I shifted from water to soil and it’s growing beautifully. Had grown almost 4 feet. I’ve cut to 2 feet from the top and used the cut one cut to a size around 4 inches, put them in water and they to have started getting roots. Plants need lots of love and care. Changing water regularly helps all plants that are kept in water. Yes I absolutely believe that in rain water plants look happy and grow healthier.
.
The reason for the deliberate trained twists in the main stalks. The twists symbolizes the TURNING of fortune/luck from bad/normal to good. Thats why its trained into spirals instead of squares or other shapes . Whether it works is another thing ha ha. Hope this helps clarify
You can cut the sprouts and put them in water and they will re-root and you will have more lucky bamboo plants :)
Should the bamboo plants stay in water or can I replant it in soil?
@@clarisserizo1521 you can replant in soil once it has roots
Great video! Just letting you know I transferred a 10 inch Lucky Bamboo from water to soil
about 13 years ago. It grew to over 15 feet tall! I finally cut it down and am trying to propagate the cuttings.
Wow - proof it can work! 15' is tall indeed. I just cut my Lucky Bamboo back (just the foliage part) to see how fast it starts to sprout back & where. Video coming on that. Nell
@@JoyUsGarden
How fast did it grow back?

Transferred my lucky bamboo into soil and it flourished got taller and bushier and for my fertilizer I just used a tiny bit of orange peel towards the end of the spring
star whisler do you think you should put it in water first and then transfer or just put in soil first? 😯 I have mine in soil and rocks 😣 I’m new to this idk if that’s bad or not
Right what she said since the the youtuber just liked my comment instead of actually answering me. Do you recommend soil I have it in rocks and water and it's doing great thick dark green leaves but at some point should I move it to soil? I'm just wondering.
Mine are beautiful. I had bought a arrangement when I was in college, about 12 years ago, and I still have 2 stalks of the 5 left. I have 4 other arrangements that I bought on clearance from Lowe's about 4 years ago and they are doing great. What I'll mention is when the stalk grows the lower leaves die and I pluck them off and that seems to help. And another thing, I keep mine in my bathroom with all my other plants, which is very bright indirect light, and they love it. They grew super fast and respond very well to it.
did you say the stalks grows?...i've never heard of that..idk
Thank you for making CZcams a more beautiful place by the showing of your videos! 🌴😃🌵
Thanks for all your knowledge on this beautiful plant I just purchased a few today and I'm now doing my research on what the plants need and prefer and I love finding out from ppl that has experience with the plant
“A friend that was more than an acquaintance...” That bamboo is lucky.
Thanks for sharing! I just got my first lucky bamboo today so this video really helped!
Great video Nell! You mentioned about the plants Pet Safety they are toxic, toxic to ingest for animals but I HAVE to tell you, they are safe to keep in aquariums or ponds and safe for fish and other aquatic animals! helps maintain the water pH too by taking out those nitrates the fish give off. I have 3 stalks in with my 5 goldfish and I'd say they are quite 'Lucky!'
Also Riley is such a cute co-host! And Oscar is a handsome boy.
Great to know; thanks for sharing that. Your goldfish are living with good feng shui! Many plants which are labeled "toxic" just make animals sick. I'm not well versed on toxicity because I haven't experimented in that realm with my kitties; & why would I?! Nell
@@JoyUsGarden absolutely. I always keep a few in my tanks.
I’ve learnt so much from watching your videos. Thank you for sharing!
I love your bubbly attitude, and you have such a beautiful patio.😃🌴🐹
As for alge, keep it in a fish tank 😁 perfect environment. It's nice and warm and the natural nutrients from the fish will more than likely help. You will find it grows well, and you can propagate faster.
Have you ever lived in the bamboo’s natural environment? Your also not aware of the global warming going on either! 🤨 a expert on bambo says tap water is fine ! What do you think comes out of those garden hoses you use outside? Are you that dumb that you think these plant stores use purified water in nurseries ? Tell us how does it get purified in big nurseries who use hoses to water all there plants? Your tap water and your bottled water is manipulated by man ! Go drink from rivers and streams then your so called purified water bottles!
I planted my bamboo in after having them for two months they doing very well
I just got a lucky bamboo and i have a qeustion where the leaves are growing theres yellow dead layer and idk if i need to cut it or just clean it cause it kind of just looks like dead leaves
One of my favorite plants lucky bamboo
Thank you very much for the quick video filled with amazing advice! I have too many hobbies, so I don't have a lot of time to go shopping for a book 😭 but I'd still like to care properly for my Mr Bamboo!
Good tips, planning to get a rain barrel for all my plants.
I had a lucky bamboo for over 2 years and it was doing fine then i decided to upsize the container and also moved it to a different location, and that was a mistake! It was a very sunny location with some direct sun for about an hour a day..... :( I saw it not doing too well and moved it back to the original spot after 2 weeks but some damage was done already, and its been amonth and it doesnt seem to be recovering and the leaves are yellowing. And chance I can save it? Shall i prune it or cut it back ...etc?
I just found your channel it was very helpful. I was given my lucky bamboo from my husband about 10 years ago, it’s been in water and pebbles. It’s been transplanted once it’s gotten so tall. It likes the kitchen table grows great think is I’m running 🏃♂️ out of table space. Thank you for your help my daughter and I are going to propagate it tomorrow wish us luck.
Very helpful. Sharing with Houseplant Hoarders group on FB. They will love it.
Thanks for sharing, this is so helpful 😄
Glad to hear it Maria! There's a blog post with 2 more points: www.joyusgarden.com/lucky-bamboo/ Nell
Thank you
Lovely lady.
I’m so glad u covered the yellow stalks mine just died from that iv had it almost 5 years😭I just bought a new one with the 3 twists
I have at this time is growing lucky bamboo in soil and it is doing good
I've not potted them in soil from water but I do start mine in water and then transfer them to a mix of stone and coco coir and they love it. I've had my mother plants for well over 5 years.
KateInTheCity How do you start it in water from seed??? I can’t find anything on how..?
Great video thanks for sharing.
Gel balls are good for lucky bamboo? or better aquarium stones? if I
would like to use it........I keep lucky bamboo in the water , I think
it does not harm the plant
Love your cat, and I am not a cat person! Thank you for the information.. I want to keep mine in the fish tanks I have outside. Of course after winter passes.
Great video. Thank you so much. Iv learned alot now i think i will stop killing mine
Do you recommend that I move my bamboo plant from just water and rocks and move it into soil? I've had it about two years and it's doing great. Nice thick dark green leaves, I'm just wondering if at some point it's supposed to be in soil.
Why do you CZcamsrs like the comments instead of actually answering the questions?
@@yazmynebright5892 I think people "Like" your comment because they have the same question. I am wondering the same regarding water verses soil.
They never respond
I am growing mine in rocks and water as well and so far she is doing good. But I am wondering the same thing
I didnt know about tap water being a problem... And I have brown tips...transfering it to larger container ...... Are clay pots ok to use?
I learned a lot from your video, THANKS!
Lovely love it
Well, now! I learned that the plant should not be in an easterly facing window in Tucson. My late wife had a couple of these given to her before she died (so much for being "Lucky") and they were placed in or near our easterly facing, Tucson window and the leaves burned as you mentioned. They'll be moved but to were...?
*& Oscar looks amazing for 19 cat y/o!! It would seem he IS a lucky kitty!! 😻😽
Nice
Hello joyusgarden..can lucky bamboo survive in winter season because my bamboo now has a yellow leaves and I don't want my bamboo to die..pls help to rescue my bamboi.. thank you
Hello. I was given a lucky bamboo plant but the stalk is brown. I have had it since November
I just planet mine in rocks 🪨 when my initial thought were to put it in dirt sooo now I’m going to replant it and maybe make some more I love it to be honest
I have three lucky bamboo in a nice size glass vase. I've had it since October 2018. I've noticed a film on top of the water and one is starting to turn yellow. Help. Wait I'm heading this in your video now
I bought a Lucky Bamboo recently. I watched a few vids on transplanting and learned it can grow in water or soil.
So I transplanted to a larger vase with no drainage hole. I put a couple inches of pea pebbles in before the potting soil. The grower had planted it in potting soil. So far, so good.👌🏼
I did some research on Lucky Bamboo to find out about toxicity and pets. What I found said it was ok with pets.🤷🏼♀️
Doesn't distilled water not provide nutrients the plant may need? I literally know nothing about plants so I have no clue.
Oscar looks very full of life, my Nan's cat was about 16-18 maybe and was a lot less Spritely
Hi Dan - Oscar is doing just fine & showing little signs of aging. His companion Riley is 10 years younger & keeps him on his toes. I don't like it that he's getting older but I'm glad he's aging pain free (so far!) . Nell
At 4:50, is it o.k. to trim the roots so they are not too bushy?
Agree, everyone is told that lucky bamboo is a low light plant. Not true. My lucky bamboo, I call - 幸运的竹子, prefers medium light.
I'm glad you agree. I often see it billed a a "very" low light plant which I haven't found to be true. Much better growth & health in medium light conditions. Nell
MUCH
Good morning Joy and yes I totally agree with you. My Mom just last Friday, gifted me two baby Lucky Bamboo shoots that she rooted in water. I put them in water in a cute little white ceramic pot with marbles to anchor them and dechlorinated water tucked in a low light corner of my kitchen. Since then, the stalks have started to turn yellow so I removed them from the pot and marbles, and placed them in a clear jar with new water just a few feet from my southeast-facing window. I hope they recover.😊
The sprial shape is done by using special plant lights, (as it is a low light/shade loving plant) but they put the lights way to the side & then as the plant grows they just kind of spin or turn the plant so that as it grows it grows in the direction of the light, since it is still basically "seeking out the light"🌱. It seems to me that this is probably somewhat time consuming but I've never tried it myself, so TBH, IDK 4sure..?!? But I do know that is how it's done. 👌🏼😜👍🏼
Where do you buy them. I can find them I live in canada
One of my stalks of my lucky bamboo how do I save it?
Hi Nell! How are you?
I transfered Lucky Bamboo from soil to water years ago. I had to rinse all the soil off the roots, using room temperature water. I also changed the water weekly at first, too make sure the water stayed clean. I also use distilled water for my LB. The plant is growing nicely. Hope that helps answer your question?
I have watched your videos about your Ponytail Palms. I bought a large one last year and it was doing great. It had a lot of new growth. This week I woke up an all the new, light green growth had bent and collapsed into the old, dark green stems. WHAT HAPPENED? If you have a clue, please let me know. THANKS!
Gerry,
😐
It sure does! Looks like others have had good luck with that too. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated! Nell
What is the difference between lucky bamboo and the other kind?
Good info you are very knowledgeable
I have 1 plant it was transferred to dirt. It was In water
Others have said that too Gerard. Thank you for sharing! Nell
How do you get a thick stalks ?
Hi - I bought it that way. The stalks haven't gotten any smaller or larger over the years. The growers offer some with even thicker stems. Nell
@@JoyUsGarden I bought the original one with thick stalks but the new shoots I propagated in water, but they continue to be slim unlike the original one I had bought. Any ideas ?
Would transplanting them in soil with added fertilizer nutrition make a difference ?
I have a couple of bamboo plants, some are in water, and some in dirt. In my opinion the ones in dirt seem to be more healthy, in my opinion
why do the tips of the leaves turn brown?
Do the stalks themselves grow.
💚🌱🌿
My lucky bamboo did not dry out, I use distilled water and I have not used fertilizer. One of my stalks is turning light.
I also talked to 3 different plant stores and they use tap water and another lie they are exposed to all kinds of weather ,including floods!
its my understanding that bamboo will grow taller if you propagate the cut off sprouts. they wont look the same on the top but they eventually grow stalks and can be like 6ft tall.
Wheather we need to change water
Beautiful...🌷🍀🌹JM Adenium 🇧🇷 Subs 🙏🙏🙏
hi snell
Wish me luck I’m trying again
Why is my bamboo not as green as yours it's a yellowish color
I grow it in both. I'd say do you
You leves turn yellow because there in water if you put in soil you will be fine always pot them in 3 5 7 odd numbers for the luck
If the stalks turn yellow, it’s best to prune it. After cutting off the yellow part, seal it with candle wax so no bacteria can get in the open wound. Also to prevent root rot or yellowing, never put gravel or water retentive gel balls over their roots. If y’all are using gravel, make sure the stalks are above the gravel. Never use water retentive gel balls, they may contain chemicals that may rot the roots of your lucky Bamboo, that happened to unfortunately. Hope this helps y’all :) 🎋🌱💚
What causes the plant to get root rot?
Kerri - It's usually due to a build up of bacteria in the water over time. Nell
My two Lucky Bamboo are in water, but do NOT look as Beautiful as yours :( They are taking forever to grow.
Maybe more light?
Lucky Bamboo real also Brown if you keep it in the sun too long it will Brown and die
I love it... you’re right CZcams is just an excuse for us to show off our pets
How about zero water. I have a zero water pitcher
Is it purafied
I only grow it in soil. What I’ve usually seen, it rots in water
Thx for the infos., start rooting one in water today.😊
I don't see all five elements (water, wood, earth, fire and metal) in your lucky bamboo arrangement.
You don’t know what your talking about they can grow with a lot more water half of my stem is in water and they grow faster that way
Is that cat dead?
Hope you know it’s toxic to your cat lady ,it’s also toxic to dogs! But there you are with yours in your cats reach
This lady has less than basic knowledge. I wouldn't listen to her
She lost me at the water level🤦♀️
Lier it’s toxic try watching other peoples videos or ask expert growers funny how easily I found out they are toxic to cats and dogs!
It is NOT a bamboo. They are Dracaenas.
She already said that? Lmao
Not really great video. More then half the things you mention the answer was idk
This has been the most UN-educational i've seen on the topic.....what DO you know about these plants? Keep em in water!?
