That is why it can sit in water 24/7. There are only a couple of Real bamboo plants that can do that. Real bamboo will also lean towards light but not in a spiral due to the rate of growth for most Real bamboo plants. Luck Bamboo is not bamboo at all, Its a reed. That is why it can sit in water 24/7.

The only light needs to come from the bottom. Keep the light on for 8 to 10 hours. For now just use the distilled water. In a month or two fertilize the lucky bamboo with a very very diluted solution of a water soluble fertilizer. Good luck and keep me posted. Linda,

I have a little table that sits about 2 ft. high w. the kitchen window's bottom even in hieght. The sun shines thru bright in morning w. the porch difussing a little and a matchstick shade which I can pull up for more light. I have an Ott-lite I used to use for crafts and thought I could set it down on the floor to guide growth down? Should I keep the light from window difused w. shade? How many hrs. a day should I keep the lower light on? Sunrise to Sunset? Also, our water in Indy is VERY Hard!! Since we rent, we buy distilled & I drink ultra-purified & add trace minerals. Should I use distilled water & add a supplement? If so, what would you reccomend? Thank you for the help! Linda I'd like to try to grow a heart shape.

To make the lucky bamboo turn downward make sure the hole is lower than the piece you want to turn downward. Take pictures as you go along. Then we'll post your "experiment" with details for others who might want to do the same thing. Good luck and keep me posted. I think you have a good idea of what to do.

Make sense? Or is there an easier way? I can always go back and buy another one, it would be kind of an adventure to see if this would work. What would you suggest about using this technique?

I have been trying to find out how to create the spiral for months. I won't go into all the different answers I received. (None were correct). Can you direct me to additional information on this plant? Thank you, Wonderful! I have been trying to find out how to create the spiral for months.
