Will lucky bamboo die if its roots are cut? How to keep it after cutting its roots?

1. Will lucky bamboo die if its roots are cut?

Lucky bamboo generally will not die if its roots are cut. It is a plant with very strong growth ability. If the stem is in good condition, cutting off some roots will not threaten its life, but will only slow down its growth. Even if all its roots are cut off, it will not die. But if the stem has black rot or other growth problems and is not in good condition, root pruning may cause it to die.

2. How to grow lucky bamboo after cutting off the roots

1. If you only cut off a small amount of roots, you should first treat the wound with disinfectant powder or disinfectant, and then place it in a well-ventilated place to let the wound dry completely. After that, replant it in sufficiently breathable soil or sufficiently clean water, place it in a warm place and slowly nurture it until it grows new roots.

2. If all the roots of the plant are cut off, the bottom of the stem needs to be cut at a 45° angle and all the leaves at the bottom of the plant need to be cut off, leaving only 2-3 leaves on the top. Then soak it in rooting water to stimulate rooting. After that, insert it into loose and breathable soil or clean water, keep it warm, ventilated, and properly shaded, and after a period of time it will take root and survive again.
