1. What is the use of placing iron nails

Putting an iron nail in the lucky bamboo grown in water can supplement the iron element to the plant after oxidation, which is beneficial to its growth, can avoid yellowing leaves and root rot, and can also prevent fungal infection. However, if you want it to grow vigorously, you must also pay attention to the maintenance methods. It is not enough to just put iron nails on it.

2. How much water to put

When growing it in water, you don’t need to put too much water. The amount of water should be enough to cover its root system, that is, to submerge all the roots in water. If the amount of water is too high, it will hinder the respiration of the roots and affect growth. In addition, pay attention to the water quality. If you use tap water, make sure to evaporate the centimeters of chlorine before using it.

3. Water culture method

1. Change water: Change the water regularly during water cultivation and ensure the water is clean. Change it every two or three days in the early stage, and once a week after the roots grow. After the root system stabilizes, reduce the frequency to once every two weeks. In addition, pay attention to cutting the bottom of the branches at an angle so that the water absorption area is larger and it is easier to grow roots.

2. Temperature: It is not cold-resistant, so you should pay more attention to the temperature when growing it in water. The minimum temperature must be above 10 degrees, and it is best to maintain it between 18-24 degrees. Such an environment is more conducive to growth.

3. Light: It does not require much light and is afraid of strong light. During the maintenance period, just place it in a dark place, but expose it to the sun occasionally. Be careful not to place it where there is refracted light, as this will burn the leaves and hinder growth.
