I discovered that bamboo don't like the chemicals in the water we drink and that's especially true if the chemicals are chlorine and fluoride. I have to use bottled water or rain water for my 20 year old Bamboo.
I have accidentally killed many plants with this 😶🥲🙃 my boyfriend moved out of state and gave me a bamboo plant, and IT IS GOING TO LIVE THIS TIME. Only the best for him from now on 👌
@@kamilareeder1493 Be careful of the bottled water you purchase. Some bottled water have additives that may harm your plants. Some labels read: "Purified with minerals added for flavor," or so it will taste good to humans, but, I don't know if these minerals will harm houseplants. Many companies that sell bottled water put calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, magnesium and sometimes a little salt in them. I wonder if there's a market for houseplant's water?
@@aah6489 Thanks :) Luckily I don't use bottled water because I don't like the single use plastics, so I water my plants using water from a brita filter. They are spoiled lol. So far I think the plant likes it, it doesn't have the yellow tips anymore and the stalk is getting greener
I also bought few bamboo plants from Ikea in Milan they grew pretty well and my brother had borrowed some from me 😊I love bamboos I still remember during my vacation in the Philippines I took a trip to a bamboo village it was stunning 😊
Hi I just found your channel I bought some lucky bamboo in soil, and was going to transfer to water but after watching your video im going to transfer my water bamboo to soil, thank you for the information.
Thanks for the well explained video. I'm glad I found your channel. I'm growing it for the first time and your info is very useful. I'm from USA. Same last name!
I know this is an old video however they also may not like the chlorine in the water. I want to try some that I just got from Lowes (DIY) in the soil. They were letting them dry out in the little water spikes that they come in sometimes. Love your instructions!
Concerning tap/treated water; I normally fill a jug of water and let it "breathe" for at least 30min (often a full day) before using on plants. I think that works though I still prefer rain water.
These plants definitely need fertilized soil like any other plant, any potted plant soil works. I hate that stores sell them submerged in water or with water beads; they won't last long like that. If you're rooting cuttings, then the bottom can be submerged for a couple of weeks, no substrate needed - using some type of rooting powder is good to. Sometimes in order to save a plant, you need to cut and re-root them if they have root rot.
Many plants grow best in water. This one can, too. The question is what water is used and are they getting the nutrients that they need. Whole gardens can be planted hydroponically...plants need food and most are sensitive to the chemicals in tap water. Rain water, filtered, or distilled are best. My philodendron thrives in water. All of my houseplants, except for my pothos (which will be transitioned soon) are in water and going strong.
I wanted to ask you if you would help me with my luckies. They all 3 had turned yellow at the bottom, so I cut them and transplanted them. Only thing is, I'm not sure if I did it right. I watched you and did my best. I cut the yellow off and put them in this new vase, then I took the yellow ones and put them in another jar with roots attached. Was this all the right steps, and if not, would you mind helping me with what I may have missed or done wrong ? Also, should I cut the roots off the yellow stocks ?
I just purchased a lucky bamboo potted plant in pebbles. They are in a bunch. Should I replant them in planter soil? Mahalo’s!🥰🤙🏽Can I water with distilled water or bottled spring water?
My 7 or 10 roots are still yellow....can I cut the whole root section and will new roots come again....there is only 1 branch now with 1 leaf!!!! Changed the water and washed the pebbles etc
I have a few comments to leave If you allow me... At the tip you can melt some candle on It to Prevent the drying on the Edges. I would Also would take out those New growts and put in water to have New plants and your bambu you produce New Babies again right away.
Many purified waters (bottled water) have chemicals added, I only drink spring water now because of the chemicals in the tap too, i drink ozarka, but as long as it says spring water and it lists the spring sources on the label, it's good. Our plants deserve this water just as much as we do ❤ No chemicals for them
i can’t see bottom of container with rocks to see how much or when i should water. my last bamboos died, overwatering. label on this one says water every other day, but that sounds suspect. any suggestions? great video, btw. /Bklyn👑
Hi, I enjoy watching your channel, I discover one of my lucky bamboo the end of the leaves are dried.. What do i do to save my bamboo of getting more dried leaves on the end /
Your gravel was making the wather PH to high. You have to check rocks by putting them in vinegar if you see bubbles do not use it. Common knowledge in aquarium keepers.
Hi Shara, II would like to ask you, I grow the Lucky Bamboo in the water, using bottled water. I change the once a week. There are times the leaves turn yellow or the stalk itself turns slowly to yellow and I have to replace it. Is this a problem of the water perhaps? I heard you saying that lbamboos prefer the soil. By the way, I have 12 stalks. I haven't found what's the meaning of 12 stalks. Thanks a lot for your help.

Would distilled water be good?

Yes, I do like Bamboo too, every time i see bamboo remind me of Asia 😀. BTW do you grow them in the water or soil?
@@sharanyein3466 I did both 😊the one I had in the water was faster growing than the one had in the soil 😊

I live in Norway too
Bought Lucky Bamboo from Ikea 17 years ago. Still having it 😊
When lucky bamboo grows in water, use only rain water or RO (reverse osmosis) water.
I know this is an old video however they also may not like the chlorine in the water. I want to try some that I just got from Lowes (DIY) in the soil. They were letting them dry out in the little water spikes that they come in sometimes. Love your instructions!
Thank you so much..i will try to do it.I’ve been struggling with my lucky bamboo for years🤦🏻♀️now I have new idea..thank You thank you so much 🥰
I wish you good luck with your lucky bamboo ;)
Concerning tap/treated water; I normally fill a jug of water and let it "breathe" for at least 30min (often a full day) before using on plants. I think that works though I still prefer rain water.
Why it goes spiral on the top can we grow them to remain upright as they grow ?
Thank you for your tips!
They’re so difficult to care for but you’ve given me some great tips!

What kind of water and fertilizer do you use to care for lucky bamboo? Is distilled or purified water o.k.? Does lucky bamboo really need fertilizer?
Thankyou for showing or sharing how to care of the lucky bamboo 🖐☝🙏💤💥⭐💫atsuuup 👍

Thank you for very nice suggestion 😃
Can we use any kind of soil for lucky bamboo or their is any specification?
Does potting soil work? Which we use for tomatoes and vegetables?
At night time should I put them under a light bulb or leave it in the dark?
Thank you very much for the well explained video with high quality images :)
Hope you found something useful out of my video 😍😀

agree :)
My lucky bamboo is tied together that's how I bought it from the store and it is turning yellow should I untie the heart or can I leave it...thanks
What soil is best for lucky bamboo?
Thank you sister for your experience and advice.
I purchased 10 bamboo that are about 3-4 feet tall. Can I place all of them in the same large container?
i can’t see bottom of container with rocks to see how much or when i should water.
my last bamboos died, overwatering.
label on this one says water every other day, but that sounds suspect.
any suggestions? great video, btw.

Hi, I enjoy watching your channel, I discover one of my lucky bamboo the end of the leaves are dried.. What do i do to save my bamboo of getting more dried leaves on the end /
I would like to learn about lucky bamboo please
Hello, what type and brand of soil do you use?
I have a question my leaf is growing another plant is that norm
Awesome dear
You are luminous.
What kind of soil do you grow lucky bamboo in? I have petmos and land soil.
Your gravel was making the wather PH to high. You have to check rocks by putting them in vinegar if you see bubbles do not use it. Common knowledge in aquarium keepers.
How often should I water in soil? Good video!
How about fertiliser?
What type and how often?
I give fertiliser once in 2 months or 3 months 😍😀
What type of soil do you use please?
I just use normal planting soil. 😀
Nice video..make it short next time ❤️✨
Can I show you a picture of what I did ?

Imma use the water from the river behind my house
😊
May i ask how to curl the lucky bamboo.
They were curly when we bought them. If you want to curl you need to turn them regularly facing the sunlight.
Please make a propagation video
Yes, i will definitely do it in the spring, please wait just two more month 😊😉
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️♥️

What kind of soil do you use?
I use normal potting soil 😃😍
