The lucky bamboo makes a good indoor plant because it does not require much care. If you water it regularly and give it enough light, it can grow up to 3 inches a year with occasional application of a fertilizer plant. If your plant has outgrown its original container, you can transplant it in a new pot very easily as this plant is very resilient!
Keep in mind that the lucky bamboo likes its own company, so it is perfectly fine if it is a bit crowded in its pot. It grows in height and not so much in girth, and therefore you will not need to transplant it often.
The best container for your lucky bamboo plant is a pot that is about 2 inches larger than your current one. Make sure that there are drain holes at the bottom of it because the roots need to be very well drained.
If your plant was originally growing in water, you can add the marbles or the stones that were at the bottom of your water container and place them at the bottom of your new pot. The water will be able to drain much more easily from the pot.
As for soil, make sure to use a fast draining soil mixture. If the water cannot escape your pot properly, questlove of your bamboo plant will rot. If you want to make your own soil mixture, mix regular soil, peat moss and sand in equal proportions. This will make the perfect soil for your lucky bamboo plant!
If your plant was originally water-grown, water it heavily for the next two weeks after transplanting it into soil. This will allow the roots to accommodate to their new environment.
