How to Care of your Bamboo Plant

Bamboo Plants are one of the easiest house plants to take care of. Given this, don't be too overconfident. 😆


Things to know about the bamboo plant




  • These plants are actually called lucky bamboo plants and are NOT REAL bamboo plants. They will NOT grow a foot in a week and will NOT grow through your roof! 😜
  • The plant will grow only a few inches a year, depending on how well you take care of them.







Things to know about sunlight for bamboo plant

  • These bamboo plants DO NOT and WILL NOT survive in DIRECT sunlight. 
  • You should NOT place the plants anywhere where it will get direct sunlight. If it gets direct sun, the plant will dry up.
  • Instead, the best places to keep them are in bright rooms and  away from windows. Somewhere where sunlight enters the room but does not touch the plant directly, like a bathroom. 
    • Be wary of ceiling windows, blinds, and sunlight changing directions throughout the day. 
  • Imagine the plants living at the bottom layer of a forest underneath so many leaves. It's not getting direct sunlight right? Same thing applies to your bamboo plant at home. 😎 This also means these plants are suitable at room temperature.



Things to know about watering bamboo plants


  • There are two ways to care for the bamboo plant. One is to grow the plants in just water, the other is in a pot and soil, like common house plants.
  • Given that we provide you with a jar filled with water and water beads, we suggest growing the plants in water instead of in soil. 
  • Water the plants systematically

    • This means pouring at least enough water to cover the roots of the bamboo plant. Do not pour more than 4-5 inches above the roots.
    • This also means changing the water every 1 to 2 weeks because the plant needs fresh water to survive. To change the water, simply pour the existing water out and then fill up with new water. 
  • It's also widely suggested that you use bottled or purified water because bamboo plants are sensitive to the chlorine in tap water. 
  • BTW, the water beads are perfectly safe for the bamboo plants and will not cause a problem!

Hopefully, these tips helped you gain a better understanding on how to keep your li'l bamboos alive!
