I recieved a lucky bamboo plant yesterday, I have read up on some information and my current results are as follows; I have 3 stocks in a small pot/vase filled with tiny pebbles in two inches of water with some miracle growth indoor plant formula (yes, I have deluted the formula first), it is also in indirect sunlight. I was wondering if this is all proper technique for maximum growth or if there is more I could possibly do. Also, how much does lucky bamboo typically every day, every week, and every month? Any other information would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you in advance!!!

Please include what kind of pot you are using (does it self drain or not), if you use fertalizer, and how it has mutured since you got it.

I have 2 lucky bamboo plants ( one with 3 stocks and one with 1 stock) and they're very easy to take care of. I have mine in a clear, glass vase (that way you can monitor the water level and look at the roots, but any vase should do). As for watering them, once a week is fine and change out the water in the vase about once a month. They grow very rapidly when you first get them, but over time (about 6 months-year) they start to mellow out and reach an ideal height (mine's about 2-3 ft). But I've kept mine in indirect sunlight most of the time although I do put them around some direct sunlight maybe once a month or so just to stimulate their roots. Overall, it's a very easy plant to grow and honestly you don't need the plant formula unless you just want to speed up its growth rate. Good luck with it!

I got a lucky bamboo plant too the a card came with it that said how to care for it this is what it said:Water it daily and change water once a month.Fertilize your Luck Bamboo every few months with a good diluted Lucky Bamboo, or indoor plant fertilizer.

I heard from the florist that you are not suppose to change water, that's why I just put into new water when it's needed. I started with no leaf and branch, just a plain stick, but now it's has so many branches and leaves, so I think it's working.
