Cut off the longest one and simply replace on water. I will start another . I have started many this way.

Reply:"To grow new stalks from your original ones, make a clean cut through the stalk, seal the top end with some wax. Place the cutting in fresh, clean water with some rooting hormone (use directions on rooting hormone package). Refresh this mixture at least once a week."

Reply:1) Buy or acquire some lucky Bamboo from a shop that sells it

2) Use transport or walk/run to your home (if your not sure of your address ask an older relative to write it down for you)

3) If you have to follow the step 2 don't bother, give up and go eat some carrots.

4)I'm bored now

LUCKY BAMBOO IN THE CLASSROOM!





Q: Hi. I am a teacher and I'm looking for a way to show soil-less plant growth. I have an aquarium with some Koi, goldfish, and algae eaters in it. I was wondering if I could suspend the Bamboo directly in the tank? I know that the bamboo will absorb nutrients from the water, but would doing this harm either the fish or the plants in any way? I hope you can help me out with this. Thanks, Steve



A: Great question, Steve! Actually, you may create a great eco-system using fish, lucky bamboo and water. I have stems of bamboo that have been immersed in water for 3+ years. I have put a gold fish in with them and a beta (Siamese fighting fish) with no ill effects to the fish. It creates an environment beneficial to fish and plant.

Lucky bamboo is not toxic to humans, fish, fowl or animals. An aquarium should be a great setup but I would suggest that you do as I have or something similar.

What I have is a tall glass vase with a hurricane chimney in the middle. I've used clear glass "marbles" - the kind you find in craft stores, to build a foundation for the roots of the bamboo to rest upon. I don't know if that's especially necessary or not but I find it easier to clean. My original thought was that roots might develop up the stems but that has not happened.

I think this is a fine way to demonstrate hydroponics. Please feel free to direct your students to my site. I am adding sections on water features and bonsai, along with expanding growing plants from seeds for their unique value.

What grades do you teach? I will be posting your question on my FAQs and FACTS page within a few days. Thank you for writing me.



R: Thanks for your response, Esprit. I teach 6th grade science in central New York State. The aquarium I have is 55 gal. I have cut a hole in the tank hood, and I was thinking about just suspending the roots 2 or 3 inches into the tank and then figuring out how to support the rest of the plant... thought about using Saran wrap, a thin sponge with holes big enough for the stems, or maybe some sort of a soft-grip clamp for the stems or something else I haven't thought of yet. We'll see! I'll let you know how it works out. Steve





HOW DO I CHANGE WATER IN THE BAMBOO POT?



Q: I am so happy to have found you! My question is about a bamboo I bought with three stalks, one of which has died. What is the best way to water these? Should I tip over the pot (square glass) to take it out and change water? I've got it on a shelf that doesn't get direct sunlight, but the room I think is fairly bright (it has the most windows). I thought it shouldn't be in direct light.

Anyway, I'm at a loss as to what to do with this. I don't want to lose any more of it than I have. Any advise from you would be appreciated! Thank you! Romilie

A: I'm sorry you lost one of the stalks. The problem is, when
