When the bamboo appears dry tip and scorched edge, it is necessary to cut off the dry parts, trim all the dead leaves, and clean the petioles when the base of the leaves is in the state of bursting. If the root rot or necrosis occurs, take it out, cut off the rotten root and replace it with water for cultivation. In addition, the growth of weaker twigs and new branches should also be pruned to promote the development of new branches.

I. trim the leaves

In case of dry tip and scorched edge of Lucky Bamboo leaves, it is necessary to use scissors to trim the dry parts in time. If the whole leaf is withered, it should be pruned completely. When pruning leaves, it should be noted that the base of the leaves is in the state of bursting stem, so it is necessary to clean up all the petioles of bursting stem at the base.

2. Prune the root system.

The roots of Lucky Bamboo will be rotten or necrotic. At this time, take it out of the cultivation container, trim the rotten roots with clean scissors, clean the rotten roots with clear water, and then put them into the water for cultivation.

3. Prune the branches.

During the curing period, the leaves at the bottom of Lucky Bamboo fell off and the leaves at the top continued to sprout. Due to the change of environment, the upper branches may be thinner and weaker. In this case, two or three leaves in the lower part can be reserved, and all the new twigs and twigs in the upper part can be cut off to promote the development of new branches. Such a branch can send out two or three twigs to form a relatively dense crown.

Cut off all the upper twigs and new branches.
