Lucky Bamboo Growing Instructions
Grow lucky bamboo in low or medium light for best results. It can take a high-light spot, but lucky bamboo doesn't like direct sun so it's best to protect it with a sheer curtain to diffuse the light.
You'll often see lucky bamboo sold without soil. The stems may be submerged in water with pebbles, gravel, marbles, colorful gels, even aquariums with fish. Lucky bamboo is happiest when you keep the stems submerged. While this plant can also grow just fine in most tap water, it is advisable to allow the water to sit overnight to allow the chlorine and other chemicals in the water to clear out. Others like to use rain water, which of course is what ALL plants prefer.
If you wish to fertilize your lucky bamboo, use a fertilizer for aquatic plants and follow the directions on the fertilizer package.
When your lucky bamboo outgrows its container, you can easily transfer it to a larger container. Pack in pebbles, stones, or other materials to help keep the stems upright.
