Do I need to trim the roots of lucky bamboo after buying it?

1. Do you need to prune the roots?

After purchasing lucky bamboo, you need to trim the roots properly, because the lucky bamboo may not have its roots trimmed for a long time in the hands of the florist. If you don't simply trim it, rotten roots and dead roots may hinder its growth. After buying it, you need to trim the side branches, rotten and dry roots. Proper pruning will help it grow more vigorously. But not all of them need pruning. If the roots of lucky bamboo are in good growth condition, there is no need to prune them.

2. Precautions

When pruning, use sterilized scissors to avoid bacteria on the blades infecting the root wounds. When pruning, you can prune it diagonally, which will make it sprout faster. In addition, if there are yellow leaves on the plant, they also need to be trimmed off. This can greatly reduce the loss of nutrients and help it take root faster.

3. Daily maintenance

1. If you want to use the purchased plants for hydroponics, you must ensure that the water is clean enough and change the water in time before the plants take root, so as not to affect their growth due to poor water quality.

2. If you are growing the plants in soil, you must also pay attention to disinfection. The soil must be disinfected at high temperature before use, because there may be insect eggs or bacteria in the soil that may hinder rooting.
