Best way to grow lucky bamboo?

Question

water? soil? fertilizer? straight? sun? shade?

Answer 1

It is best to grow it in water which you need to refresh once in awhile. They don't like direct sunlight, so a bright room away from a window is great. Fertilizer shouldn't be necessary. Also, lucky bamboo grows best if you received it as a gift. I hope that is how it happened! Good luck!

Answer 2

The plant is a Dracaenas sanderiana. They are extremely slow growing so they need no direct sunlight.
The plant needs its water changed weekly and it will live happily on old fish tank water, if you keep fish, since this will keep it fed without over doing the fertilizer and is dechlorinated so there is less salt.
Yellow leaves are possible with overfeeding or over exposure to sunlight. If they appear change the water immediately, move the container further from the light, and don’t feed at all for several months.
This plant likes high humidity in the room and nonflouridated water. If you are using tap water try distilled or bottled water. Just add a couple of drops of aquarium plant food to the water you use to refill the plants container. But do not feed every time you change the water. Over feeding is very harmful to plants especially such a slow growing one.

Answer 3

part sun part shade..... not direct light but dont put it in the closet! LOL......many will do well in just water.. but sometimes there is a chemical you have to get... they are vitamins that the plant needs.. it all depends on your water.

Answer 4

Keep in a container. It spreads by sending out runners, and once it gets going in your yard, it's almost impossible to get rid of.

I have several friends who totally regret every putting bamboo in their yards.
