1. Can the top of lucky bamboo be trimmed?

The top of lucky bamboo can be trimmed. Lucky bamboo grows very fast. After pruning the top branches and leaves, it will be able to grow new branches and leaves quickly. Don't throw away the cut part. Cut its bottom diagonally, put it in rooting water, and then insert it into soft and breathable soil. If you take good care of it, you can cultivate a new plant.

2. How to pinch the tip of lucky bamboo

1. If you want to pinch the tip of the plant because it grows too tall, you can pinch it a little more. Determine the height you want to keep, and then use a knife to cut off the top part directly. After cutting, use disinfectant powder to disinfect the wound and place the plant in a well-ventilated place to dry. If the cut part is long enough, you can treat it with rooting powder, insert it into new soil, and slowly cultivate a new plant.

2. If you want to prune the branches and leaves on the upper part of the plant because they are yellowing, drying up, or blackening, then you only need to prune the parts with growth problems. After cutting, you must also disinfect the wound with disinfectant powder, then place it in a ventilated place to slowly cure it and wait for the wound to dry. Note that when cutting leaves, start from the base of the petiole and do not leave part of the petiole on the plant, otherwise they may rot.
