ReferencesAbout This ArticleTo take care of lucky bamboo, place your plant in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid keeping it in direct sunlight since the leaves could burn. If you’re growing your lucky bamboo in water, make sure there’s always enough water in the container to cover the roots. Change out the water once per week so the roots don’t start to rot. If you’re growing your lucky bamboo in soil, water it whenever the soil starts to dry out, or about once a week. Water it lightly so the soil is moist but not soaked. If the leaves on your plant turn yellow, it could mean it’s not getting enough water or it’s getting too much sunlight. You can trim off yellow leaves with sterilized scissors to keep your lucky bamboo looking green and healthy. Did this summary help you?

I knew that wasn't normal, so I removed the yellow stalk. I then noticed the largest stalk yellow as well, so I removed it and cleaned the rest (pebbles included). I researched how to care for them, and it turns out that I killed it by over watering! I literally rotted my plant without even realizing it! This article taught me exactly how to care for them, and I will never kill this type of plant again! " Should I take the ties off my bamboo?If you purchase multiple Lucky Bamboo plant stems that are tied together, do not remove the ties, this stabilizes the plant. Lucky Bamboo plants require very little care and grow practically anywhere as long as you keep the water clean and chemical free. That's a matter of preference. What happens when you top bamboo?Topping Bamboo Bamboo doesn't experience secondary woody growth like a tree. Once the bamboo is topped, it will remain the same height for all of the cane's life cycle. Cut just above the nodal ring. Make sure that you leave some viable limbs and cut about 1/4 of an inch above the node when you top bamboo. Should bamboo be tied?This will prevent strong wind from uprooting them or damaging new shoots and culms. Tall bamboo plants are best guyed with a rope tied to the same point on the culms, anywhere from about one third to halfway up the culm. Can bamboo do structural damage?The roots of bamboo growing horizontally can also cause damage to pools, decks and patios, driveways, outdoor structures and retaining walls. For larger properties, sprinkler systems can also be damaged by the constant spread of a bamboo plant, further complicating property maintenance. |
