Can I cut the water bamboo if there are too many roots?

1. Can it be cut?

Water bamboo is relatively simple to care for and can easily survive. It has many roots during its growth period, and you can cut some of them off at this time. Don’t worry about affecting its growth, as it will automatically take root. But be careful to cut off the old roots when pruning to promote the growth of new roots. In addition, you need to trim the leaves and leave some buds, otherwise the leaves will consume a lot of nutrients and affect the growth of new roots.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Light: It can be given full sun or placed in semi-shade, so it can grow normally. But please note that in the high temperature environment in summer, the light is relatively strong, so you must block it in time, otherwise the leaves will easily turn yellow.

2. Watering: It likes a humid environment. Water it frequently during the growth period to keep the soil moist, but do not allow water to accumulate, otherwise the roots will easily rot. In summer, you should water more often, which can not only reduce the temperature but also increase the humidity.

3. Fertilization: Fertilize frequently during the growing season to supplement nutrients. Just choose compound fertilizer, don’t use too much to avoid burning the roots.
