How to root lucky bamboo

1. Suitable temperature

Give lucky bamboo a suitable growth temperature, and control the water temperature of hydroponics at above 5°C, and ideally above 15°C, so that it can enter a vigorous growth period and take root faster.

2. Avoid stem injury

The stems of lucky bamboo cannot be damaged. Some damage is hidden and cannot be observed when purchasing. For example, in the northern winter, if it stays outdoors for a long time, it may be frostbitten, but it is not easy to see if you don't look carefully. Sometimes, if the cuttings are dehydrated for too long, it will be detrimental to their later rooting.

3. Proper shading

The cut lucky bamboo needs a dark environment to take root, but many people like to put it in a transparent container. In fact, in this environment, the strong light will inhibit the growth of the root system. Therefore, when growing in water, especially when the root system is insufficient or there are almost no roots, it is best to place the roots in a dark environment in the early stage, which will be more conducive to root formation.

4. Adding Growth Hormones

You can add some growth hormones and rooting agents into the water to stimulate lucky bamboo to sprout new roots. This will make its new roots grow as quickly as possible and make the roots grow more fully.
