- 1). Put the lucky bamboo in a pot with moist soil.
- 2). Lay a cardboard box on its side in a sunny window. Set the bamboo inside the box so the plant is shaded on all but one side.
- 3). Watch the growth of the bamboo on a daily basis. Lucky bamboo naturally reaches toward the sun so it will begin to grow sideways and slightly upward due to the light conditions in the box.
- 4). Rotate the pot counterclockwise 90 degrees when the stalk grows 1/2 inch to 1 inch out to the side. Several factors can affect the growth rate, but expect it to take several weeks for this amount of growth.
- 5). Rotate the pot as often as necessary to reach your desired results. Rotate more frequently for tight spirals.
