Lucky bamboo?

i bought a lucky bamboo plant and its in a little dish of water, i was wondering should i pot it into soil? or will it be best just in water? i want to make it a house plant that will grow but surely it must be in soil to grow roots and last a long time.

thankyou

Lucky bamboo?
I sell lucky bamboo. The best thing to do is keep it in water. If you want you can give it a few stones to hold it in place, but the lucky bamboo is all from China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia and while it is there, it lives in the water and doesn't get any sunlight. Here's some tips:

-Water you bamboo every three days.

-Give your plant indirect sunlight.

-Feed your plant with a fertilizer such as "Green Green" about once a week.



Hope that helps!
Reply:They do not need soil, just the water. You will however need to use a liquid plant food on them occasionally. Bamboo are fabulously easy to grow and require little light to flourish, making them an ideal house plant. You should keep the vase or whatever it is in full at all times. Just top it off every couple of days.
Reply:They only need water. Bought my daughter one as a housewarming plant and it has grown incredibly well. Just top up the water now and again.
Reply:Feng Shui bamboo is known to be one of the hardiest plants and therefore a symbol of health and wealth. Thing to take care is to keep the water clean and fresh avoiding stagnation at all times. Best to allow tap water stand in an open container for a day before using it for the plant.

Reply:I have two separate bamboo plants - mind you I'm still somewhat of an amateur, but all I do is top off my plants with distilled water every week or two. One of them is insanely huge. Oh, and by the way, I make sure that they are not in direct sunlight. The guy I bought them from told me that a surefire way to KILL the bamboo is to put it in a sunny window. Hope that helps!
