What A Lucky Bamboo Wants

Ask the Expert: re Lucky Bamboo
Hello I have just purchased 3 Lucky Bamboo .
Two questions I have for you…
1) Mine has root “hairs” coming out not only at the bottom of the stem but on a couple of places further up the stem….so should I put in sufficient water to cover up to the highest roots on the stem.
2) My container is a tall blown glass vase bulbs at the bottom …then waisted….then flared out at the top. The 3 stems are well supported but do they need stones/marbles/glass beads or semi precious i.e. rose quartz…for food or energy value? Thank you for reading this. Rose.

Ask the Expert: Lucky Bamboo stem has turned black!
Hello, I have had a lucky bamboo plant for about 9 months and I have some questions. 1) Several months ago, one of the stalks began turning yellow and has since turned black. I am fairly sure it’s dead, but have been worried about removing it as the rest of the plant seems more or less ok. Should it be removed and if so, is there a way to do this without disturbing the rest of the plant? There has even been new growth which was a very pleasant surprise! 2) I have noticed that one of the stems seems to have a dry, yellow top. I’m not sure if I should cut this one and where? 3) Finally, if I am cutting and removing damaged stems, would this be a good time to re-pot the entire plant? Is it too cramped in the small, decorative vase? And would this be the cause of the yellow tips on some of the leaves? Please help this wonderful little plant. I’m usually terrible with plants, but this little plant seems to keep living even depite of me! Thanks in advance! Grace

Trouble With Lucky Bamboo Potted In Soil

Ask the Expert: please tell me how to save my lucky bamboo
I live in the Caribbean and approx seven months ago, my mother gave me a soil potted lucky bamboo/dracaena sanderiana plant(which I fell in love with and have become attached to) as an additional wedding present. It was looking so healthy and growing tall (almost 5ft). However, the tips of the leaves started to turn brown so i assumed it outgrew the pot which it had come in, so I asked my husband who by the way normally has green thumbs, to help me to re-pot it. Since the new pots were not much larger than the old, we decided to attempt to separate the plant in two. The roots were tightly intertwined so we had to cut a few. For a few days after, the plants looked normal but a week later the leaves started to turn yellow first then brown. My husband thinks that our plant might be going through the shock of transplanting but honestly my heart is breaking to see it suffering. I pray that we haven’t killed my plants. Please help me to save them. I’ve been reading alot but haven’t come across any info about others in my situation. Any assistance from you would be greatly appreciated as I am presently in a state of panic. Thank you in advance. Miriam
