How do i take care of my bamboo plant?

Question

My friend just got me a little bamboo plant and i was wondering what I have to do to keep it healthy and growing. Its in a small round pot that is filled with small rocks. Could you please tell me how often I should water it, and if I should keep it in the sun or in the shade.

Answer 1

Known for centuries as Lucky Bamboo, the plant is not a bamboo at all (botanical name: Dracaena) but a resilient member of the lily family that grows in the dark, tropical rain-forests of Southeast Asia and Africa.

Not hard to take care of change water once a week, Miracle-gro makes liquid plant food that is the easiest way to fertilize the bamboo. Just a couple of drops once a month will be enough. But not necessary. They live in low light very well. I have mine in a bathroom with no window.

Here is my favorite site for bamboo, it has all the information you will need.

Answer 2

this is normal. shouldn't do anything with it. you can change the water once a week. the plant thrives well indoor without much sunlight. it is pretty easy to care for . good luck with your plant.
