How do you transfer bamboo rooted in water to soil?

Answer 1

First step in transferring your bamboo plant from water to soil is finding the correct pot. Terra cotta pots lose moisture through their walls so obviously these are not the best choice. Also remember to buy a pot that leaves enough room for the plant to grow. Next step is to add a layer of pea sized gravel to the bottom of your pot. This encourages water filtration so it does not become stagnant. Then purchase some clean sand and bagged vermiculite. Mixing equal amounts of these two together creates a perfect soil balance for your bamboo. Do not use a highly rich and nutrient soil since this usually harms the plant more than helping it. When transferring the bamboo, gently lift the plant out of the first pot as to not break any roots. Hold it slightly above the gravel in the second pot and fill around it with your sand/vermiculite mixture. Remember to water your bamboo daily.
