What to do about yellow leaves on lucky bamboo? Give it a little "tonic soup" and its stems will grow thick and sturdy with glossy leaves

Some plant growers like to keep plants that bloom often, because a plant with only green leaves feels like you are just growing a pot of grass, and only a plant that blooms looks like a real potted flower. But have you ever thought about what happens once the blooming season passes? That potted flower will still turn back into a plant with only green leaves; and besides, when it is all flowers, you should also change styles a bit to give your tired eyes a little rest.

There is also the fact that plants that bloom are a bit harder to grow than plants with only green leaves. So to make everyday care simpler and to ease visual fatigue, it is a good idea to occasionally keep some green leafy plants.

The editor thinks lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) is a great choice, because its whole body is crisp green and its stems are upright and tall, so at a glance it looks like a plant with integrity, and its name is fairly auspicious. Although it does not bloom much, that is exactly what makes it different. Lucky bamboo is also quite useful: it can decorate a dull home environment, purify the air, and even help people sleep, so it is a very popular green plant.

When growing lucky bamboo, ordinary daily care is enough to keep it growing normally, but if you want its branches and leaves to be stronger, you must give it some extra nutrients. Below, the editor will introduce two "tonic soups" that can make it grow better, namely solutions made by dissolving aspirin and vitamin B12 in water.

People with years of plant-growing experience know that these two ordinary tablets are great tonics for lucky bamboo, because their ingredients include a substance called salicylic acid, which can help plants root and sprout quickly, and even more amazingly, it can also prevent root rot.

For newly bought lucky bamboo, aspirin can be used for rooting, and the method is very simple. First, cut the lower end of the newly bought lucky bamboo at an angle; then mix the prepared tablet with 500 ml of water until it is completely dissolved. Next, insert the lower end of the lucky bamboo into this solution. During this period, change the solution every two days, and after about a week, you will find that the end of the lucky bamboo has grown tender white roots, and some with strong growth may also have grown new leaves.

After rooting, lucky bamboo still needs enough nutrients to maintain its growth and development, and this is when vitamin B12 comes into play. Crush aspirin and vitamin B12 and dilute them with clean water; add more water here and try to dilute the concentration of the solution as much as possible, otherwise it may backfire and give the lucky bamboo too many nutrients. The solution mixed from these two tablets can provide the nutrients needed by growing lucky bamboo, making the leaves grow more lush and the stems grow stronger.

Of course, the most important thing is still careful daily care, but properly supplementing some nutrients is also necessary!
