You can first use scissors to cut off the ulcerated parts of the lucky bamboo roots and then perform simple disinfection. Some ulcerated parts are not obvious, so you can poke the bamboo branch with your fingers. If you feel soft, you should cut it off, and continue cutting until you reach the hard part. After disinfection, place it in a ventilated and dry place to dry naturally before inserting it into the cultivation vase.
