Lucky bamboo is a relatively easy plant to care for and will thrive in a light-filled home. It grows best in bright light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, it won't grow very much without a lot of bright light. Rotate your plant often so that the light reaches the entire plant evenly.
The Right Container for Your Lucky Bamboo:
A lucky bamboo arrangement in a low dish or bowl should have at least one inch of space between the stalks and the edge of the vessel. This space allows the roots to spread out and support the plant. If your stalks are growing in a large glass vase, be sure the vessel is proportionate to the bamboo's height and can support the stalks. The water level should be just enough to fully submerge the roots but not rise above to the stalks.
If your plant has outgrown the vessel, transplanting lucky bamboo is relatively easy. Start with a clean container that is slightly bigger than the current one. If your bamboo is growing in a pot of water, simply remove the stalks from the water, place them in a larger container and refill the water to the same level. If the lucky bamboo is growing in a pot of pebbles, gently dig up a planted lucky bamboo. Clean the pebbles with water before placing them in the new container. Carefully add the bamboo plant and take care to nestle the roots within the pebbles. You may need to add more pebbles to cover the roots and support the plant.
