How to grow Lucky Bamboo in water? Detailed step-by-step guide to the care method

Removing the leaves

It will not work to just put it in a vase without removing the leaves. But how many leaves should be peeled off to be appropriate? This mainly depends on the size of your vase; there must be no leaves below the mouth of the vase. Note that you cannot just cut them off with scissors; you need to pull all the leaves off the stem until individual bamboo nodes are exposed, and the slightly yellow stem below the nodes can be seen. This way the water will not so easily become smelly. After this step is done, cut the base into a slanted cut so it can easily absorb water.

The water trick

I myself grow it in purified water; this method keeps the bamboo in a green state even without adding nutrient solution. One thing to note is that right after planting it you should not immediately change its direction, nor move it back and forth; after one day it will be fine. Change the water about twice every new period, and do not change the water every day. Another thing to note is that once the roots have grown out, there is no need to change the water; instead you should add water in time.

Controlling the water depth

The water depth should also be controlled according to the size of the vase, roughly between half and three-fifths of the vase. If it is hard to determine, it is recommended to use a transparent vase.

Placement

In summer everyone likes to use the air conditioner to cool down, but our Lucky Bamboo cannot be placed where the air conditioner's breeze passes, otherwise its leaves will very likely change color.
