Can lucky bamboo be repotted?

April 30th, 2007 | By: Jamie Jamison Adams

I have some very lucky Lucky Bamboo. My neighbor gave me 4 little pots of the bamboo 5 years ago..now they are 5 pots. ALL I have ever done is keep them topped off with bottled water…they are in a garden window facing southwest. They are thriving..but the roots are growing out the top of the  little pots…all of them are completely full of root. I did move one tall curly guy downstairs because he got too tall for the window. I don\'t want to lose them, but they need to be repotted, and probably given some food once in a while. They are in containers between 1 1/2\" to 3 1/2\"…I am amazed they have flourished for so long with so little attention..but I love them. Any suggestions? Thank you, Cheri Moore

    Cheri,

    The simplest thing is to repot them. Try a container about twice the size it is now. Lucky bamboo is like every other plant — when it out grows it's container it must be repotted. The only other alternative is to propagate new plants off the old one and start over.
