What to do if lucky bamboo leaves get frostbite? Handle it this way for quick recovery

1. Pruning

The frostbite mentioned here is not freezing; it is being in a low-temperature environment for a long time, causing the leaf surface, stems, etc. to turn yellow and look weak.

Cut off the frostbitten parts, such as leaves, stems, etc. After being frosted, the branches are easy to recognize by their yellow leaves; just cut them off together with scissors. If the damage is too severe and the roots are completely rotten or dead, do not force it; you can give up and plant a new pot.

2. Change the water and wash the roots

This step is easy to understand. After frostbite, the roots will show slight rot. Take it out, gently rinse the roots with water, protect the integrity of the root system, leave the healthy parts alone, and cut off the rotten parts with scissors. Pour new clean water into the bottle and insert the trimmed lucky bamboo.

3. Add medicine

Put one aspirin tablet into the water to help the trimmed root cuts heal faster and avoid rotting again.

4. Care

Next, move the plant to a place with light, do not put it outdoors; lucky bamboo cannot withstand the invasion of cold wind. It is best to place it indoors by a window with relatively high temperature and light. Do not put it near an air conditioner, TV, etc. just for high temperature; let it slowly recover and see whether it can survive.

After it survives and grows new roots, you can add a small amount of compound fertilizer to provide nutrients for renewed growth.
