How to trim the leaves of lucky bamboo

Lucky Bamboo Leaf Pruning

As lucky bamboo grows, yellow leaves sometimes appear. Although it does not need to be pruned, in order to maintain its beautiful appearance, the yellow and dead leaves can be picked off. If the branches become withered and yellow, the entire plant can be pruned.

Lucky bamboo is usually only pruned when the plant is too long during its growth process, because too long will affect its normal growth and even affect its appearance. Therefore, pruning is very necessary. In fact, the pruning method is also very simple. Just prepare a pair of scissors and then cut from the middle of the lucky bamboo.

However, you can also directly cut off the top of the lucky bamboo and then dry the cut. The cut needs to be disinfected and soaked in disinfectant solution for 30 minutes to prevent the cut from getting infected. Failure to do so will cause the lucky bamboo plant to wither and die directly, so pay more attention.

Tips for pruning lucky bamboo leaves

Some branches with good growth need to be retained, and some branches that grow poorly need to be cut off. Some dense branches should be properly combed out, leaving the strong ones and cutting off the thin ones.

When lucky bamboo grows too tall, you can cut it diagonally while retaining a few roots. This can increase the area for absorbing water and nutrients, and help the plant grow vigorously.

Precautions for pruning lucky bamboo leaves

After pruning, it needs to be placed in a cool place with good ventilation to allow its side branches to grow faster, and the pruning tools should be disinfected.
