How do you prune a lucky bamboo?
Pruning is seldom needed for lucky bamboo . The old leaves under the stem will wither naturally and it only requires removing them in time; and new leaves will grow continuously. When the plants are tall, their height can be controlled by pruning. Pruning is generally done in spring with sharp gardening scissors (branch scissors) or knives to prune lucky bamboo to the required height. The bud points should be reserved under the cut and new leaves will grow out several weeks later.
