Find Your Ask The Expert: lucky bamboo i just bought isin a “pot” (more like a glass) about 5-6″ high. It has rocks init. You can\’t see through the container, so how do I know how much water to keep in the plant. do i just keep it so i can feel it at the top of the rocks ?
Plant Expert Reply:
You will want to keep the water level at least an inch or so above the rocks. It is acceptable to fill your container half full of water. You will want to keep this level all of the time. Depending on the hum idity of your room, you may have to add water every couple of days.
Keep in mind, lucky bamboo likes water but doesn’t like the chemicals – chlorine and fluoride. So you will need to use distilled water or you will need to leave your water in an open container, for a minimu of overnight and up to 24hrs, before you place it in your lucky bamboo container.
To help with humidity, you can mist the air around your lucky bamboo every so often.
Good Luck and Keep me posted.
