Growing indoor Bamboo House can be a great way to spruce up the ambiance in your home, but did you know that bamboo House can also go a long way in improving the air quality in your home? Lucky bamboo—the type that most of us recognize in stores and garden supply shops, that has a twisting or braided shoot—isn’t a type of true bamboo, but is actually a member of the dracaena species. That being said, it is actually the dracaena variety that most of us are referring to when we mention indoor bamboo.
While bamboo House isn’t especially difficult to grow in an indoor environment, there are a few guidelines that should be considered before you attempt to grow this Plant. The following guide will provide you with all of the information that you need to grow indoor bamboo.
Selecting a Good Plant House
When browsing a local garden nursery, it’s a good idea to know the warning signs that can suggest poor health in a bamboo house plant; after all, you wouldn’t want to end up with a plant that is already suffering from health issues before you even get it into your home! Healthy bamboo House has a bright green color and smooth texture. Check the plant over thoroughly and take note of any discoloration, especially areas that look yellow or bleached, blackened, or dried out. If the texture of the bamboo seems rough, bumpy, or brittle, then it’s probably not a healthy specimen. A healthy bamboo plant should be smooth and free of horizontal ridges.
If the specimens in the nursery have already produced leaves then you can check them for blemishes such as discoloration or decay, both of which are signs of poor health. Ideally, the bamboo’s eaves will be glossy and bright green. There may be several leaves on one plant but it is not uncommon for young bamboo house shoots to be free of leaves, so don’t rule out any specimens simply because they have not yet sprouted foliage.
Tools You Will Need
One of the best parts about caring for lucky bamboo is that you don’t need to worry a lot about the container size, soil type, pH levels, etc. When it comes to an indoor bamboo house, all you really need is a container and water. Although you could use virtually any container that you like, you shouldn’t be afraid to get decorative with your choices! A nice glass dish with colorful glass beads or stones can make a huge difference in the overall ambiance of your bamboo house and turn a simple plant into a classy decorative addition. If you don’t have any clear containers handy, then consider using something ceramic, as this could be an easy surface to clean. Avoid containers that are made of metal as they would likely rust. The water that you use for your bamboo house should be free of chlorine and other chemicals, so you might want to use purified or distilled water. You could also boil the water ahead of time and allow it to come down to room temperature before you pour it into the container.
Choosing the Ideal Location
The key to growing indoor bamboo house is to find a nice, bright location without exposing the container to direct sunlight. Plants like this are primarily found in areas where the light is filtered, like under a canopy. Try to mimic this type of environment in your home by keeping the bamboo house in an area where the light is filtered by curtains or blinds. Too much direct sunlight can encourage the growth of algae in the container and even scorch the leaves of the plant. When in doubt, remember that it is best for this type of plant to have less light than too much.
General Maintenance
Planting your indoor bamboo is one of the easiest gardening tasks you will ever have to do! If you lucky bamboo specimen hasn’t developed a root system yet, then you can just place the bottom of the bamboo in the container and surround it with rocks, pebbles, marbles, or stones. In addition to being attractive, as we pointed out earlier, it also helps to keep the bamboo upright. Now it’s time to add the water. Start out by pouring anywhere between one and three inches of water into the container. You will need to keep this amount of water in the container at all times until the bamboo house plants start to sprout roots at the bottom of the stalk. Once the roots have formed properly you can use them as a guide to determine how much water to keep in the pot, as the roots should be fully submerged under water.

If you choose to keep the water level on the low side, then you may find that you have to replenish the water more frequently due to evaporation. If you like to keep the water level higher then you probably won’t have to worry too much about evaporation; but you will need to dump out the old water, clean the container, and replace the water at least once every two weeks. The container should be emptied and cleaned once every three or four weeks to eliminate the growth of mold and other organisms.
