Made water level to high (big mistake?)

17 years ago

I had it growing in a tall vase so i thought y not fill it up all the way. how i have roots growing in thw middle of my lucy bamboo plant.(not alot only one here and there)(the roots arnt that big really small) should i change the water level? to a inch from the bottom? i dont want roots growing in the middle its in a clear vase. and i dont have the whole thing filled with rocks.

I guess you could try some discriminate root pruning.

I have a book that says to fill it to the base of the cane. If I were you, I'd put marbles in it, because books reccomend it..
