How to change lucky bamboo hydroponics to soil cultivation

1. Water first

If you have just bought this plant, whether you plan to grow it in water or in the soil, you must first keep it in water for a period of time, remove the leaves below it, and make sure they are clean, otherwise they will rot if kept in water. All the leaves below the bottle mouth must be removed so that it can grow quickly.

Insert it into a bottle, fill it with water, place it at home, and do not move it within seven days. This will provide it with a stable growth environment. Pay attention to factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. Do not change the water before its roots come out. Just add water after the water evaporates. As long as other factors are suitable, it will grow roots in about thirty days. When it is three or four centimeters long, you can change it to soil.

2. Root pruning

Don't think that if you plant it directly in the soil, it will survive. In fact, it is not like that. You should take it out of the water after its roots grow out, remove the rotten parts, wash the algae and water chestnuts on it, put it in carbendazim to sterilize it, and then take it out to dry.

3. Soil Selection

It needs soil with good air permeability and drainage properties, such as sandy soil. You can mix ordinary soil with fine sand and rotten leaves. The soil made in this way is its favorite and can help it grow better.

4. Repotting

Move it directly into a pot. The pot should not be too big or too deep, otherwise the water will not be able to drain out. The soil only needs to be half the depth of the pot. After planting it, water it thoroughly, then fill it with soil, and then water it again. Then place the pot in a well-ventilated area for about seven to fifteen days, and then let it see the sun. Generally, if it is planted in the soil, its ability to resist severe cold will be stronger. Although the winter is very cold, the soil can keep it warm and prevent it from freezing to death. It will grow very green again in the second year.
