Why is the lucky bamboo not taking root? (The fastest way to take root)

1. Reasons for not taking root

Generally speaking, the failure to take root is mostly due to incorrect operation and maintenance methods. If the bottom of the cuttings is not trimmed when they are rooting, they will not be able to absorb water and nutrients and will not be able to take root. In addition, if the water quality is poor and there is dirt in the water, it will contaminate the branches, and it will not be able to grow new roots in an unclean environment.

2. The fastest rooting method

1. Oblique pruning: Before letting it take root, you must first prune the branches of the lucky bamboo, that is, cut the bottom of the branch at a 45° angle. Pay attention to the smoothness of the cut. The smoother the cut, the more conducive it is to absorbing moisture.

2. Water quality: The water used must be clean enough. Do not use tap water directly. The ingredients it contains are not conducive to the rooting of branches. It should be dried in the sun for one or two days before use. And the water level should not be too high, it should not exceed the height of the leaves on the branches.

3. Change the water: Before it takes root, change the water frequently, usually every 3-5 days. Ensure the water is clean and it will take root quickly. However, after the roots have taken shape, you should change the water less often and add more water.
