Lucky bamboo can be best propagated through cuttings
So you can multiply your lucky bamboo
Lucky Bamboo is easy to multiply. You can cut the trunk and place the sections in water for rooting or cutting off shoots or cuttings. Again, place them in the water until roots have formed.
Previous article Does a lucky bamboo have to be circumcised regularly?From seeds, the lucky bamboo is not so easy to pull. Hobby gardeners should rather do without it, especially as the lucky bamboo does not bloom that often. Much easier is the propagation through parent division or offshoot. If you have a very strong, high-grown lucky bamboo, then cut the stem into several pieces at least 10 cm long and place them in a container filled with water.
Cutting cuttings
Often, the lucky bamboo makes runners, which you can use as very good as cuttings. A pleasant side effect is that the lucky bamboo in these places again drives out and then often forms several side shoots. This makes the plant bushier and you will always get new offshoots. Use a clean knife to cut the side shoots as close as possible to the trunk without injuring it.
Rooted cuttings
Put the cuttings in a glass or vase with water. This should not be fresh but a bit stale and stand a few inches high in the vessel. Place the container in a light and warm place with high humidity. The temperature should be around 20-22 ° C. Pour the cuttings as soon as the water level drops.
Earth or water - where do young plants grow better?
The easy-care lucky bamboo can be cultivated both in water and in soil. If he is in a vase or hydroponics, then he should be fertilized regularly. This is not necessary when planting in soil, at least for the first time. However, the young plants should have previously formed proper roots, otherwise they do not grow well.

Tips
If your lucky bamboo makes side shoots, use them as offshoots.
