Lucky bamboo isn’t really a bamboo, but rather a dracaena that serves as more of a houseplant. Keep lucky bamboo out of the full sun and provide it with partial shade with help from a sustainable gardener in this free video on gardening tips.

Lucky bamboo has to be grown in soil it will rot in just water!
My lucky bamboo did Just Fine in rocks and water for 6 years. I also discovered that it did much better with distilled water as well.
does lucky bamboo grow fast
in certain climates
You keep saying its a house plant, and yet you put it outside and half killed the poor thing 🙁
Mine has been living happily with me for many years now, planted in rocks not soil. Watered always.
I have 2 lucky bamboo plants I bought that I put at my workplace. Both of the lucky bamboo plants were bought more than 2 years ago, & they are still healthy & tall. The lucky bamboo plants are fine indoors. I don't put them against the window. I put them on top of filing cabinet called the Panda & Bamboo plant corner. I have a panda sculpture attached to a big tree-like stump on that filing cabinet that is sitting on artificial green astroturf & the 2 lucky bamboo plants are on (cont.)
each side of the panda sculpture. I can be good when it comes to taking care of indoor plants. I have many purple shamrock plants that my co-workers & I have helped sprout into many indoor pots & we give the purple shamrock plants to friends, family, & a few clients who really want one badly. At my workplace, we get lots of compliments on the purple shamrock & lucky bamboos. One time, this guy asked if he could buy a plant I helped take care of out of the many at my workplace for his (cont.)
girlfriend for Valentine's Day. 😀 My workplace is NOT even a greenhouse or flower place. But we receive many compliments each time kids & adults arrive at my workplace. It's like stress relief for people to gaze & look at our plants & flowers. If I had a side job, I'd probably be good at running a flower & plant shop or being a party planner, decorator, or personal shopper. Like somebody else said, LuckyBambooExpert has great videos on how to properly grow & maintain lucky bamboo's health.

please note I've not done anything new just bottled water, indoors shady sun, and i've only pruned it twice to take off broke leave and that was in august
Hi
I just found that out. Afriend brought some by for me to plant sit. I left them on the front porch out of direct sunlight thinking it would be a fine a fine spot. 4 days later they started yellowing. They were NOT HAPPY. I thought that I had ruined them. Nice to know that they will revive. 🙂
She's ripping the routs out 🙂
Oy, dumm yanks, its called soil, NOT DIRT, un imaginative freaks.
Oh hey! Have you heard about – zrumplina diy aquaponics (google it)? Ive seen some incredible things about it and my mate grew cool fruits with it.
Why keep doing things that are unhealthy for your plants to need to bring them back to life? I do everything in my power to keep mine happy & healthy!!
Thanks a lot
Funny how the bamboo in the back is dead
Do you trim the roots ever when they look really long in water and rock?
just stop
how can I plant my seeds do u have tips please
which fertilizer is used for lucky bamboo?
How do you know if the root is still alive? Or if its truly dead?
that is a really huge pot for that lucky bamboo.. The reason for the yellowing is that because the pot it's in is too big when you water it takes longer for the soil to dry out so that means changes for root rot, soggy stems, yellow and brown tips. Lucky bamboo like small pots p, preferably clay for airation
Had a question, been growing lucky bamboo for 2 years and one of my bamboo now has a growth coming from under the soil and it seems attached to the bamboo..what is it?
Ummmm
I want to use lucky bamboo for a tarantula of mine. It will be webbing up on the bamboo because it is an arboreal tarantula. The only idea I have to keep the root system healthy is to basically have a fishbowl at the bottom with gravel for nitrogen. Is that a good idea or a bad idea??
I have Lucky Bamboo, mine is shaped in a heart & some of them are squiggly, I've had it about 3 or 4 yrs. But my question is… how do I safely cut the shoots off without damaging my main plant… I don't want to change the shape of it, the shoots are really tall I'm so scared that I'm going to damage my plant. Thank you for any advice you can give me
I have guppies and grow lucky bamboo in their tanks. They help ri filtering the water. They are great. Also have a set in water on my kitchen counter. Very healthy.
When I should change the water ?
Hi I have a bamboo place that I have on my kitchen window but the other day it was turning yellow just one you talk about it in the you tube. So now I need to know it was in a small thing it has grow should I put it in a bigger pot it was in mostly soil or in water?
it'll grow in a solo cup with aquarium gravel.
DO you that Questions? I have an issue with the roots I have some really high roots on a stalk and I want to know how to propagate and where to cut. I can send picture if you can help?
