The suitable temperature for the growth of Lucky Bamboo is above 5 ℃ in hydroponics, and the ideal temperature should be above 15 ℃, so that it can enter the vigorous growth period, and its rooting will be faster.
The stems of Lucky Bamboo can't be damaged. Some hidden damages can't be observed when purchasing. For example, in the northern winter, if they stay outside for a little long time, they may be frostbitten. But it's not easy to see if they don't look carefully. There are also times when the cuttings are dehydrated for too long, which is not conducive to later rooting.
It needs dark environment for cutting off the Lucky Bamboo to take root, and many people like to insert it into transparent containers when they are raising it. In fact, in this environment, strong light will inhibit the growth of root system. So in the state of hydroponics, especially when the root system is not enough, it is better to put the root in a dark environment in the early stage, which will be more conducive to the formation of the root.
Some auxin and rooting agent can be added in the water to stimulate the germination of new roots of Lucky Bamboo, so that its new roots can occur as soon as possible, and make the roots grow more fully.
