Aunt Wu Grows "Lucky Bamboo" in Water Using Just 2 Kinds of "Expired Pills", It Grew to 2 Meters Tall in Three Years

Lucky bamboo is a very popular household plant. In daily life, many friends place lucky bamboo in their living rooms and entryways. Lucky bamboo is simple and convenient to grow; you just need to put a few lucky bamboo cuttings in a water bottle and they will survive. Lucky bamboo also symbolizes good fortune and prosperity, so it is great to keep at home.

But many flower growers report that when caring for lucky bamboo, they often encounter yellowing leaves or slow plant growth. In fact, although lucky bamboo is a fairly easy-care plant, during care, if you want the plant to grow quickly and avoid yellowing leaves, you still need to master some growing tips and methods. Just like today, I want to share that my neighbor Aunt Wu loves growing flowers. When growing lucky bamboo at home, she adds 2 kinds of expired pills to the water bottle, and in 3 years she grew the lucky bamboo to 2 meters tall. The growth rate is very fast, and the leaves are emerald green with no yellowing. Today I will share her growing tips and methods.

Add 1 expired aspirin tablet to the lucky bamboo water bottle

Aspirin is a common household medicine. When aspirin tablets at home expire, do not throw them away; you can use them to grow flowers, because the main ingredient in aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, which helps plants quickly take root and grow leaves. So in daily care of lucky bamboo, when changing the clean water for the plant each week, you can add half an aspirin tablet to the water to provide nutrients for plant growth. Aunt Wu adds 2 aspirin tablets to the lucky bamboo water bottle every month. The plant grows very fast, reaching two meters tall in three years.

Add 1 expired ferrous sulfate tablet to the lucky bamboo water bottle

Ferrous sulfate is a common household blood-tonic medicine. When ferrous sulfate tablets expire, do not throw them away; use them to grow flowers, as they can supplement iron for plant growth. Many flowers develop yellow leaves due to iron deficiency, and the same is true for lucky bamboo. In daily care, you can add one ferrous sulfate tablet to the lucky bamboo water bottle every month to supplement iron for plant growth and prevent large areas of yellowing leaves on the lucky bamboo.

Prevent lucky bamboo from developing yellow leaves

Besides supplementing nutrients and iron for lucky bamboo, in daily care you should keep the plant in a ventilated, breathable place. Generally, placing lucky bamboo in a ventilated, breathable spot in the living room or dining room will prevent yellow leaves.

When lucky bamboo at home develops yellow leaves, first check whether the plant's roots have rotted. If rot has occurred, prune off all the rotten roots and rotten stems and restart care, then prune off all the yellow leaves, replace the water solution in the bottle, and place the lucky bamboo in a ventilated, breathable balcony with good light for care to speed up the growth of the lucky bamboo.
