Feed it this and lucky bamboo roots fast; after two months Grandpa Zhang's stems were a full circle thicker

Lucky bamboo is a green plant loved by many gardening enthusiasts. It has high ornamental value in itself, and symbolizes blooming flowers and prosperity, bamboo bringing peace, great good fortune, and a lifetime of wealth.

Old flower farmer Grandpa Zhang is also a lucky bamboo lover. The lucky bamboo he grows is thick and tall. He says there is a secret to growing lucky bamboo: feed it "this" and it roots fast, and in less than two months the stems of the lucky bamboo grow a full circle thicker, growing like crazy!

What exactly is this "it" that Grandpa Zhang is talking about? In fact, she said it is aspirin. Aspirin is rich in salicylic acid, which is a type of auxin that can promote rooting and sprouting in lucky bamboo, making it grow quickly and thicken.

After bringing the lucky bamboo home, cut the head at a 45° angle with a sharp small knife. Try not to use scissors, as scissors easily crush the head and cause some damage, which is not good for rooting and sprouting. After cutting, first put it in a cool place to dry, and then it can go into the water for hydroponics.

Prepare one aspirin tablet, crush it into powder, add water to dissolve it, mix at a ratio of 1:500, and once the water is mixed you can grow the lucky bamboo in it. Before the lucky bamboo roots, change the water every 3-5 days, and mix a fresh aspirin solution each time. After about 10 days it will root, after about 20 days it will put out new leaves, and after two months the lucky bamboo can grow a full circle thicker.

Aspirin mainly boosts the growth activity of lucky bamboo, so nutrients must keep up. After rooting, nutrients should be supplemented promptly. You can buy some nutrient solution, or use decomposed soybean cake water, rice washing water, etc. After the lucky bamboo absorbs them, it can grow quickly and become more ornamental.
