Hello, my name is Ivy. I have a big problem on my lucky bamboo. [About a] month ago, it appeared to have a bug problem. Very small, red spiders and other insects that are so so small, they can hardly be noticed. They make the plant leaf turn lighter and slowly kill, and the leaf has sticky oil-like stuff coming out. Please help!!!

Ivy,
You probably have a red spider mite problem. Your local garden center and nursery should have an insecticide that will take care of it, and still be safe for your lucky bamboo. Fertilome has a red spider mite spray in a ready-to-use container. One or two treatments with the insecticide should take care of the problem.
Hope this information was helpful. Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
