Lucky bamboo

Some more info:

Why Are the Leaves Turning Yellow?

Two of the most common factors are 1.) too much direct sunlight; and
2.) Water that is too salty or heavily-fluoridated tap water.
Give your new Lucky Bamboo a thriving start be sure to keep it away from direct sunlight, and water only with filtered or natural spring water.

The number of stalks also has meaning :
three stalks for happiness;
five stalks for wealth; six stalks for health.
Four stalks, however, are always avoided since the word "four" in Chinese sounds too similar to the Chinese word for "death"!

Can I Take Cuttings from Lucky Bamboo?

Yes. New stalks can be propagated from the original plant by using a sharp knife to cut through a stalk - just below the joint. Place the cutting in fresh, clean water. A fine mist spray to stalks is sometimes suggested to stimulate new bud growth.

How Do I Repot Bamboo?
Like any other houseplant, Lucky Bamboo can be transferred to a vase or pot 2" larger than the original, or planted permanently into a loose sand or soil mixture that provides lots of bottom drainage. To avoid root rot, be careful to let the top of the soil dry out between waterings.

 

Dear AC,
Thats so much of Info regarding Lucky Bamboo.Thanks a lot.

 

Dear AC

thank you so much for your tips, but my plant is becoming dull suddnely, prev it was fresh and green and actually it was growing tall ,but now it looks dull and leaves look down OMG iam worried , iam changing water once in 2 days and using drinking water ( we call it PALAAR WATER) and definitely it wont get direct sunlight , iam sure , poor me, not able to post the snap of it, will try it tomorrow

 

I have lucky bamboo at my home too...i have 3 stalks...i water them based on the need like if i dont see any water or moisture around the pebbles in the pot i would water them...i love to see them growing..though their growth is very slow....it feels great when small leaves some out slowly

 

I water my lucky bamboo every alternate day...mine is just fine ...and I leave it for sunlight every other day....

Wooow! i have never seen so shapely bamboo shoots in India!! Thnaks pooja and malathy, I like the way they twist and turn hope I had seen these pics before I bought my bamboo plant (which was only yesterday :bonk) and may be I would have hunted for these plants with twists and turns!!

I had one last year with thrieved so welll but when i went out for a couple of months and forgot to tell my roomies to look after it, it dried off! :-(

I kept the roots of the plant submerged in water always (avoided the jelly kind of thing that we get when we buy it that retains water for longer, but I dint trust it) and water them as and when I see the water level going down, and change the water every month.Kept it off direct sunlight and a cooler corner! I hope opting only these measures my new plant will thrive soon too!
