Can You Trim Lucky Bamboo Roots?

Ask the Expert: Lucky Bamboo
I know you can restart new plants by cuttings, but I have a fairly large plant in water and not knowing about the water depth thing, the roots are tremendous.  Can I trim away some unneeded roots????  Candy

Yes, you can trim excess roots from your lucky bamboo.  Just trim the roots the same way you do your hair from the ends back to the stalk.  I don’t trim the roots off completely.
