# I just bought this baby bamboo from Petco today. I want to transfer…

I just bought this baby bamboo from Petco today. I want to transfer him into a pot and I'm a bit nervous about doing so. I know it'll be a lengthy process and I'll have to add a little soil every few days to adapt him but I'm still very nervous, how should I go about this?

Definitely take off the rubber bands asap

That was priority one for sure!

Update, I just got them into a temporary pot filled with some of the water they came with and rain water. I think I'm going to wait a day or two before I add any soil just so they can adapt

I would wait a week but that’s just me…

I know I'm not going to add soil right away, I do want them to get used to my lighting and room temperature

Your idea to let it acclimate, then just slowly add soil is the best option really, especially since it was full aquatic.

Okay great! I wasn't sure if there were other ways ri go about this, I don't want them to die on me 😅

#### Wolfen 🐺 antwoordde op 2025-06-23

You can just put them in soil and keep them watered well. But slow add of soil is less of a shock
