Lucky Bamboo
Dracaena sanderiana, bedre kendt som Lucky Bamboo er ikke en bambus, men tilhører lilje familien. Den vokser under dårlige lysforhold i regnskoven baldakinen i Sydøstasien, som gør det til et ideelt anlæg til kontor eller værelse med lidt sol. Det anvendes i Feng Shui-systemet som grøn er en heldig farve tiltrækker positiv chi. Lucky bambus er givet ved særlige lejligheder såsom nytår.
Care: Lucky bambus behøver ikke megen pleje og bør dyrkes i skygge / ingen direkte sol ved temperaturer mellem 60-80F. Den vokser godt i fluorescerende lys. Holde anlægget i mindst 2 inches af vand og skifte vand hver uge. Brug flaske foråret (ikke destilleret) eller regnvand. Postevand kan have for mange kemiske stoffer (salte, klor og fluor), som kan føre til gulfarvning stængel og en eventuel langsom død.
Feed kun når bladene tænde en lys farve og bruge fisk emulsion eller en organisk gødning. Hold planten væk fra opvarmning ventilationskanaler og klimaanlæg.
Fejlfinding
Brown tips 1. for meget gødning eller andre kemikalier såsom fluorid i vandet 2. lav fugtighed
Gule blade: 1. for meget direkte sol 2. vanding med vand fra hanen, der er blødgjort eller fluor.
Gjord på bladene - angiver spider mider. Vask bladene kan hjælpe med at kontrollere problemet.

Alger på sten
Jeg er heldig bambus i en vase med tan sten. Stenene bliver grøn, mildewy søger. Er der noget, der kan føjes til vandet for at slippe af med dette, har jeg haft denne plante i 5 år nu, og dont wanna nødt til at tage den ud af vasen. Tak
Rotten svovl lugt
Mine bambus planter er meget ildelugtende. Der er et råddent svovl-lignende lugt kommer fra rødderne, som ikke går væk, selv om jeg skifter vandet hver par dage. Jeg har prøvet at skylle rødder, men det hjælper ikke. Kan jeg skære enderne ud til at tillade nye rødder at vokse, eller hvad kan jeg gøre for at løse dette stinkende problem. Tak.

Root farve
Hej .... Jeg har en heldig bambus, som jeg lige har taget ud af sin oprindelige pot ... Jeg har haft det i to år og var ikke klar over, at vandet skal skiftes hver måned, eller at bruge vand fra hanen var slemt. En af de stilke havde aldrig haft blade, og det var blevet sorte, så jeg fjernede det og transplanteres den heldige bambus til en anden beholder. Jeg bemærkede, at rødderne er lyse orange, er det normalt? Eller hvad farve skal de være?
Gule blade

Genplantning heldig bambus
Hej, jeg har et spørgsmål. Jeg har haft min bambus anlægget i 10 måneder, og hun er stadig smuk sundt. Hun er nu voksende baby skyder på selve bunden af hendes stilk, lige i det samme område som hendes rødder. Jeg vil gerne beholde dem vokser, men den beholder jeg hende i (en Arizona Tea flaske) er ved at blive for lille, så barnet skyder i øjeblikket vokser horisontalt. Er det ok for skud til at være voksende, at lave om hendes stilk? Jeg har givet hende en masse vand, og jeg er bange for, at de ikke kan bryde overfladen. Jeg vil også gerne sætte hende i en større potte eller container, men jeg er ikke sikker på, hvad de skal bruge. Jeg vil ikke have hende i jorden. Har du råd og / eller forslag? Desuden har hun for nylig været stigende nye, forskellige rødder. De er meget små, grønne, og hooked som små kløer. Betyder det, hun ønsker at blive plantet i jorden? Please help! Tak.
BROWN Bladflige, hvide skorpe, YELLOW stilke ...
OK, så vi har denne plante på vores kontor, at jeg tager sig af. Jeg temp her, og anlægget har været her i 2 år, nu er jeg her bladene er brune i enderne, ser svage, og nogle af bladene bliver gule. Jeg vanding det for meget? Det er i en beholder med kun vand og småsten. Jeg hørte ikke at give det vand fra hanen, så jeg har vasket ud i vandet og lagt i vand på flaske et par dage siden, da jeg gjorde det, Jeg har bemærket er der en salt ser skorpe på bottome af stilke i nærheden af vandet, som vil smuldre fra, hvis du rører ved det. OGSÅ de gav det vand fra hanen i 2 år, og aldrig haft et problem med det, så tror du, at jeg netop var at give den for meget vand? Jeg var fylde vand til toppen af containter som gør nogle af de emersed stilk .... Please hjælp, hvis denne plante dør jeg vil have det så dårligt!
TRIMMING ROOTS
Jeg plante sidder en bambus plante, der er i en glasbeholder med vand alene. Rødderne er meget tyk og halvvejs op den beholder, der er omkring 18 "høj. Jeg har aldrig haft en bambus plante, men nu er jeg opmærksom på, hvordan de skal se ud. Dem, jeg har set er meget rene leder i containeren - ikke fyldt med stringy rødder. Skulle disse stå alene eller trimmet? Tak.

Antallet af stilke
Jeg har en heldig bambus med 17 stem, kan du fortælle mig, hvad hans symboliserer.
Tak,

Jeg fik en heldig bambus plante omkring et år siden som en gave. Den brugte ca 8 måneder hjemme vokser nye skud og blade. Når jeg bragte det på mit kollegieværelse bladene fortsætter med at vokse, anlægget så stor. Så skal jeg bare bragte det hjem til vinterpausen og anlægget hasn't gjort det så godt. Blade begyndte at dreje brune og gule, andre blade begyndte at udvikle disse pletter på dem, som dør til sidst i bladet. Så en af de stilke begyndte at dreje gul. Jeg skæres alle de dårlige blade, og afbrød den gule del af stokken, og så tænker måske mit anlæg var for stor jeg sætte det i et større vase. I den proces, jeg skyllet en masse, som gelé ting, du har talt om i tidligere kommentarer. Min plante voksede godt for et år med vand fra hanen, men jeg har skiftet til flaskevand tænkning vand fra hanen kan være problemet. Efter to ugers de gule blade og pletter er stadig vises. Hvad er der galt med min plante? Det så ud til store og frodige, og nu ser det ud alle mager fra alle de plukkede blade. Hvordan har mit anlæg gå fra så god, at så slemt? Please help!
hvis selve toppen af anlægget (hvor voksen er) er tørret ud, er der nogen måde at redde resten af anlægget fra Browning og udtørring. For eksempel, hvis jeg skære det tørre afsnittet ud og re-forsegle det med voks. Jeg har set en masse forklaringer på, hvorfor en plante brune, men jeg er endnu ikke at finde en løsning. Tak, Kat
Lucky bambus m / fisk
Jeg kan give min plante for meget vand, jeg kan ikke forestille mig, at få for meget lys som solen aldrig skinner gennem mit vindue. Det kan også være det vand jeg bruger, jeg læste de dont like vand direkte fra vandhanen. Stænglerne synes at være sund, selv om man begyndte at dreje gul øverst. Jeg skar den gule del ud, og nu stilken synes at være at gøre okay. Jeg havent befrugtede det endnu, men jeg kan prøve, at hvis det gør ikke synes at være at få noget bedre. Jeg havde også et andet spørgsmål selv. Jeg ved heldig bambus er en åkande relativ så det er okay, der bor i bare vand og småsten. Men er denne plante giftige for fisk? Ive læse, at det er, men ive også set beretninger og billeder, hvor fisk synes at være okay. Grunden til at jeg spørger, er jeg så en person med en heldig bambus i en fisk skål og en betta svømme omkring det, og det var meget cool at se så id elsker at prøve det. Men hvis dens skadelige for fisk, jeg dont ville gerne. Dette er et billede af skålen: http://www.ratemyfishtank.com/enlarge.php/897
Nogle steder siger, at de har gjort det, og der fisk er okay, andre siger, at rødderne vil forgifte fisk. Jeg tror, at fisk og planter vil fungere godt sammen, fiskeaffald gøde planten naturligt, og anlægget giver fisken en naturtype, men thats kun hvis det gør ikke dræbe fisk
Hej, jeg har en heldig bambus, der blev givet til mig omkring 2 uger siden. Det var sundt, grønt og ingen problemer. Jeg har ændret det er vand i går ved hjælp af vand fra hanen og i dag vil jeg bemærke en af bladet er en yellowy grønt, så det er dybest set i midten af drejning gul og bliver grøn. Det er ikke helt gul. Jeg har læst, at det skyldes at bruge vand fra hanen og direkte sollys, hvilket er, hvad jeg udsat det i. Jeg har lige lagt den væk fra kommoden og på min night stand, og skiftet vand til en renset vand. Så mit spørgsmål er, skal jeg til at afskære, at blad, som er midt i at dreje gule eller skal jeg lade det være og det vil inddrive på sine egne?
Sorte pletter på stilke
Jeg lagde mærke til nogle små sorte pletter på stilke af mine Lucky bambus. Det ligner en form for svamp / mug. Er der noget jeg kan gøre for at afhjælpe dette?
Jerry (ursahoribl@cox.net /)
Min kones bambus er ved at udvikle brune rusten ser pletter på basis af bladene og et par sorte pletter på stilke. Spanskrøret også har en mørk plet på størrelse med en krone. Årsag til bekymring? Hvad kan der gøres ved det?
Hvor skal jeg holde den heldige bambus i mit hus (jeg mener som hjørne af huset, og hvilket værelse)?
Hej
Jeg har 2 bambusskud dyrkes i et glas vase med nogle stykker marmor og vand. Stilkene er krøllet på toppen og sidst jeg har bemærket, at de højt buede områder bliver blegere end de sædvanlige green.Would dette betragtes som gule stilke? Jeg plejer at holde den inden døre, men med et par dage, jeg bringe det tæt på en vindue, men ikke i direkte lys. Jeg har hørt, at marmor stykker er lavet af calciumcarbonat. Kunne det være giftige for planter, hvis den er tilgængelig i vandet?
Kan jeg koge vand, i stedet for at gå ud at købe destilleret vand og er fisk poop mad godt for anlægget?
Spider mider
Vi har en 3 fod heldig bambus, dens meget store. Jeg indser, at der er mange spider mider. Dens creepy.Can du fortælle os, hvad skal vi gøre, og hvordan kan vi forhindre det?
Sorte pletter
hej, jeg tænkte, om du vidste, hvorfor jeg har sort spotts på min bambus? Jeg kan ikke finde ud af, hvad det er, men det er helt nyt bambus og jeg ved ikke, om den sorte spotts vil dræbe det.
PLEASE HJÆLP MIG!
Vokse i jord eller vand
Kan Lucky Bamboo dyrkes i snavs eller skal det være i vandet? Jeg købte er fra butikken potteplanter i ca en 14 cm dyb gryde, der er 4 inches i diameter. Jeg har 10 stilke i denne sat som alle er pæn og grøn og 1-3 høj. Ligeledes vil du anbefale at fjerne de blade, der danner på det første og andet led på toppen af hver stængel?
Jeg ønsker at genplante mig heldig bambus i vand og hav glas. Er det okay at gøre det?
Root spørgsmål:
Baggrund - Jeg har haft mine LB omkring 4 år. Den er vokset flere meter i højden, har jeg skåret nogle afsnit, der så værre og ny vækst kom ud i siderne. Det har sendt nye stængler op fra roden base, som er vokset godt. Jeg plejede at bruge et par dråber af Schultz 2-7-7 Cactus Plus ca 1X per måned.
Nu er spørgsmålet: Mit rodklump er toppet med grønne fjer gerne vækst (ganske lidt af det). Det ligner en vand-anlæg - det er ikke slimede, men mere grønne. Jeg har aldrig set dette på nogen LB billede og er nysgerrig, hvis det er fælles. Jeg ville være glad for at skrive / e-mail et foto. Tak
HI Bill
Interessante, har jeg ikke hørt om denne form for vækst mønster. Måske rødderne udsender flere nye blade, ligesom stilke det sendt ud fra roden base.
Håber du kan hjælpe med mig heldig bambus plante! Min svigermor gav det til mig, og det så fantastisk for omkring 9 mos. Vi ændrede vandet omkring hver tredje uge, og det var stadig som en sindssyg. Så stor!
Når sommeren kom, vendte vi om vores fordampningsemissioner køler (undertiden kaldet en sump køligere). Lidt ligesom et klimaanlæg, men det køler luften med vand og blæser den afkølede luft ind i huset gennem en ventil. Ventilen er i samme rum som den heldige bambus plante. Anyway efter cirka en måned eller deromkring, vendte bladene gule. Vi forsøgte at flytte det til et andet værelse, men det hjalp ikke. Vi troede, at måske var der for meget fugt i luften fra sumpen køligere. Men nu har mistanke om, at tilsætning af blegemiddel til vandet et par gange i løbet af sommeren (hvis vandet står i køler til kappe dag, det kan få mildewy og stinkende) kan have påvirket plante.
Anyway, vi besluttet at afskære alle de blade på stilken med skarp saks, at tro, at nye blade vil vokse i lighed med, når du beskære andre planter og buske. Men det har været næsten en måned, og der er ingen tegn på ny vækst. De områder, hvor vi har skåret hærdede over, svarende til toppen af hver stængel.
Stilkene er stadig temmelig grøn og vi har fortsat med at skifte vand og skyl rødderne.
Er der noget vi skal gøre for at fremme nye blad vækst?
Jeg tror, jeg har rod rådne på min nyerhvervede fabrik. Historien går på, at jeg købte en skyde på messen uden container. Så jeg udtrykte det i et glas vand (måske for meget), og overladt det til en uge. Så flyttede jeg den til en anden container med mindre vand og nu omkring en 1 / 8 i bunden af anlægget er sort, og det er begyndt at komme ind i rødderne. The Pælerod er over node (den hvide, nu sort, ring), som jeg synes er en god ting, da denne del er grøn. Og resten af det grønne som godt. Jeg har brug for en forklaring på dette spørgsmål. Kan jeg klippe tænderne ud sammen med de berørte rødder? Vil mere rødder vokse? Eller er det håbløst? Jeg har brug for at vide ASAP! Også .. hvordan du opretter en drænsystem for disse planter, hvis de ikke kan være nedsænket i vand?
Jeg købte min heldig bambus fra en kinesisk kvinde på en asiatisk festival omkring 3 eller 4 måneder siden. Jeg bor i Chicago. Det kom i en lerkrukke med sten. Jeg holder det på min vindueskarm, der får nogle filtreret direkte lys for et par timer, og vand det med vand fra hanen. Det er mere end fordoblet i den størrelse og er grøn og sund. Jeg vil gerne vide, hvornår jeg skal genplante det i en ny potte, da det er så sundt, men vokser hurtigt. Jeg købte en ny potte, der er omkring 2 eller 3 inches større og jeg har sten til at sætte ino det, men jeg er ikke sikker på jeg må genplante nu eller vente på en ændring i anlægget for at genplante. Også en florest fortalte mig, at genplantning alle planter, der kan være traumatisk. Any ideas?
Mel fra Chicago: Da mit anlæg klarer sig godt i vandet med klipper, jeg ønsker at fortsætte med det, men skal jeg vente eller er det ok at gøre det nu. By the way tak for alle jeres viden. Dette anlæg er det første levende planter jeg har haft i mere end 2 måneder, at jeg ikke dræbe
Hej-Jeg har brug for hjælp! Jeg bor væk fra hjemmet, og da mine forældre var på besøg, min mor købte en bambus plante og gav det til mig! Det er i en lille keramik krukke, der er dekoreret med en lille kinesisk fisker på det. Jeg har taget meget godt vare på det, og det er vokset høj sund baby stilke fra sine rødder. Men jeg ser stenene synker efter et stykke tid! Kan jeg tilføje mere, eller skal jeg repot? Jeg ønsker at beholde den samme beholder, så hvis jeg rense det ud, hvordan gør jeg det uden at bryde eller fare for stilke?!?! Jeg kender en stilk kan blive smidt ud, det kom brun brun og døde. Please help! Jeg er bange for at fjerne den af frygt jeg vil skade det!
Jeg har et spørgsmål. Jeg har haft en heldig bambus til 2 måneder, jeg tror han er blevet lidt for stor til containeren, er de rødder begynder at holde op af småsten og nogle er begyndt at holde op mod ruden ... betyder det så, at jeg har brug for at få ham en større container? tak
Hej, glas vase, at min lykke bambus er i har dårligt vand pletter lige over vandoverfladen, hvor dets fordampet. Jeg ønsker at vaske dem væk med eddike, men ved ikke om dets skadelige for planter, eller hvis jeg bare skulle flytte fabrikken til nye vase. Også, jeg har læst i de andre posteringer, at der kun skal være 2 inches vand omkring rødderne, jeg har mere end det, og jeg har en ny skyde voksende fra stænglerne af den oprindelige, der er helt nedsænket i vand, bør Jeg dræne vandet, så bladene ikke er nedsænket, eller vente, til de bliver højere end det på egen hånd?
Hvordan slipper jeg af den hårde, hvide, skorpede stof, der udgør omkring stilke af mine Lucky Bamboo plante? Jeg har aldrig givet den vand fra hanen, og mener, at det kan være en svamp.
I was wondering If i could send someone a picture and they could maybe circle on paint where I have to cut the plant, becuase im very new to plants and i have no idea what im doing, my friend gave it to me since shes moving and it has a bacteria infection (like a white and grey coloring on top of the soil) and is it better for soil or water for the lucky bamboo?
I have just recently purchased 5 stalks of lucky bamboo and had a question about creating new buds on the stalks. From all the pictures i have seen and the way mine are growing, each stalk has only 1 bud coming off of it that is growing leaves. Is there a way you can start new buds on a stalk so there can be more than 1 spot on a stalk that will sprout leaves off of it. Tak
You stated above that you shouldn't use distilled water. I have been on many other websites that require distilled water for this plant, and not spring water. So I went out and bought a gallon. Why is it different on your page? I'm worried now, because one of the stalks is completely yellow, with one little green leaf. Am I able to remove the stalk from the other two so they don't get infected?
I cut my lucky bamboo as described, below a ring, because the leaves were very discoloured. I moved it so a better location and cut the section with discoloured leaves off and discarded it leaving only stalk. This was about 2 months ago but I haven't seen any new leaf shoots yet. Is there something else I should be doing.
I got three lucky bamboo plants a few years back and so far, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them that I can see, feel, or smell. But recently I moved into a home where people smoke cigarettes indoors all day long. Is this going to have a negative effect on my plants?
Hey, i just bought a bamboo stalk from a store. I have it in a glass jar with those glass rock things from craft stores. It's very long and has a big healthy leaf shoot.
The only issue is that it and it's fellow bamboo stalks all had brownish/orangy roots. Is that what they look like naturally and will this go away with proper care?
I've had lucky bamboo for a few years now, without any problems. I was tickled when one of my pair grew a new sprout after a cat knocked it completely off of the ledge and the stem broke.
My problem is with my other stalk – I had it on another ledge by itself, and yes, a cat decided that it wanted to “share space” and knocked it over, but not down. I rescued it and refilled the water, leaving it by my other plants (and other stalk) by my sink.
Soon after, the top leaves browned, as did the stem, about a quarter of the way down the stem. It is not all the way around, as the browning was interrupted at the other leaf node. The brown area is squishy and recently became afflicted with brown specks.
I've recently cleaned the container and changed out the water, using filtered water instead of from the tap like I had been. The browning stopped spreading but shows no sign of repairing itself. Will it ever? Our water is extremely hard, but it has not appeared to affect any of my other plants, nor the other lucky bamboo stalk.
Will patience be my best virtue here? If not, is it possible to salvage the living leaf shoot? There is disease above and below it, and would require cutting on an angle, instead of straight across.
i have a lucky bamboo plant with 4 tier arrangement….i got it 2 months back….iam not able to see any growth in them till now???whats the reason???

I just pruchased a Lucky Bamboo in a nice 4″ x 4″ wide vase with little stones on the top. I got it 6 days agoand today when I watered it the water just sits on top of the stones and dosen't drain down into the vase. Is this normal? Will the water drain down? I stuck my finger in into the stones and they go down pretty deep. How long before the water drains?
Tak
Jose

I received a Lucky bamboo about 2yrs ago, in a 2″x2″ glass container. It seems to have gel in the bottom 1/2″ & then some black stone-like filler, topped by blue chalk-like pebbles. It has grown a healthy foot tall,the leaves are long, about 3″ & quite thin. I watered it (boiled water left over 2days) whenever it was down an inch or so. This is the 1st time I have read any comments for bamboo care & I noticed you advise changing the water- which I have not done at all! I definitely do not like the green algae on the bottom & am wondering if I can replace all those layers with a few decoratives marbles / stones? Should I also move into a bigger vase, leaving roots intact if there are none dead or mushy? How many years do these generally live?
PLANT IN SOIL
PLEASE HELP I NEED TO REPLANT MY LUCKY BAMBOO IN SOIL HOW DO I DO THIS
Hi, I've had a bamboo for a year and a half and it's grown a ton and started another shoot. I regularly change the water and wash off the rocks that keep it secured and about a month ago I switched it into a bigger vase since it's so much taller. I just left for 8 days on spring break and when I came back some of the leaves have yellowed and there was a slimy black fungus growing on top of the rocks. It smelled like a mixture of dirt and crap (literally) and I almost puked it because it was so overwhelming. Any ideas of what caused it and how to get rid of it?
hi…i want my bamboo to grow fast…i bought it six months ago but iam not able to see gud growth…what shud be done to the bamboo to grow fast…..u were saying about aspirin in ur last post….how can aspirin help bamboo
I have had my lucky bamboo plant for 4 years and now it has just overgrown with leaves and the stalks are thick. I do see where the tap water has made the leaves yellow but the stalks are ah,ealthy green. My question is a weird one: what do I do when I attempt to replant it and I discover they will not come out of the vase?! The roots have taken over and I cannot get them out at all. Should I break the vase?
Hey, Wow… I couldn't be more thankful for all this awesome information provided for everyone. I have 5 Lucky Bamboos downstairs in my room. It's quite cool, and I have quite a small window, so theyre getting their fair share amount of light. The water, as you said no too much and changed every bit. But everytime I seem to buy new lucky bamboo's and add it to the vase, they either die, or the ones I had before die. Why is that? Do I need to seperate them for a bit before and then add them to the tank?
Thanks =)
hey, i just got a lucky bamboo and it has like dried white substance on it. is this good or bad? how can i get rid of it if its bad?
Hi, I've just read about the Yellowing of stalks and when are like this they are dead. But how about if the end of a stalk is just started to turn Yellow? Can it be saved? Should I cut off the Yellow end?
Hej,
2 stalks from my bamboo plant turned yellow , I removed it. Now my qus. is wheather the bamboo plant will be still lucky or do i need to change and buy new one?
I changed by bamboo plants in the past as well.
Please help on this.
hi…the leaves of my bamboo plant are turning into yellow colour…how can i save them…im not able to find out the reason…what care shud be taken in summer for lucky bamboo???
The leaves of my year old bamboo plant look nice and green, but the stalks have turned yellow. I suppose I have to cut off the yellow part, but the yellow goes half way up a curled stalk. Can I salvage the curled stalk? Also, how does one make a stalk “curl?
which ferilizer shud i use???
hej. um out of the 12 Lucky Bamboo stalks that we have, 3 of them had a bunch of tiny black dots and i think it was the fungal/bacteria that was mentioned a few times before so i removed them…but then what do i do? We plant the bamboo in soil.
Hi there, I need some help with my lucky bamboo!!
It is sitting in water with rocks and I always sit my water out 24 hours or longer before changing it.
I am noticing the stalks starting to shrivel at the top, however they are still nice and solid looking at the bottom. Hvad er årsagen til dette? How can I fix it before it starts to shrivel more and turn yellow.
Please advise.
Tak,
Natalie
Hej,
I was reading the questions others posted and your response. They were all very helpful but I have a question that I don't see listed above. Even though I am thinking of switching from water to soil, that's not a major concern for me. I've had my plant for more than 3 years, given to me on Valentine's Day by my husband, the plant is gorgeous and has been thriving in water all this time. My question is this. It is currently in the same vase it was in 3 years ago. I read from earlier postings that the new container should be no more than 1-2 inches larger than the current one. So since my container is tall and the plant has grown “up”, does that mean I can't put it in a wide container? Do I need to find a another vase but only taller? I want my plant to grow “out” now. Can I repot it in a regular “round” pot now and should be the pot be fairly large or is a small one ok?
Hej,
Just a question from my grandmother, she has had her lucky bamboo for about 3 yrs its grown really tall almost hitting the roof in her house, she would like to know if you can trim the stems down and will it still grow back???
Hi i have just bought a nice 2 meter tall lucky bamboo from a friend, the plant leaves were nice & erect at my frinds place but as soon as i shifted them to my place i have noticed the leaves starting to become weak & are hanging down like there's no life in them.
does the plant need more light, or do i just need to water them as the soil is somewhat still wet.
I have had a lucky bamboo growing in the same vase of water and rocks for 9 years. I had to trim it once, the piece i cut off died in a glass of water after a couple months. It needs trimming again, and I was wondering what the best idea would be to do with the 2 ft piece i cut off so it doesnt die. Also, I was wondering if I should leave the rest of the original in the vase. The vase hasnt been cleaned in the 9 yrs, but the plant still seems healthy.
Are you trimming the leaf shoot or the stalk?
I need to cut one of the stalks off , its way too tall and leans badly, needs a new vase. I don't trim the leaves very often, unless discolored. Where should I cut the long stalk off, and should I put some rocks in the bottom of the new vase before putting it in there?
Can you tell me if Lucky Bamboo is poisonous to cats? If it is what is the toxicity of it?
Tak!
I've noticed small black spots on the stem of one of my lucky bamboo stalks. I skimmed through the comments left here, but the replies for when other people ask similar questions seem to be about mold or fungus. I'm almost definitely sure that this is no type of mold or fungus, since it hasn't spread onto the other two lucky bamboo stalks right next to it, nor does it look like a mold or fungus that you would see on a plant. It may be bacterial, but the rate of spread seems far too slow to be something like that (there is noticeable change only if you look at it in one month intervals). The new shoots are all fine, and the plant and roots look healthy overall, but the black spots still seem slightly awkward. I've been changing the water every other week, and I've changed containers several times since I've seen these spots, but nothing seems to make it improve.
Also, on another plant, I noticed that there are heavy lines forming on one of the older shoots… It's barely over two inches tall now, and it seemed fine, until about a week ago. I think the closest thing I can think of that has a similar texture would be the leaves of a leek. This condition exists on only one shoot from the plant, and all the other shoots and all other plants do not have this condition.
Any tips?
Reading all the comments, questions, and responses were helpful and informative, but I still have a question. Can you have lucky bamboo in too much water? I recently chnaged out the vase because my 3 stalks were too tall. They are currently in a tall, wide vase with just a few rocks and mostly water. I now know that the tap water is turning the leaves yellow and I will take care of that, but can they have too much water? Do they prefer to have their roots crowded?
I just purchased a one stem curly bamboo located in a long tall vase in my office. The previous plant I had died. Apparently, there was no room for the roots to grow inbetween the rocks. My question is how do I keep the plant standing in the water if I can't use the rocks for stability?
hi, i've had my lucky bamboo for abour 4 years now ans it been through a few rough times, but it been growing well, it now 1.2 meters high with 4 new branche comming of them, i'vve alway kept it in soin and watered it with tap water untill a few weeks ago when some white crystal/powder substance becan forming on the leaves ( not the stalks) i've wiped the stuff off and watered my plant with tap water left out in the sun for several days but the stuff keeps forming on the leaves ( which are now turning yellow/brown and dying)
please help me, i dont know whats wrong and how to fix it
Hej,
I've had my LB plant for well over a year now and she has grown several stalks that are about a foot tall now on the main stalks. I've worked with spider plants and I was curious if I do the same with these extra stalks I want to replant. Do I cut them off, or tear them off and place them in a cup of water till they grow roots and then replant them? OR is it safe to take them off and just replant them in water. I don't want to do soil if at all possible. The water and stones seem to be doing just fine for the mother plant.
hello!~
i've had my bamboo plant in the glass vase and stone since i bought it over a yr ago.
i would like to replant it in a larger container. may i just remove it from the old container and replant it in another larger glass container with stones.
eller
has it been in water too long and needs soil??
it is very happy right now, i thought maybe it could use some room to grow
thank you for your time!~
Yellow stalk
Hej,
I bought a lucky bamboo and have had it for about 3 weeks and I have changed the water once. After changing the water, the middle began to turn yellow and shrivel up. What caused this? and can it be saved or should I cut it and try to let the top grow roots?
Can used tea leaves act as a fertiliser for LB like they do for some other indoor plants?
Black spots on stalk
A lady here at work has a “lucky” bamboo that is not so lucky, I am trying to help save it. However I am afraid it is not going to make it. There are brownish/black spots all along the 3 stalks which are dry and brittle, two weeks ago they were very soggy… there was an awful smell coming from it 2 weeks ago which has since kinda disappeared… I pulled what I could of the dead leaves off…However there are 2 healthy very petite green leaves coming from the top. It is here in our office and 4 days out of the week when I am here at work I keep it under my light at my desk for about 10 hours. But the rocks in the container do have the residue mentioned in above inquiries, from the tap water issues. Is this plant beyond repair or can it be salvaged? Tak ...
I have a 3 Lucky Bamboo plants(2 are in the process of growing stalks because i had to cut them off from the dieing mother plant) how should i care for them. right now the are trying to grow roots in water with root hormone. and could you explain the anatomy of the lb because now i am confused.
Hi Leoncio
Are you rooting he stalks or the leafy shoots from the stalks?
One stalk has tiny black spots but doesn't spread. it doesn't seem to have bacterial\fungal problems and is only found in the middle of the stalk. I changed it to another separate clean container with root hormone(to get it to grow more roots)and the spots are still there. what should I do?!
Hej,
I got a lucky bamboo plant two years ago at a large retail store (like Walmart) and have have been reading stuff about lucky bamboo care that really has me confused. The plant stocks (only two) are about 10 inches long with nice healthy leafs shooting off of them. The pot it's in is 3 inches in width and five in length. Is is planted in stones with water. But here is the weird part – I have never changed its water. I've had to top up the water once and awhile due to evaporation and plant growth but I've never changed it (drained out the water and filled it up again, or disrupt the stones). I didn't think you were suppose to. There is absolutely no sulphur of icky smell coming from the water. There is hardly a smell at all unless you think wet rocks smell. Is this not possible? Do I have some kind of magical plant that doesn't let water go stagnant? Anyway I have become quite fond of this plant because it's been around so long and want to do what is right for it but my thinking is, why change a good thing? What are your thoughts on this?
Tak
I received a lucky bamboo for New Year and as a Valentine's Day gift. The bamboo is bent and grown in the shape of hearts. A portion of the stem (the end which as a few leaves) has turned yellow and soft but only about 1 inch. Can one salvage the rest of the stem since only a small portion of it is soft/yellow?
Thank you so much for this blog! I spent about 30 minutes reading the various posts and answers before deciding that I should just post my own question, as I was really not having the same problems as everyone else.
Then, lo and behold I come to Katie's post on Feb 8 and there is my exact situation! I too purchased my lucky bamboo well over a year ago from Walgreens and have been completely happy with it. I found this site by searching out how to re-plant it in a bigger pot(assuming I should do so). The plant is so beautiful, in a 3″ diameter, 5 1/2″ high round ceramic container with rocks in the bottom. About 6 to 8″ of stalk is above the container lip, and I too have never changed or drained the water, have always used tap water with Schultz 10-15-10 plant food from spring through fall, filling the vase to the top with water, and exposed it to sunlight everyday (by opening the vertical blinds). I did notice the roots have crawled up the insides of the vase, and they are orange.
The only reason I was thinking I should re-plant it is because it is getting so tall! The leaves are probably 2 to 2 1/1 ft tall. Otherwise the plant is super healthy although I think it may be pot bound by the roots now and I really don't want to upset it.
Looking at the answer given to Katie, it seems I should follow that same advice and leave well enough alone…except I still wonder is there any reason to change the pot? Tak!
