@@deniceouellette7216 if you are referring to the plant called lucky bamboo, that is actually a draceana. I can't remember its name though.....maybe Braunii??? Yes I think so. Check that out
I just saw your Lowes clearance plant video. If you visit certain Home Depots, in the large blue dumpsters next to the garden section, you can find a lot of plants that were thrown away that can easily be revived. Almost my entire succulent collection contains plants that were rescued from the dumpster. It sounds gross, but only garden stuff is thrown away there. I’ve also scored some plastic pots as well.
I wish I saw this sooner! I saw an aloe at home depot that looked pretty bad. There were two in one pot, bending and breaking the pot and so squished. I wanted to bring it home and nurse it back to health but when I went back for it, it was gone. I figured either someone bought it or the store threw it out.
Oh wow, didn't know this...thanks for sharing! ☺ There should be a "rehabilitation clinic" for dying plants instead of just tossing them out...😒 nurse 'em back to health, and find homes for them!
My lucky bamboo has been in water the last three years, the leaves have begun turning that exact pale color yours have, I repotted it in hopes the soil helps my plant baby thrive. Wish me luck ❤️
@@user-ux1fs9mz7u so it’s been a month since repotting it, and honestly, it seemed like my bamboo was shocked for quite some time and it’s barely getting used to the soil. Made me nervous at first honestly. BUT, finally It does look a lot greener, doesn’t require much watering and is so much healthier than before so I do recommend if you are thinking about it. (:
Thanks for the advice, I’m going to try mine in a glass vase with pebbles at the bottom some soil and pebbles at the top. I hope that works but your advice was wonderful thank you.
sanderiana dracaena and they are native to Africa from Cameroon. Most people sale these and have no clue about them...and their real habits. The jungles of Africa. Thanks for sharing. You are awesome!
*I WAS LOOKING FOR A VIDEO EXACTLY LIKE THIS!* I had a lucky bamboo that I loved, but it was lost for a variety of reasons... so I wanted to start over. When I got my new shoots home I wondered if I could plant them in dirt knowing bamboo looks like it grows in dirt naturally. Lo and behold this was the first video I came across that answered ALL my questions! So now its in dirt with my fingers crossed that it likes its home. *THANKYOU!!*
I have had my Bamboo in water for the past 4-5 years and never any issues with it growing or staying green. About 2 times a year I add about 4 ml. of a light fertilizer to the water and then leave it alone. I do let it dry out about every 3 months and not give it any water for about 1 week, a friend gave me this tip and it works awesome. No need for soil at all :-)
I definitely agree. My mother’s bamboo plant which started off as a propagation had spent its whole life (the last 7 or 8 years) in water and survived beautifully. I moved it to soil a few days ago and I’m a bit nervous, I won’t lie. But yes, bamboo can definitely thrive in water 💕
I have Three and did just as you Today? Glad I came across ur video, cause it was looking yellow just like urs! Thank you! I hope they come to life and add prosperity and good health! ✨✨
Thank you for this! I’ve had my lucky bamboo plants in water/pebbles for a couple years, but was worried about moving cross country with them in such a delicate state. Your video is exactly the solution I needed! Looking forward to grouping my lucky bamboo into one pot with soil/pebbles for nourishment and structure.
I received a lucky bamboo some time around 2010. It sat nicely on my desk in a 8oz. container of water. I still have it today! It is over 5ft. tall & is in a 2 gallon container of water. I'm hoping to transfer it to soil without it dying. You're video was very informative & easy to follow. Wish me luck & thank you for your video
I never knew that they were supposed to be in soil till today. I have 3 that have been in water for almost 4 yrs! I started to notice the leaves starting to turn yellow so in researching the reason I now know. I'm transplanting them now! Your video is my guide! I like the fact that you mentioned north window, because my bedroom windows face north! I knew no direct sun but I thought to myself maybe north is to dim! Thank you!
@@carmenwhitehead Also, I forgot to express, I love your tip on adding the colored stones on top, to retain moisture, that's unique! I do have a question? I completed the task yesterday, when it's time to water them am I supposed to water company them until I see water draining into the bottom water catch pan or do I water lightly? Thank you!
Hi..so my neighbor gave me her lucky bamboo plant which is in a large pot with tiny pebble...it started to yellow so I'm going to transfer it to soil...I'm excited...thank you for the great video..😊
Got my plant from stater bros a couple years ago. Repoted it in soil and it grew tall. Noticed the tips were turning yellow/brown recently. Realized I needed a pot that allows draining! Hopefully this helps, I've had this plant so long ❤
thk u for the video...i do have a lucky bamboo that s not been so lucky...i had 4 stalks i salvedged half of a stalk...been in water and not thriving...i will re pot it to soil in the next week and hopefully give it new life
Thank you for the information; I inherited some lucky bamboo that was in bad shape, so I've been able to save some of it and have had it in water, and it's getting better, but I think it would be happier in soil.
I was just changing the water for my lucky bamboo when I thought maybe I should put it in soil. Your video was the first one I saw! Five minutes later im sitting on my porch transplanting them!
yes i plan to transplant my lucky bamboo into another larger pot the pot that it is in is very small i have some fresh compost and i look forward to seeing it grow in another larger pot.
Was looking to see if I could transplant bamboo from stones to soil and found your site. So I transplanted some sad roots and will put it in a good spot and see how it transforms. Love your channel!
They need water, soil and plant food and undirected sun light; fertilizer only when needed 😘 Thanks for sharing this, a lot of people doesn’t know this, so yes thanks for educating!🌈🙌
Yes I will be reporting my lucky bamboo from soilless pot. It is in a kind of tiny pot …. It’s got some soil in it I think. Its roots are in this tiny basket inside a small ceramic pot with gravel on the top. I gave it some fertilizer and it grew so big it is very top heavy! Thank you for your clear concise video. 😊
So happy I found this video. I was gifted a Lucky Bamboo and now it looks rather pathetic. I've got everything to repot, so I'm hoping I can salvage it and give it new life.
I'm in the process of transferring mine to soil now, hopefully it does well bc some of my leaves are yellowish in color! Thanks so much for all your suggestions!
Thank you so much on your video. I've got a lucky bamboo had for 6 years growing in water knew why it's got pale leaves so now I'm going to put it in soil today
Thank you so much you were so helpful and informative in transplanting the lucky bamboo plant I've had for a long time and yes the leaves were yellowing and not doing well I'm looking forward to see how healthy my plant gets thanks again
Thank you Carmen, this was so helpful. I have a lucky bamboo that is almost 6 years old and has been growing in rocks and water and after I transplanted it to a larger pot last year it has not done well and started turning yellow. I took it out of its pot and discovered its roots smelled stinky. I found a video about using hydrogen peroxide in dilution to clean the roots, and it has gotten better, but it keeps getting stinky again. I am cleaning it one more time and after seeing your video I want to try planting it in soil. Poor thing, its been in rocks and water all this time, I look forward to seeing how it does in soil and with some fertilizer. I've never fertilized it.
Thank you, yes mine has been in a very small ornamental rooster, and it's growing so tall, I feel so bad the only nutrients it's been getting is the sun , for years since I got it, so I i looked it up and came across your video, thanks so much!! I will be returning it to soil today!! 😁🙏🪄 Peace and Blessings 🙏🌍🕊️☮️🙏
Few stalks of the plant I had were turning yellow and were kind of softening up.So decided to transfer them into soil after going through your video. Hope they survive cause they were my bday gift 🙃
I've been wanting to transplant my bamboo in soil. I watched your video, so I'm going to try this and hope they look as nice as yours. Thanks so much!!
Today i tried to find a good video to replant my sons littlw babboo (or not bamboo) and i found u!! Thank u. Love how u did this and so helpful. Ill be watching u
Thank you for this helpful information! My bamboo is showing signs of depression after being in its original container for more than a year now. I shall save it!
Thank you Carmen, it was easy and my lucky bamboo plants look so good in my new pot. I put them in my bedroom as well near my work area. I had a feeling that the soil would be a better fit for these plants I just needed some more information and you broke it down. Thanks a again.💞💞💞
So I brought this plant at a little boutique, almost a year ago and I kept it in water but it wasn't really growing, so I have a lot of little pots and some potting soil around, so I did just what you said so we'll see how it works.I only did it 😅a few minutes ago😊
I was just given a plant that had been on the desk of my husband's co-worker for months.....I am definitely taking it out of its water and planting it in soil! Perfect timing for this video! Thank you soooo much!
Thanks for sharing! My search led me to your video first and I learned all I needed to learn in order to repot my lucky bamboo so I don’t need to go any further 😊😊
Thank you so much your video was very helpful and I'm going to take my Lucky bamboo out of water and put it in potting soil . 🙂 I hope you have a great day.
Hi Carmen , you give me life.....I potted my lucky bamboo because I just wanted to see if it will grow in dirt and I keep my lucky bamboo in the window it started out with two stalks and now I have the main one I gave my sister three pieces and I have a second and I'm rooting some now my lucky bamboo is almost to the top of my window
Mine has been in water for nearly a y ear now and has reached the top of the kitchen window. I'll re pot into dirt today and let you know what happens! Thank you for this information!
Great video! I have a lucky bamboo, it’s currently in a plastic container in soil topped with pebbles, and the container is inside of a pot with pebbles and water that I keep at an inch high. I really want to pot it in soil only, because I worry about the soil being in water.. I’m a new plant mama and want her to thrive .. 😂
Yeah, the soil in water can be a recipe for root rot. They thrive in one or the other. Either have them in water and pebbles only or soil only. Hope this helps.
I have 2 stalks of lucky bamboo that have grown to over 5ft. tall... I've had them for over 8 years, always in water. Lately, they haven't been their very best, and I suspect its because of the long term water. I'd like to transfer them to soil, but I'm just so afraid! Thank you for the video... it gives me courage to make the move.
thank you for this great information sweetie! I was getting ready to repot two of my lucky bamboo and decided I would look up and see exactly how I should do it and your video popped up! I'm so glad because now I am going to put mine in potting soil! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! I don't do that well with houseplants, I have tons of succulents I live in southern California! I look forward to filming this for my viewers!
Thanks so much for visiting Debrajoy! Mine is still doing great in soil. I would love to see your succulents. I'm in Phoenix and have many out on my balcony.
🌿 Hi Carmen .. Thank you for these tips & your obvious love for planets. I need to transfer from water to soil. My question is: Should the pot have drainage holes? Thank you so much 🌿 Blessings 🙏 Always
Love your video, I'm definitely going to plant my lucky bamboo in soil. I have one that is about 2-1/2 feet tall, and it's still in it's original container with rocks and water. I think it will love the soil, as some of the ends of the leaves are brown, but it's mostly hardy and green.
Good luck to you! Remember to water it with filtered or distilled water once you replant it. It's been in water a long time and will need some time to get use to the soil.
My lucky bamboo seems to prefer my fish tanks. So much so that when I got some white ribbon last year, I decided to start it in the fish tanks. I do like to grow it in soil as well. As that is how I prefer to gift the plant. I know people like to grow this plant in a vase with water, but nobody provides an air supply and that is why I think it does so well in the aquarium. Aquariums have Air in the form of an air stone or the pump, that along with the nutrients that the aquarium gives, but I believe the oxygenated water is even more important than the nutrients.
Carmen. Thank u so much for this video. I have a lucky bamboo plant I bought at my local Walgreens store here in Ft Collins CO 15 years ago. Yes u read that right. Lately the leaves began turning light green to yellow. I had it in the original pot it came in. Adding spring water every few days. It has been super healthy for years. I would be so sad if I killed it. So last month I repotted it. Same as before just bigger container. It’s not been happy so I am excited to try your way. Thank u so much. I’d love to share pix with u. Just don’t know how to add a pix to this comment. Kristen Jacobson. Colorado
Oh goSh🤔...your video was aWesome .. your voice is calm .. you didn't ramble ... stayed on point 👉🏻🥰..I subbed ... transferring from water to soil ..saw the yellow leaves and paniCked 😵..but you said , soil will correct! 🙂Thanks again .. bleSsings for y🌞u...I learned a lot !
I had some lucky bamboo that was in desperate need of pruning/propagating. I had it for awhile, so I was nervous, to kill my plant, but went for it. At first, it was fine, but a week or two after propagating it, I struggled with a lot of root rot, and my plants started dying :( (I wouldn't have noticed except for the rotten smell that I noticed one day in my house - I thought it was some rotting potatoes in my pantry, but it turned out to be my bamboo!). Even some of my good stalks started getting root rot and dying. I transferred them to soil to help try to mitigate over-wet roots, and hope that my stalks could be revived - so far so good, it seems. I think they're slowly getting better, which I'm so happy about. I intend to check the roots/soil (and improve the soil conditions) soon, and see if the root system has gotten healthier (they got pretty destroyed in my transfer), but I have noticed leaves have stopped yellowing, and I'm seeing some new growth! So there's my experience with lucky bamboo in soil - it certainly seems pretty happy about it! Good video!
I am house sitting and dog sitting so I went through your videos in the last two days. Thanks so much for all your work. I really like them and am learning from you. I look forward to seeing more.
Merci pour le partage....J’aime beaucoup ce que vous faites....Les plantes sont tellement importantes dans notre vie....Elles réjouissent les yeux , le regard, le cœur....elles créent des liens ....des échanges .....merci encore....Bien amicalement...
Appreciate the video, Carmen! Most of the videos for this plant will discuss planting in soil, but you're the first one to actually show it. Is your plant still doing well?
Its so funny how life works i literally planted some bamboo i had in water yesterday into soil. Please show an update video in a few to see how yours are adjusting. I wish you an abundantly blessed day.
