Whether and how often the easy-care lucky bamboo should be repotted depends largely on how it is kept. If it is in a vase, the vessel only needs to be changed if it gets too small.
Lucky bamboo should be repotted at least every two years
When should I repot my lucky bamboo?
About every one to two years you can think about repotting your lucky bamboo. Then the soil is already a bit exhausted and the expanded clay (19.73€) in hydroponics is no longer fresh. Germs and mold can easily form.
If your lucky bamboo turns yellow, you should react quickly. Fresh soil or fresh substrate is quite helpful in these cases. You should also cut off all parts of the plant that have turned yellow. Of course, the lucky bamboo must also be repotted if it has become too big for its planter.
What do I have to consider when repotting?
Carefully remove your lucky bamboo from the previous planter and free the roots from old soil or old substrate. Then rinse the roots with clean water and plant your lucky bamboo in fresh soil or fresh substrate.
Make sure the Lucky Bamboo is standing firmly, but do not plant it or plant it only a little deeper than it was previously planted. The diameter of the planter should also correspond to your lucky bamboo. The roots don't take up a lot of space. It's more about the visual impression, which should be harmonious.
You are welcome to plant several stems in one container. These can be combined in a very decorative way. If your lucky bamboo has grown very tall in the meantime, you can now also shorten a trunk and propagate your plants in this way. Place the piece you cut off in a glass of stagnant water until roots have formed, then it can be planted.
The essentials in brief:
- repot every one to two years
- pay attention to stability
- Clean roots carefully
tips
Repot your lucky bamboo every year or two. If signs of illness appear on the plant, then this is also an opportunity to repot.
