I have a Bamboo plant too that I bought a little over a year now lol it's still in the same container it was in since I bought it.. (elephant container) I want to repot my plant, but I'm afraid I'll kill it or something 😐 Where'd you get the pot? Is there a specific one that bamboo plants like? Love your video btw!

How often do we need to water and how? i was told to immerse the pot into bucket full of water and take it and leave it with whatever water it has got into the pot. ...I do not have a green thumb and just started gardening...so bear with my dumb question :(

Beautiful… Thank you for sharing🍃

It's normal to get hesitant when growing, don't worry.. a lot of the time, I don't like to mess with my plants unless it's needed, especially if they're doing well. Since you haven't repotted in about 7 yrs, it's probably a good idea to do so (especially if it's not growing too well anymore).

Always try again and learn from your mistakes.. It's how I taught myself yrs back and wouldn't have it any other way. Paying close attention to how each plant grows and what they like, really helps you to understand their amazing beauty and what they have to offer. Doing your research and watching videos are great, but to really get to know your plants, you have to grow it yourself and never give up. Try different things and remember to have fun with it😊Plants are very resilient to a lot of things and it's amazing what they can come back from.

Great video, I actually killed my bamboo. The stems just kept rotting one by one and but i was able to salvage a couple that I then propagated. Let’s see how they do. Will try potting as per your recommendation!

Hello I bought a lucky bamboo plant and continued to water it. Eventually it got too big for the pot that I had it in so I replanted it into a much bigger pot. I feed it about half a gallon to a gallon of water a week and it just drinks up the water like nothing. The problem is that it's been about 3 months now since the plant last grew and I'm not sure what's happening since I have heard and seen that these plants get as big as 12 ft in height. Does this mean I'm over-watering it or do I just need to replant it yet again into another pot that's much bigger? I have been feeding it less water lately to see if that helps and I'm not really seeing a difference in the plants growth.

I had to cut one branch because it grew too high . I put it in water and it grew a little root. Should I put it only in rocks with water or add some soil? Not so sure what to do..Thanks

I have a much much smaller bamboo plant. But it is getting route bound and I want to transplant it into another container larger one. Is that a good thing or bad??

Thanks for the video, how are they doing after reporting and what’s ideal light condition for bamboo plants?

They're doing great. I have so many more now, all from the original plant. I have to give an update on this soon. My apologies. I have it growing in bright but indirect light and I don't let the soil dry out completely. I water when it's half way dry to the bottom. They like humidity and don't need to be fertilized too often or heavily. I top my soil with earthworm castings and use a slow release organic granual fertilizer once a month during the growing season. It's somewhere around a 5-6-6.. Hope this helps. FYI.. they don't like water with chlorine and flouride so I use either rain water, distilled/filtered water, spring water or I let my water sit out, with the lid off, for 24 hrs before watering with it. That helps to release most of the chemicals that are harmful to your plants 🪴

I just have water and rocks in my pot, but how do I plug the drainage holes?

I was gifted a bamboo plant and and I'm afraid I'm overwatering it some of my stocks keep turning yellow.. Would it be best if I repot my bamboo plant in soil?

i hope this works for me. i bought mine from home depot over watered, and im currently trying to save her. wish me luck!

Your video was so very helpful. We have had our Lucky Bamboo for years. It hasn't grown very much but I wasn't terribly worried about it. I noticed the leaves were starting to yellow. Looked it up and I was wrong when I thought they were needing more sunshine. I thought it might be a good time to see if they were also needing a bit more space inside the pot, mine have always been in soil. I popped it out as I watched you do it. I was a bit mortified to find the roots were over a foot in length. I broke the roots away from the bottom but I did use some fresh soil also. Wish me luck! Debbe

I plan to repor mine in soil. I Love the planter that it came in because it's so cute. It's just a square white ceramic planter sitting in a black stand I really love it I just want to replant it with some different soil because I have some of them that are turning yellow all the way down the stem and I don't know why I'm thinking they probably do need more room to grow so I may have to just chuck it up and get a bigger planter.

Don't be too hard on yourself, not all succulents are easy to grow and I still have issues afyer 10 years with some plants. Some plants are just sensitive to things. These lucky bamboo plants like to be planted in a well draining soil like miracle grow cactus palm and citrus potting mix and some added perlite or pumice for drainage. They are sensitive if you have hard water or flouride in your water. I like to use distilled, filtered or rain water to water mine.

These prefer a good rich but well draining soil. I like to use regular potting mix and succulent soil together 50/50 with added drainage material, but I'm in an extremely humid environment. I like to transfer all of my bamboo into soil because they seem to last longer and thrive better but that's my preference. That being said, these can be grown hydroponically for a while if fed and the water is changed properly. Hope this helps!

I adopted this lucky bamboo from my mother, amongst a few other indoor plants. I have never been successful with plants, so therefore am fearful of doing anything. My bamboo is very large, the bottom leaves are turning yellow. I need to replant this to a larger pot. As of now, this bamboo is twined together in a long planter, similar to the one in the video. Do I break up the individual plants, or leave them in the long line as is? Also, in your video you don't show adding any additional potting soil. Please tell me what I should put in the pot, after putting a layer of rock down first. I thank you in advance.

@StaceyHerewegrowagain

Are they fuzzy white spots. That can be mildew or mold starting to grow on top.. sometimes it's a good idea to repot your bamboo when you first bring them home because they can be in a really thick muddy soil, which might not be good for your growing environment. I use regular potting mix by Miracle gro (it's called Nature's care organic potting mix) and I add perlite to it. It really helps with drainage and dries my soil out quicker. The mildew usually starts growing when your containers stay wet for too long. The perlite really helps with that. Lmk if you need anything else😊

I always let my soil dry out most of the way before watering again. Bamboo doesn't like dry soil, so just be careful not to let the soil stay dry inbetween the waterings. I keep my soil on the moist side for these, but not soaking wet. I use half succulent soil and half regular potting soil because I live in Florida and need the extra drainage material. If you live in a drier climate, you probably don't have to worry about adding half succulent soil and half potting mix. You could probably just use the potting mix by itself. How much you water them per week, will all depend on your type of climate.

Hi there. I use decorative rocks from Lowes, home depot, Walmart etc... they are usually a kind of river rock and it's usually by the soil and planter section. Remember that rock will tend to keep your soil wet for a longer period of time 😉 I actually started using pumice as my top dressing. It helps the soil to dry, keeps the soil aerated and looks pretty too. Some ppl don't like using pumice as a top dressing but I find for my type of climate its better than rocks. Hope this helps! Anything like beach rocks wouldn't work because they hold too much water 😉

Bamboo plants should only be watered every 2 weeks. I used to have a Japanese garden and my entire back fence was lined with bamboo stalks 6' tall in buckets.

Yah Walmart plant Production is horrible. As soon as you buy anything "ornamental" transplant immediately because they glue rocks together for dirt and everything they do is wrong. All their bonsai all their bamboo all their suculants and cacti, anything ornamental repot immediately.

In a way i would say yes, I chose the pot size based on the size of the root systems which wasn't much at all. I wanted them to bounce back without any issues so I went on the smaller side just to avoid overwatering and such. This means I had to repot them sooner but that was not a big deal for me. I would rather repot it sooner than risking too much soil in the pot without much roots to such it up. Hope this helps!
