Q: I was given a lucky bamboo as a gift, and have had it for a year or so. It's currently planted in a small, shallow pot in soil, and the roots have started to emerge. Is it a good idea to repot it, and if so, how should I go about it?
A: Lucky bamboos – which aren't actually true bamboos but members of the Dracaena family – are one of the easiest indoor plants to care for. But, after a while, they can start to outgrow their original pot. Congested roots can make it more difficult for them to get the nutrients they need, so it's worth providing a more spacious home.
