How to Choose and Care for Lucky Bamboo

Q. Is Lucky Bamboo a True Bamboo?

No the association with good fortune that gives so-called "lucky bamboo" its name derives from the use of the plant in Feng Shui.
The real name of lucky bamboo is Dracaena sanderiana. Afficionados of Feng Shui use lucky bamboo as a houseplant, and it is often grown hydroponically: i.e., in a vase with decorative pebbles and water (no soil). Even those not interested in Feng Shui will find lucky bamboo to be a desirable specimen for gardening indoors. Lucky bamboo is relatively easy to care for and has fascinating corkscrew-shaped stems.

Lucky Bamboo is a very low-maintainance
plant.

It can make a great office or house plant, as it prefers an indoor, low-light environment away from direct sunlight. Lucky Bamboo does not need soil or fertilizer to grow. In fact,
...........it will be just fine in distilled
.................... or purified water.
Simply place the plant in about one inch of distilled or purified water. Because Lucky Bamboo is a long-lived plant, even bottled water can create a build-up of salt or minerals in the plant container which can be harmful to the Bamboo.

Are you using tap water from the faucet or bottled spring or distilled water? From what I understand they are sensitive to the chemicals and chlorine in tap water.
Good luck
