small willow tree, extremely fast. Moreover, willow, this plant, can grow well whether in the south or the north. It can adapt to various environments. So why does willow have such strong growth ability?

Later, through scientific research, this is mainly because the body of willow contains a large amount of "salicylic acid". This substance can promote plant rooting and sprouting, and the sap of willow also contains a small amount of "aspirin", and aspirin has a preservative effect, which can prevent plant root rot. Later, some flower-growing experts used willow sap to grow flowers, and all received particularly good results.

So how exactly should willow sap be extracted?

This is actually very simple. You only need to cut a few current-year willow branches, remove the leaves on them, cut the bark a little, and then cut the branches into sections of about 5 cm each. Then you can soak the branches in clean water, seal the opening, and after soaking for 3-4 days, you can take the water to grow flowers.

The method of use is as follows:

The newly bought lucky bamboo needs to have a section cut from the lower part of its stem at a 45-degree angle. After drying, soak it in the willow branch soaking liquid for about 2 days, take it out and let it dry, then it can be cared for in clean water. Lucky bamboo soaked in willow branch water all roots extremely quickly, and the roots are very strong, and the leaves are oily green and grow fast, and the stems will also become thicker.

If it is soil-grown lucky bamboo, you can also water it with willow branch water. Generally, using it 2-3 times a month is enough. After use, soil-grown lucky bamboo not only grows fast, but also has thick stems and green leaves. If it can be cared for 2-3 years, it can also bloom large white flowers. Lucky bamboo blooming can symbolize continuous good luck!

If you want good lucky bamboo, other care cannot be ignored either

After lucky bamboo roots, if you want it to grow fast, then other care cannot be ignored either. Let's take a look together!

Light

Lucky bamboo does not need strong light. Generally, whether you grow it in water or in soil, you need to place it in a place with scattered light and good ventilation, and it cannot be placed next to air conditioners, refrigerators, televisions, and large home appliances, because this will cause yellow leaves on lucky bamboo.

Temperature

Lucky bamboo generally grows well at a temperature of 16-26 degrees, so if it is winter or summer with high temperatures, be sure to pay attention to increasing or decreasing its temperature. In winter or summer, do not place it in a colder or hotter place by the window.

Watering

For water-grown lucky bamboo, generally the water level reaching one third of the hydroponic bottle is enough. If it is soil-grown, then slightly dry potting soil is better, so there is no need to water it too much, but you need to spray water on its leaves often.

Fertilizing

Whether water-grown or soil-grown lucky bamboo, it needs frequent fertilizing. Clean water cannot grow lucky bamboo well. For soil-grown, it is recommended to water 2 times a month with fermented rice washing water or soybean water. For water-grown, it is recommended to use a special nutrient solution for lucky bamboo.
