Transplanting Bamboo

#8279770 - 04/13/08 09:36 PM (18 years, 4 months ago)

So I got this bamboo plant for a present a few years ago, and it hasn't died yet! It's actually getting huge, and I want to provide more room for its roots. My problem is that it is not planted in soil, but a glass container filled with marbles and water. Not exactly marbles, but some kind of glass aquarium rocks...

Is there any way I can "transplant" this bamboo into a larger container without pissing off the roots to the point of death?

Thanks for any replies! :cool:

clear glass is bad to grow it in, you will want a dark colored container to grow it in to prevent algae from taking over the roots/water.

i use a black plastic vase and mine are going nuts, but i tried a glass before that and they started dieing slowly and the inside of the glass was all algae/slime once a week.

good luck

it's draceana, so you should be able to repot in soil pretty easy. it grows in the ground on farms here quite easily :smile:

pot it up and give it a drink :smile:

So it shouldn't piss off the roots too badly if I dump the rocks out and stick the sucker in a new pot?

Do you grow them in soil or water?

Thanks again!
