Can turtle-backed bamboo be hydroponically cultivated?

Bamboo on the back of a tortoise can be cultured in water. Tortoise back bamboo originated from the Mexican tropical rain forest, breeding is very easy, like warm and humid environment, avoid strong light exposure and drying, shade-resistant, easy to grow in fertile and loose, large water absorption, good water retention of slightly acidic loam, rotten leaf soil or peat soil is the best, can also be hydroponic culture.

Hydroponic culture method of tortoise back bamboo

1. Plant treatment: hydroponic turtle back bamboo needs to select small soil culture plants, remove the tortoise back bamboo from the soil, wash the roots, try not to hurt the roots, and then cut off all the surrounding fibrous roots (the middle main root should not be cut).
