I cut a small (rectangular, with the long axis vertical) hole in the box for the light (which is affixed approximately three feet from the plant -- using a plant bulb). What I would like to know is how long it should take for some sort of response to take effect. To date, after a few (4 or 5) days, I see no effect as of yet.

Someone at work told me it was getting too much light - so I took it home to a darker room. I haven't noticed any change in the color for the past two weeks. I am wondering what I need to do.

They are beautiful plants. I have bought several of them from HEB. I get the decoratvie rocks and put them around the bamboo sticks and keep lots water in my vase. I use fake flowers to decorate the bamboo sticks. They look so pretty together.

It has become pale in color, with many roots. Can I root trim it, and what about the pale color?

One person told me to use wire to make it happen. The bamboo needs constant water. Get a container with a hole in the bottom and plcae it in a larger container continually filled with water. My boss has had a "lucky" plant for several years and it just grows and grows.

From what I've heard, it grows very rapidly here in AZ, so you might want to make sure to keep it in a container to prevent it from overrunning your yard.

After a couple days, the bamboo will begin to reach for the sunlight. 3. Turn the bamboo slightly, after the bamboo stalk has grown a few inches. Turn the bamboo based on how curly you would like the bamboo stalk. 4. It will take a few months for the bamboo to have a distinct curl. It is worth the wait.

I have to add water about once a month, but I have never had to change the water. It twists on it's own. It has grown to over 5 feet. It sits on my desk and goes to the ceiling with no support. Great plant for those without a green thumb. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Twisting Water Plant Post by luv2craft (69) | (05/09/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact I think what you're describing is bamboo. I guess it just naturally twists on its own. They sell it @ Wal-Mart also. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Twisting Water Plant Post By Is (Guest Post) (05/08/2006) Those plants are called Bamboo. I believe there are the longer varieties that twist. Report Spam or Abuse
