How to grow lucky bamboo at home
- Select container: The clear glass vase allows you to see the roots and make sure the water stays clear. Also, make sure the vase is deep enough to hold the stems.
- Rinse the stones: If you are using stones or gravel, wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Arrangement of rocks and stems: Place the rocks in the bottom of the container and insert the Lucky Bamboo stems into the rocks. You can arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing way.
- add the water: Fill the pot with enough water to cover the roots. It is preferable to use filtered or distilled water because tap water can contain chemicals that can harm the plant.
