Like others, the right pot for me was five to six inches. It stood up well enough not to need any rocks to remain upright (though it would not hurt). Good luck!

I just stuck mine in an old vase when I got it. It's 15- 16 in. I have had it a while now and it is beautiful grown a little. My problem is my cat likes to chew on it. I would recommend it. I never untied mine either. I want to put it in a planter with pebbles. Definitely recommend. Keep atleast two inches of water on roots.

It is like a small plate site diameter, you will need a big pot for that!!!!!

I put mine in a 6 inch pot about 5 inches high and it is doing great . I like using pots with a wide top .

Depends entirely on how you pot it-my brother and I purchased identical trees. His is in a fairly large planter pot, maybe a 2-3 gallon pot, and his tree is about 2.5' tall. Mine is in a smaller pot, about 1.5 gallon pot and is currently about 1.5' and growing slowly. The nice thing about it is it doesn't need much direct sunlight at all-mine receives almost none during the day but still has big healthy green leaves. Very nice low-maintenance plant to have at home!

Hi TWallace....it is a DARK GREEN ceramic-porcelain- clay pot...measures 5.50" x 4" (shape is oval)...and the outside of the pot is the color dr. green...while the bottom of the pot is the orange-color clay. My plant is now 15" high...I'm wondering when or if I need to transplant it....but it does seem to be getting new shoots and is happy on my kitchen counter....hope this answers your question. TJ

Mary,Because you need to know the widest area at the bottom of your pot, measure the saucer.I love these plant stands and I have one of each size. They are high quality and move so easily.JoAnn

I dont know if I can be much help. I just purchased my bamboo 2-3months ago too. So far my bamboo hasnt gotten any taller, but has just started to spread. Im not a bamboo expert and this is my first attempt at growing bamboo. I dug my hole approx. 4ft wide and 1ft in depth(2 plants). I used a garden and tree shrub composite to plant and fill in the hole. Ive watered my plants frequently and used my yard clippings to cover the exposed dirt. Ive read that once established it should start to spread rapidly and grow taller year to year each spring. Not sure how accurate that is, since its my first year.Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if they all are the same size when you get them but the one I got was a foot or so maybe a foot and a half tall.Not very bushy when I got it but it filled out pretty fast.It seemed to be a healthy looking plant as well. I've had mine for about 2 years now and it lives in a large pot on my patio really lovely plant to have.I hope this helps. ^_^

I have a grey thumb, and my stocks are growing AMAZINGLY! Get a small, regular size plastic planter (~1 GAL) that can drain well, and add potting soil. Dip the bottom tip of the stalk in root hormone, stick in soil, pack soil down... water until water exits holes of pot at the bottom. Place in full sun. I live in Texas heat, and I've kept mine outdoors. I watered mine every 2-3 days when I could see that the soil was dry. When you spot new growth (little budding leaves that look like devil horns), your lil fella is producing roots, and you should prepare to transplant to very large container or garden. Look around on the internet for tips. I found Lucky Bamboo Expert on youTube was helpful, and the info on plumeria.org was invaluable. I'm so proud of my 4 guys, and I'm excited to see them mature. I started mine around July, and they have produced small blooms throughout the summer. Go for it!

Both plants I've had were around a foot tall including the ceramic pot. They will lose and sprout new leaves, but won't really grow taller than that.

I have had mine for 5 months and it is now just starting to grow. I would also call mine twiggy. I hope it someday resembles the pics of what I bought. If I had to do it over, I don't think I would purchase this online but find a bamboo dealer/farm.Donna Swanson

I am in zone 11. My plant is almost 5 feet tall now. You do plant it in a pot at first as it comes as a few sprigs with a few leaves on it. You can question any nursery in your area regarding your question. Hope it works out for you.

My black bamboo has grown about two feet in the last month but I have mine in a pot on the patio. I suggest a "clumping" type of bamboo rather than a "runner" bamboo. The clumping bamboo still spreads but is less invasive. I have Golden Bamboo planted along our fence, less than a year old and very noticeable growth. I hope this helps.

The pot is 4 inches in diameter, with the tree being 31/2 inches tall (above the pot) and 11 inches in girth. A very nice plant for the price and it has survived very well.

I would say about a foot or so for plants to be bushy or while in bloom growth. Then like about 16"-24"for plants to get a little taller and lanky or to stretch out a little bit. I have two of these in a 20" by 36" and 60" tall tent in my closet. Leds run cool but also depends on the plant type some don't get leaf burn as others.

I planted my three little trees in large pots as I wanted to be able to move them around. The pots are approximately 16" tall. The diameter at the top of the pot is approximately 18" across and it is approximately 14" across at the bottom. I am hoping these trees can live in these pots for several years. They have been doing great for the past several months.

Dear buyer, Thanks for your business! Lucky bamboo is low matainance indoor plant. You just put them in the water , water level can not be over the stem, around 2-3" will be fine. If it's lower than this, you may add more. Please place the bamboo inside your room ,do not put them in front of your window, direct sunlight will kill the plant. Change water every 7 days, if colorine is too high, please use diesel water. Please let us know if you have any question. Daniel / Betterdecor 09-18-13

Not sure how deep but get a wide one, I guess. Planted in ground getting morning & evening sun, NC zone 6b. 4th of July 1 leaf 2'×2.5' in size! Yes, that's feet. Haven't visited Grandma since but she says now there's a 4' long leaf. They don't droop to the ground & amaze everyone. Its a wide plant so I reccommed a 4'×4' minimum area if u pot. I say go for potting it & good luck!!
