I have two sprigs of lucky bamboo that I really like and want to keep alive for as long as I can. They are growing fine in water but could I plant them/ fertalie them for lasting results? Or will that cause them to rot?

Yes, you can plant your Lucky Bamboo in soil. As a matter of fact, it is not bamboo at all but a plant called Dracaena. If planted correctly your Bamboo will take off and grow like a weed producing new stems and leaves. Just make sure you keep the soil moist, not soggy.

I tried replanting mine, and they did fine for a little while, but eventually just went brown and died. I think the key is to make sure they always have plenty of water and to use the fertiliser specific to lucky bamboo to keep them looking nice.

I have some I've had for years and they are still in water. The florist told me without being in water 24/7 they will die. Best of luck to you.
