I do not suggest fertilizing and if you do, just use a much-diluted water-soluble Miracle Grow or Peters.
'Lucky Bamboo' isn't bamboo at all. It's botanically know as Dracaena Sanderiana: commonly known as the ribbon plant. It will grow in water like cut flowers.
It grows in 1/2 inch to two inches of water. Change the water every couple of weeks. It is not necessary to fertilize the plant but a diluted water-soluble fertilizer can be used. This plant prefers bright light, but not direct sunlight. Does well in low and fluorescent light.
Use distilled water/or tap that's sits for 24 hrs
chlorine will dissipate but fluoride will kill it.

* Select bamboo plants that are container bound. Unlike other plants, the more crowded the roots, the faster bamboo will grow.
* Water bamboo copiously to promote rapid growth. The more water bamboo receives, the faster it will become established.
