The techniques for growing lucky bamboo in water mainly include four aspects. First, the cuttings should be cut at an angle, which can increase the water absorption area and facilitate plant growth. Second, there should be no leaves at the base of the branches, otherwise they will easily rot after being soaked in water, polluting the water quality and affecting growth. The third is to add nutrient solution once a week during the growing season and less often in winter. The fourth is to change the water regularly, frequently in the early stages, and less frequently after rooting occurs to avoid root damage.

1. Water cultivation skills

1. Cutting cuttings at an angle: When cultivating in water, the rooting area should be cut at an angle, about 45 degrees. This will increase its cut surface and place it After entering the water, it will absorb water better, take root more easily, and the growth in the later period will naturally be more vigorous.

2. No leaves at the base: when grown in water There should be no leaves at the base of the water, and the branches should be cleaned. Otherwise, if the leaves are soaked in water for a long time or the branches are not clean, the water quality will be polluted, and the plants will be easily infected with diseases, which will affect rooting and growth.

3. Add nutrient solution: The nutrients in the water are not enough. If you want to grow vigorously, you need to add nutrient solution. During the peak growing season, add it every other week, in small amounts multiple times. If the growth slows down in winter, the frequency should be reduced. Under normal circumstances, just add 10 drops to 500 ml of water. Excessive dosage will burn the plants and cause damage.

4. Change water regularly: often before rooting Change the water to ensure water quality. However, after rooting, the number of water changes should be reduced. There is no need to change the water frequently, otherwise it will easily damage the roots, and the roots will have to adapt to the new environment, which will hinder growth. In addition, the amount of water should not be too much, only 1/3 of the container is enough.

2. How long does it take for roots to take root

Under normal circumstances, lucky bamboo grown in water can take root in about half a month. The root system is white and has well-developed roots, which will slowly become longer and thicker soon. As long as you pay attention to maintenance methods and provide it with an environment conducive to growth, it will grow vigorously. Not only does it have high ornamental value, it also has a beautiful meaning and is very suitable for maintenance at home.
