Bamboo plants are relatively low-maintenance, needing little personal care. After purchasing a healthy plant, follow the steps below to maintain it.
Things You'll Need
- Aquarium plant food
- Water
Instructions
- 1 Water the bamboo plant with filtered water or rain water to avoid the chemicals in tap water. For an even healthier plant, use soiled water from a fish tank or bowl.
- 2 Keep the water level in the container high. It should never be less than half-filled. The roots of the plants must be completely submerged.
- 3 Empty the water, and refill about once a week.
- 4 Allow the bamboo plants indirect light at a moderate level. Bamboo grows in thick, shady forests. Too much light will kill the plant. The plant will turn yellow if it is too dry.
- 5 Feed the bamboo plant a few drops of aquarium plant food about once a month. Do this by changing the water.
- 6 If the bamboo plant is kept in a soil pot instead of water, make sure the soil is constantly damp, but not over soaked. If the top inch of soil is dry then it's time to water.
