Your video is very helpful. A few questions about my flourishing bamboo plant: The initial bamboo plant was thriving nicely; over the past few months, there were some brown leaves and yellow leaves (should I break them off or cut them with scissor); two of the roots have died; the question is the plant has created around seven new roots that are growing outside the central, original one that has a tie around it to keep it together and straight--what should I do about the new roots (they look very healthy)? Are they signals that the plant--which is around two years old--has outgrown its pot? Should I place a tie around them as the original one has? Looking forward to your guidance.
1. Brown leaves are natural assuming your plant is healthy, not need to worry. 2. Roots dying is also natural, your can prune it but do not disturb the healthy roots 3. New shoots growing is a sign that your plant is thriving... at some point you should separate them to reduce competition for nutrients. 4. In the meantime, it is a good idea to tie the plant for stability. Hope that answers your questions 🙏
Why is algee bad for the bamboo? Cos I have no iusses with the look of algee if it’s just looks. Also I’m looking at doing a layered sub-straight method similar to a planted fish tank. 1-2 inch of potting soil where the roots will live capped with propagation sand then a good layer of some gravel on top for more support. This would mean I don’t have to feed wirh liquid as often do you have any thoughts on this?
Hi, Firstly, the biggest issue with algae is that it competes with the plant for nutrients and oxygen in water. At some point, algae will take over the vase, depriving your plant off essential nutrients. Secondly, the sub-straight fish tank idea of growing lucky bamboo is feasible, fun 😀🌿 (hope you're not going to add water into it?)
Mine too. Last one I had for a long time and then it turned yellow and got root right. I took it apart, and I put it the tops of the plant in water. It’s been doing fine since I have it in water and rocks. I was wondering how the heck am I gonna know when it needs water lol I hope this video helps me out. 😂
The short answer yes. You can of course get cuttings from a plant. It is important to make sure you dont disturb the 'mother' plant. Check out the tips for Propagating Lucky Bamboo plants in the playlist in the video for more information.
Water is great if your lucky bamboo is healthy, which is often the case for new plants. If you have had it for years, you may have to think about repotting it, in water or dirt whichever works well for you.
A type of plant nutrient solution (fertilzer) that comes in liquid form. Some can be applied directly to the plant , others are more concentrated and needed diluting in water before applying to plants.
Just what I was looking for my new lucky bamboo plant!! Thanks so so much ❤ God loves, sees, and hears you!
You are so welcome!
Quick, informative and clear...😊😊😊

@@GardenBambooPlants yeah I put water in it was the same principle as planting one in a small tank which happens a lot
My lucky bamboo is sealed with a pebble surface. How and when watter?

Water or dirt which one is. Better. I have had mine for years but now it’s turning yellow
