es Johnson My bamboo plant was not doing well in water, hence I moved it to soil base. It performed much better in soil medium. You can check the update video (link provided in pinned comment)
to all the don’t use tap water comments. I’m here to say I’ve been using exactly that for my bamboo for a year now and it’s perfectly healthy. just boil the water and let it sit for awhile before using. I grow mine in a vase of water - just be sure you’re only covering the roots and not filling it up with a ton of water as they don’t take much. & change the water/clean vase (any rocks or pebbles too if you’re using any) every 2 weeks. big key is finding a good spot for them to grow in really
@@meowma201 nope...i use it strrraight feom my tap...i also cut them with dirty blades and feed them bull shit...such as choc milk...WHICH3 THEY FUXKIMG LOVE
@@meowma201 also....the ONLY way to boil all nutrients out is if it is boiled longer than 3 min...just boiling it WILL NOT remove all good....read the rest of whatever book u got that from....
The vase of the plant were too narrow for the roots to grow and it's why it appeared stunted. You should also change the water every 10days. It's how you keep them growing in water
That’s the best way to do your lucky bamboo when it starts looking bad in water. Mine are so tall now I cut off and plant the top by just shoving it down in the dirt. Bamboo likes a lot of water. Also sing to your plant everyday. They like it.
I give mine coffee..with creamer in it...i take it outside and left it there in part aun over summer now drag it in and out daily...ITS HUGE cuz idk how to cut it and green as can be!!
I have like 5 of them in water and one is about 15 years old and is very tall and has new shoots. I have another small one rooting in water I will put that one in soil and see progress.
pinkangelgal2001 me too! I’m a succulent mom I think I’m not giving the succulent enough water I’m going to try soaking it and repotting it in a larger pot
🤔 my plants has been in vase with water and small rocks for 2 years and has grown beautifully in just water. But i really want to move it in soil but scared lol.
I left mine in rocks and i just added water but with rocks only and direct sun light since July 2 it grew 3 new sticks and middle stick grew almost a inch.. get a new one a try don’t mess the old one up
I purchased one of these plants and it was barely around 7 inches tall, now it is about 17 inches in a period of 8 months since i bought it and it is still growing strong. I don't use distilled or Ro water to water it, I only use fish tank water, which is already treated with dechlorinator . You can also just buy the dechlorinator for ponds and treat the water in gallons so you have enough water for your bamboo. I think the reason why most of these turn yellow is if your water has chlorine. Mine hasn''t turned yellow at all, and the secret lies on that i give it indirect sunlight and also that i eliminate all the chlorine contents before watering my plant.
Thank you!!! I have 2. One is straight the other curls. The straight one, I've found a good growing spot for. The other curly one... Idk what type of light it needs. I am going to plant them in soil though. Again, thank you
I keep mines in direct sun light and rocks and got 3 new sticks and my middle stick grew almost a inch since July 2 is that bad they the color of grass
Thank you so much for ur video. I recently received two small bambo plants that r 10 years old and they a so small, whick is why I looked up onfo on bambo plants and I scrolled threw alot of them til I saw urs. I appreciate your advice and knowledge on this plant I am going to do the soil next it's been in water all this time but now I think I want to do the soil what do you think? I really enjoyed the video so thank you Knute' (im female hehe)
what am i doing wrong? i’m using tap water and my braided bamboo that i got from amazon is sitting in a well lit area. i put water and medium sized pebbles to fill the container in. the leaves seem to be dying already.
Amazing tips . Thanks . For many people lucky bamboo is the most used indoor plant. But due to ignorance it's starting to turning yellow. We can prevent it by using fengshuitricks.com/lucky-bamboo-turning-yellow/ lucky bamboo care tips
Hello there any help my lucky bamboo has a lot of mealybug what I do is I wash it one by one in the sink but still the mealybug is still there what to do?
The root tips shouldn't look like that. You aren't to use tap water, better to use filtered water. Mine thrived with filtered water vs. tap. Not sun exposure. We had ours in indirect sun and it still had those tips. I really do think it's the water you use.
I bought a Lucky "heart shaped" Bamboo plant for my girlfriend on Valentine's Day. 💖 When it arrived, it was frozen and 💛 yellow. 😥 I try to get the plant better soil and sunlight. But it seems it is not going to make it. What should I do? It is replanted in soil and rocks, but it is going to die. The stalks are yellow and mushy and it won't grow leaves at all 😥
Since the plant froze it will not live. BUT, You can try to cut all the mushy stems off then wait to see if new ones will grow. I had a plant that I thought was dead I ignored it and new leaves and stems began to grow.
What should I do if my lucky bamboo roots have foul smell...should I try cleaning the roots using cinnamon added water and leave it for 2 hrs and pot to soil like you did?
Update please on the bamboo. I’m getting ready to transfer my 10 year old plant to soil. I should have done that a long time ago. I’m surprised it’s survived this long with just water.
You can use any well draining potting mix. You can add coco coir or perlite in soil to make well drained but which can retain moisture. Hope this helps 😊
Im gonna try using orbeez&water for some fun color&is completely safe to use orbeez. Apparently the spherification done to create the round orbeez is done only using anything but chemicals bad for ones health or even if accidentally ingested by kids(nevermind the food that our FDA ACTUALLY APPROVED to be sold to consumers to eat but yet many of our items on grocers shelves we have been even allowed to eat are actually either banned in some countries because of their carcinogens, or are just overfill with preservatives & artificial colors, &wutnot)....like say, Doritos or even like mentioned previously-Nutella. Bu/ at least Apparently Orbeez just may be a healthier snack for us too and not for things like being just for plants. Dig in!!😋 Or dont. Whichever. But I just figure since they help hold an abundant amount of H2O & Lucky Bamboo evidently thrives just fine in just water, the orbeez may help have the water stick around better&cleaner as opposed to an evaporating cloudy mess developing as easily 🤔🤔🤪and they're available in lots of Purdy colors for maybe using in a clear case to add some vibrance to the home &/or office!!!😎 🧚🏼♀️🦄🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🐈⬛🤍🖤

What do you mean changing water?
@@meyreandreu4468 the water in the jar, you have to pour it out and fill it with a new water every 10 days or weekly
So I don't have to put my bamboo in soil to get it to grow? Just a bigger vase and changing the water?
@@yenfr5306 Yes, and use rain water or RO (reverse osmosis) water.
@@TheNutbrittletap water should be fine
Thank you so much! I knew something wasn't right about keeping it in water for so long.

Thanks for the tip. Will do so with my one plant too. It is growing way too tall 😐
@@SpiceKitchen29 bamboo is my favorite house plant.
@@SpiceKitchen29 Also use rain water or RO (reverse osmosis) water.
Wow thankyou I got your idea, I can do it in my Bamboo trees! Good luck to my plants!❤🌹
Bamboo is a grass...
It's actually the pot size. The old pot was too narrow for the plant to grow root system.
Thank you. I'm using cinnamon and then planting in soil
YOU NEED TO USE PURIFIED WATER NOTHING ELSE !
I used distilled water is that alright?
I give mine coffee..with creamer in it...i take it outside and left it there in part aun over summer now drag it in and out daily...ITS HUGE cuz idk how to cut it and green as can be!!
I have like 5 of them in water and one is about 15 years old and is very tall and has new shoots. I have another small one rooting in water I will put that one in soil and see progress.
I planted in dirt as previously mentioned and she’s doing great. I see new growth on top. So far so good.
What if I have a small lucky bamboo that came with it’s own pot and gravel...should I still put water on it?? And how should I care for it??
I have the same question 😭

Glad to be of help 😊
Love your voice, the information, your wisdom on this. Thank you for sharing with us. ♥
I love how your bamboo is very heldy...😁
🤣🤣
I get it now hahahaha so funny and cute
Could you please suggest what to do with 5 sticks I just got them from ikea Canada
I wanna put a bunch in a future fish aquarium I hope they'll do well
Aquarium water is good for plants as it contains nitrogen from fish waste 😊
Mine grew like crazy, do it. I also save my tank water at change and use it for my plants
@@Slyzxx76 awsome
I agree with you. I think it looks happier now as well. You should do an update video for that plant. I’d love to see it now.
Thank you for stopping by. Here is the link for update video th-cam.com/video/_SYAW1pncKQ/w-d-xo.html
It is better to keep in water or soil?? What brand of soil??
Thank you!!! I have 2. One is straight the other curls. The straight one, I've found a good growing spot for. The other curly one... Idk what type of light it needs. I am going to plant them in soil though. Again, thank you
Thank you I have idea now..
What about rocks? Mine are in small rocks about one centimeter or so in diameter. And I give them fertilized water.
I just love your voice...♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks
I keep mines in direct sun light and rocks and got 3 new sticks and my middle stick grew almost a inch since July 2 is that bad they the color of grass
So the brown tips is from sun exposure and not from the air being dry..?
The tip browning can happen for 2 reasons sun exposure or lack of water. In my case it was sun exposure
It maybe your water is so hard. Try distilled water.
Good video, I think you should untangle the roots
What kind of soil is best for a (dying) bamboo plant
30% standard potting mix and 70% peat moss

just curious.... are u single? u seem like u are a very caring.... beautiful person
@@maciejb8433 hi there. Cute picture u are..
Does the bottom of the pot have a hole for the water to run out ?
Yes it does. A drainage mechanism is very important for growing plants in soil
what am i doing wrong? i’m using tap water and my braided bamboo that i got from amazon is sitting in a well lit area. i put water and medium sized pebbles to fill the container in. the leaves seem to be dying already.
Thanks for the info!
Any time!
my bamboo has been growing ever since I repotted it, but the tips of the leaves are turning yellow. Do I trim those?
That’s what happened to me. I think we should trim them maybe it’s because I need to change the water I’ll just do that
Did the lil brother ever grow?
Yes it did... I will be sharing an update pretty soon
@@SpiceKitchen29 hey any chance you report big brother. Would love to see what it's roots look like
Yes I want to see also!!

This solution will work on Mealybugs as well. th-cam.com/video/obEscZnUg1s/w-d-xo.html
Should lucky bamboo be gifted to u or bought ?
I bought it myself. Why to depend on someone else to bring me luck .. JK 🙂
Spice Kitchen makes sense getting my own today !!
Da li moze prevod na Srpskom hvala
How does it look now?! Update video! :)
Can I put this in my fish tank without gravel ?
Yes you can. Fish tank water is high in nitrogen and will be helpful for your plant
Mam i wil tranfer my lucky bamboo into soil(ceramic pot?). But all pots come with drainage hole.. So it can make my dining muddy??.. Any tips😕
Put a catch tray or catch pot underneath the pot, it won’t let the water spill out
@@SpiceKitchen29 ❤️
The root tips shouldn't look like that. You aren't to use tap water, better to use filtered water. Mine thrived with filtered water vs. tap. Not sun exposure. We had ours in indirect sun and it still had those tips. I really do think it's the water you use.
How often do you water the lucky bamboo?
Good information. But it's unnecessarily lengthy. Long narrative. I watched the same plant up and down thrice.
I watched it on 1.25x speed
Did u say it developed root ball? What is that?
The roots ball up and don't spread out, which causes tangles and restricted water and nutrient access
Thanks for replying
Heldy....
Can you please speak a little bit faster and more actively.
And maybe not like you are talking to a baby or trying to sound like one.....
Your voice is so relaxing :)

I’ve heard that cinnamon is anti fungal.
I bought a Lucky "heart shaped" Bamboo plant for my girlfriend on Valentine's Day. 💖
When it arrived, it was frozen and 💛 yellow. 😥
I try to get the plant better soil and sunlight. But it seems it is not going to make it.

Wash the roots with clean distilled water properly. Keep it soaked in cinnamon water for 2 hours and then re pot it
Can I just put cinnamon and honey on the bowl where my bamboo is placed for a week
Your voice make. E sleep
Consider yourself lucky😭
Update please on the bamboo. I’m getting ready to transfer my 10 year old plant to soil. I should have done that a long time ago. I’m surprised it’s survived this long with just water.
Coming up soon
What about rocks? Does it need rocks?
If you are putting it in soil, then it does not need rocks
What soil can i use in lucky bamboo
You can use any well draining potting mix. You can add coco coir or perlite in soil to make well drained but which can retain moisture. Hope this helps 😊
@@SpiceKitchen29 can i use loam soil also
The leaf tips are discolored from watering, too much/too little
They can live in water permanently
@@Doitallgp they can indeed, but wet soil is a breeding ground for fungus
What is the benefit of the cinnamon?
Cinnamon acts as a rooting booster as well as helps in removing any foul smelling slime getting on the root of your bamboo
@@SpiceKitchen29 Thank you. I very definitely try this.
Update?
