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
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.
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 😊
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.
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
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 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.
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?
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 ?
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.
People in here are funny,you really think nursery’s go out and buy purified water and use rainwater? 😂 ever stop to think it’s something your doing wrong? 🙄I have bamboo,poneytail palms,money trees ,and a couple of bela palms ! Funny I use tap water and my plants are thriving! Not everyone who has plants are able to afford purified water or have a option to collect rain water! Oh yeah and out here in California,there’s a serious drought going on! We’re lucky to get a inch of rain ! Not one of the plant stores around me use purified water or rain water in any of there stores and they have beautiful healthy plants ! Oh and I also have purple clovers that are thriving! Had them over 4 years now
It's common knowledge that tap water is bad. Just because it's worked for you doesn't mean it's the right thing to do generally. Sorry you can't comprehend that judgemental Karen 🙄
Ever stop to think that every municipality has different tap water? Likewise, many people's "tap" water is from a well! Well water is great for plants. Chlorine, Flouride, etc are not! Each area has different levels of each. Condescending much?
P.S. How hard is it to sit an empty drink container out the window for some rain water? How hard is it to dechlorinate our city tap water by sitting out, uncapped for 24 hours? It's not.
Hi Vickie ! Just wanted to throw out there that there are different levels of chemicals in tap water sources all around our cities and states. So it's great that your tap doesn't effect your plants negatively! Unfortunately some regions have pretty toxic levels of different types of chemicals, so for some, finding a way to get clean water for themselves and their plants may be something they look into.
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.
Thank you for very useful information. That's amazing that you have 20 years old bamboo :)

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 😊
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!
When lucky bamboo grows in water, use only rain water or RO (reverse osmosis) water.
Why it goes spiral on the top can we grow them to remain upright as they grow ?
Cheers from Canada!

Thankyou for showing or sharing how to care of the lucky bamboo 🖐☝🙏💤💥⭐💫atsuuup 👍
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?
At night time should I put them under a light bulb or leave it in the dark?
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.
Thank you for very nice suggestion 😃
I would like to learn about lucky bamboo please
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?
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?
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.

Our plants deserve this water just as much as we do ❤ No chemicals for them
agree :)
You are luminous.
Thank you very much for the well explained video with high quality images :)
Hope you found something useful out of my video 😍😀
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 purchased 10 bamboo that are about 3-4 feet tall. Can I place all of them in the same large container?
Awesome dear
How often should I water in soil? Good video!
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
Nice video..make it short next time ❤️✨
I have a question my leaf is growing another plant is that norm
What kind of soil do you grow lucky bamboo in? I have petmos and land soil.
How about fertiliser?
What type and how often?
I give fertiliser once in 2 months or 3 months 😍😀
Can I show you a picture of what I did ?
Hello, what type and brand of soil do you use?
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.
What kind of soil do you use?
I use normal potting soil 😃😍

I just use normal planting soil. 😀
😊
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆😁
Imma use the water from the river behind my house
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️♥️
Please make a propagation video
Yes, i will definitely do it in the spring, please wait just two more month 😊😉
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.
