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.

- 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!
