The amount of time between repottings depends on how quickly your bamboo spreads. The first step in repotting is to remove the bamboo from the pot. In some cases, the pot may need to be cut or broken to get out the plant, notes the University of Georgia Extension. Check the roots and remove any that are damaged or diseased.
If you want to allow the plant to continue to grow, you are ready to replant in a larger pot. However, if you want to control the size of the bamboo or if the plant is extremely root bound, you will need to divide the plant. Use a spade or a saw to divide the roots. Repot the bamboo right away and make sure the top of the root ball is not covered by soil. Water the plant immediately to moisten the soil and roots. Discard any unused or damaged bamboo.
A potted bamboo needs a lot of fertilizer. Follow the high dosage instructions provided on a water-soluble fertilizer, advises the University of Georgia Extension. Water one to two times per week for the first several months after replanting. Once established, you can cut back watering to once every seven to 10 days. Make sure to also give your lucky bamboo a little TLC in the process Good luck!
