How many roots of lucky bamboo are best to grow in soil

1. Two

(1) Reason: It is mainly explained based on the five elements. Two represents "fire", and according to the theory of the Five Elements, "fire" can produce "earth". This will help ensure that the plants do not die easily. The two roots also represent yin and yang. In addition, two roots are easier to grow, do not require too much nutrition, and may grow more vigorously.

(2) Generally speaking, two are more suitable. However, if you think two are a bit monotonous, you can choose more.

2. Five roots

(1) Reason: This is also explained based on the theory of the Five Elements. Five represents "earth" and has the power to expand the earth. Therefore, growing rootless plants is also beneficial in preventing the plants from getting sick or dying easily.

(2) However, some people may feel that five sticks are too many and the nutritional supply will be insufficient, so they can choose two sticks.

3. Nine roots

(1) Reason: The number is even greater. The reason for choosing it can first be explained by homophony. The homonym of “九” is “久”, which symbolizes longevity. Coupled with the plant itself being a symbol of "wealth", it helps that the aura of wealth stays with us for a long time. In addition, if you grow nine roots, it will be unprecedentedly grand.

(2) This number is suitable for those who like grand occasions. It is more difficult to breed nine branches.

4. Multiples of Nine

If you want to grow more plants, you can choose multiples of nine, so they will appear more vigorous. However, the difficulty of breeding will increase relatively.
