How do you care for lucky bamboo plants?

Answer by  nnlin (53)

Lucky bamboo plants can be very easily taken care of. After I bought one from a Chinese market, I settled it in a strong, ceramic pot with small stones. Since there is no soil or absorbency in the pot, the water will just sit in the pot until evaporated. It will need to be watered daily to reduce dehydration.

Lucky bamboo will thrive in any light conditions, but it needs a lot of water. A water tray with some sponge to keep the water is a must.

Lucky Bamboo will do best with moderate levels of indirect sunlight. It likes water but not chemicals like chlorine and flouride. Every week pour out water and add fresh water.

Just water them, that's it, they need very little to no care. In fact it's best to just put them in the sun and leave them alone. They are one of the easiest plants to take care of. Do not fertilize or plant them in dirt they don't need it.

Little care is needed for the lucky bamboo plant. It needs little direct sunlight and about an inch of water. Water should be changed every week to keep it fresh. These plants like temperatures of 65-70 degrees. Add a mild solution of African Violet fertilizer to the water to feed it.

Lucky bamboo plants can be kept in water and don't need dirt. You can secure them in rocks or marbles. If the leaves look dead, cut them off as they may be infected. Change water.

Bamboo is generally an easy plant to care for. I suggest you use a pot that is swallow in nature. Use little potting soil and rocks on top.
