Hi! I’m super new to this app. I found it while googling how to care for my plants because they all look sad. Turns out I don’t know what I’m doing 😅. I have this bamboo that I bought from Aldi a while back. I think it’s stuck in the pot it came in. However, this app is teaching me that this plant either needs drainage or should have the water container cleaned frequently (I know. It looks disgusting). Any recommendations? Should I keep trying to remove it? I could smash the pot? Or is it fine in there?

    welcome! this app is the best — i’ve learned SO MUCH! based on the conditions, i would keep trying to get it out. leaving it in there seems like a bacteria paradise from the old water and lack of drainage is bad news! if you’re planting anything in a medium (other than water lol), it should have drainage. the lack of drainage commonly leads to root rot, which will spread, eventually killing the plant!

      Thank you for the warm welcome and the information! Yeah I bet there’s a lot of bacteria in there. I’m gonna get it out. Thank you so much!!

    i do not personally have a bamboo plant, but i’ve seen a few people here say theirs thrive in just water. if that’s something you’re considering, try that in a clear container so you can vibe check the water easily
