Any special care for one of those $10 "Good Luck" bamboo house plants?

I recently bought a good female friend of mine one of those %26quot;Good Luck%26quot; bamboo plants that you can pick up at any local drug store. She really appreciated it and has it on her desk at work. Outside of adding water periodically, is there anything else we could do to help it grow quicker and/or stronger? As it grows will we have to transfer it to a larger base? Nothing special but it was a special gift from the heart so any help would be appreciated.

Tips:


1. Never put it in direct sunlight.


2. Use de-stilled water, tap water can have too high of a fluoride level.





Lucky Bamboo only live for around 3 years and grow very slowly. You really can%26#039;t speed up the growth but adding a sprinkle of rich potting soil helps. The rooting system is not large enough to require a larger base, but you may want a larger container as it gets taller. You can cut the stalks and make unlimited clones, with the help of a rooting agent.

Reply:I received one of them and it still looks great 3 years later. About once every six months I take it out and clean out the containerand rinse the roots. Do not allow the roots to dry in the air. I like getting a wet paper towel and wrapping the bottom of the bamboo to keep the roots moist. They are fairly sturdy and if you don%26#039;t rip or break the roots they should be fine. I will also add a little bit of plant food. Just enough to give the plant a boost. I noticed that it helps it grown and get a few more leaves. Also as leaves die remember to remove them. Just gently pull them off and dispose of them. Good luck!
