At this time of year, many gardening enthusiasts buy a bunch of lucky bamboo to keep at home in water. It is fairly easy to care for, but many people find that lucky bamboo bought and placed straight into water is very hard to root, or roots very slowly, and within a few days the leaves start turning yellow. What to do? Here are a few little tips: just add something to the water of hydroponic lucky bamboo, and it can speed up rooting.

Vitamin B12 tablets

Vitamin B12 tablets are quite common. If you really do not have any at home, go buy a bottle at the pharmacy; they are useful for hydroponic plants. Crush the vitamin B12 into powder and add it directly to the water of hydroponic lucky bamboo. It can not only greatly increase the rooting speed of lucky bamboo, but also prevent lucky bamboo leaves from turning yellow.

Besides this method, you can also spread a layer of a mixture of soil and coarse sand (mixed at a 1:1 ratio) at the bottom of the container of hydroponic lucky bamboo, which makes it easier for the lucky bamboo to root. After it has rooted, you can also continue with normal clean-water care.

Most gardening enthusiasts probably know that putting a rusty iron nail in the lucky bamboo container can prevent yellow leaves. This is effective, but you should not put the rusty iron nail in at the very beginning of hydroponic growing; the lucky bamboo simply cannot absorb it. You need to wait until the lucky bamboo has rooted, and then put in the rusty iron nail, so that it can play a role in preventing lucky bamboo leaves from turning yellow!

That is all for the care tips for hydroponic lucky bamboo. Gardening friends, do you have any better care tips? You are welcome to leave comments and share and discuss together, so that more people can grow flowers well!
