Larry, We have one of these bamboo plants in our office at school. We just keep it in water, with the water level about half way up the stalk. The lighting is florescent.It seems to love that. I gave one to my daughter when she had surgery and she keeps it on her bar in her kitchen ,watering it only when the moss on the top seems to get dry. (It is planted in a vase type container. ) The lighting is also florescent in her kitchen. I have used a "plant light" from Home Depot when I lived in apartments for my house plants , giving them just a few hours at night after work until bedtime. Oh yes, use spring water, NOT FAUCET WATER . You don't want the chlorine on the plants. Hope my little bit of info helps. I"m certainly not an expert.

Hi Larry: I just received a Lucky Bamboo plant (botanic name: Dracaena) and I may be repeating some of Lissa's reply about the care of the Bamboo plant. This is from the care guide that was enclosed with the plant.
Lucky Bamboo is a tropical plant originating in Southeast Asia. Stalks of bamboo typically have naked branches ending in tufts of sword-shaped leaves. These shoots are traditionally grouped together in odd numbers. Diferent numbers of stalks represent different aspirations. (A little history of the plant).
Proper care: The plant grows in low light conditions and does not require any soil or fertilizer. You should keep your bamboo out of direct sunlight. Use only distilled or purified water for your lucky bamboo. This type of water reduces the chance of bacteria which can lead to a sour smell.
Lucky Bamboo stalks will not grow taller once they are cut. Over time, the leaves coming off the stalk will gradually develop into stalks themselves. Once a leaf has developed into a stalk, it can be clipped at its base and placed in water to start more bamboo. The "parent" stalk will in turn produce more little lead sprouts. If the lucky bamboo starts turning yellow, remove the infected area.
I hope this information and Lissa's information helps you out.

how do you remove the infected area? I have one of the lucky bamboo plants, and the top part of the stem is turning yellow. I love my plant, and would like to save it as it was a gift from my mom. Thanks for all the help in advance..
Kei.

We had two large stalks of baboo (over 2 ft) that were given to us in a planting. We cut the baboo in half and the placed them in a vase with water. the two stalks that do not have leaves have yet to do anything. one has sprouted roots and the other has not done much. Will these two stalks ever sprout and grow leaves? Suggestions please.
Thanks

I was happy to read that I am not the only one having problems with lucky bamboo turning yellow. I received mine as a gift several months ago and it was doing very good until this weekend. I noticed that one of the stalks is turning yellow. One of the responses was to remove the yellow part. Will that kill the entire stalk? What is the best way to remove it?

*wherever (with E)
Put your bamboo plant by your windo/ out in the sun for 6 hours each day. 3 in the morning 3 in the afternoon. Keep the water level filled half way in the container.

What you are calling" Lucky Bamboo "is not related to Bamboo in any way , it is a commercial gimmick only . The plant is a Dracaena.You can Google info on Draceana grow notes.
