How can I make my bambu plant grow healthy and fast?
Answers:
Taking care of bamboo is easy. If it seems to be doing well enough without care, anything you add will be an improvement. Any fertilizer (but not weed-n-feed types) that is sold for grass would be appropriate, though manure from any animal, compost or fish fertilizer would be just fine. Many bamboo people recommend organic, slow-release formulas. Bamboo needs quite a bit of water so if you have a long dry spell during the summer and the leaves curl, it’s past time to water.
Some bamboos do better in full sun, others in full shade. If you know what variety of bamboo you have, you can check the ABS Species Source List for the bamboos Sun/Shade index.
Don’t remove the leaves that drop from the plant, it serves as mulch around the base of the plant. The leaves contain silica that the plant will need for future growth and it keeps down weeds.
Bamboo culms (stalks) reach their maximum height in the first growing season and then, each year after that, usually add branches, until the culm is five to seven years old. Then it should be thinned out of the grove. Use a fine-toothed saw for large-diameter bamboo or sharp clippers for smaller-diameter culms.
If you notice light colored splotches on the tops of the leaves and silvery spots on the bottom of the leaves, you have bamboo mites. These don’t kill the bamboo, but they do make it look less beautiful. There are insecticidal soaps, home-brew remedies and biological controls that bamboo people try. If the discoloration doesn’t bother you, don’t do anything

fertilize it. Make sure you water according to the fertilizer.
if you're talking about the green lucky bamboo stalks that seem all the rage nowadays, that is not actually bamboo. it is not going to grow all that much more than it was when you bought it. it might become leafier but that's about it.
You can use miricle grow to help your plant. And water it every day
The first thing to say is that small green stems in small vases filled with some rocks and a little water sold as Lucky Bamboo across the U. S. are not bamboo at all....

My Bamboo doesn't like direct sunlight. Be sure to keep plant watered. If it looks like your plant is drying up you need to increase the humidity where you keep your plants. If that isn't possible Mist the leaves daily with a typical spray bottle with plain water. If that doesn't help ther may be no hope ( I lost 3 plants due to dryness)
