Today we will look into growing Lucky Bamboo in Soil – that’s shifting or repotting lucky bamboo plants from water into the potting soil. Then, We will also discuss the benefit of doing this and the steps involved in this procedure. And finally on Soil grown Lucky Bamboo Care tips.
Before we start, a quick recap on some basic facts about Lucky bamboo plants. Firstly, They are not bamboos at all; they are part of the Dracaena family. Their Botanical name is Dracaena braunii or Dracaena sanderiana.
Lucky bamboos are basically water plants, meaning they have no requirement of potting soil to grow. Although lucky bamboo plants grow successfully in a soil-less environment, they also grow very well in well-draining soils. The actual purpose of shifting them into soil is to speed up their growth. Am sure most of us have the water grown lucky bamboo purchased from a store or online and you might have wondered there is hardly any growth both in height and calibre. So what we basically do by repotting them in soil – is make them free from a constrained space out of a tight water container.
Now the questions that arise: 1) Can I plant lucky bamboo in soil? and 2) Can I plant lucky bamboo outside in garden in sunlight?
The simple answer is “yes” for the first question and Yes for planting them in soil in a container and the answer to the second question is “No” – because Lucky bamboo cannot tolerate direct sunlight. However, when you plant in dirt or potting mix, you need to follow a different set of care tips – which we will discuss later.
Well now, lets quickly repot lucky bamboo in soil – watch video.

Now Quick Care Tips for Soil-Grown Lucky Bamboo Plant Care:
1. Place your Lucky Bamboo Plant in a ventilated area, in shade with bright indirect light. No direct sunlight.
2. Keep the soil slightly acidic – you can either use 5gm alum in 1 liter of water or 1 tsp of vinegar in 1 liter of water every 10 days.
3. Fertilize every 15 days with NPK – half the regular dose like only about 3 – 4 crystals every 15 days for a 10 inch pot , because its quite sensitive to over-fertilization.
4. Keeping the soil slightly moist at all time with daily watering. If you have added good vermiculite or gel into your soil, you can even water alternate days.

My lucky bamboo got fungus from water. The shopkeeper told to throw them away and buy a new set. I separated them and planted them in soil. All of them survived. Now I'm using cutting from those plants to propagate new plants.
