How do you take care of bamboo sticks besides keeping it in water?

Question

I was given a couple of bamboo sticks, (some believe it's good luck) and I was instructed to keep it in water at room temp, which I do. But the tips if the leaf part is turning brown, when I see them around at stores and shops there green to the tip, what should I exactly be doing to make sure the leaves are green again and stay that way?

Answer 1

They do well in a glass container with tiny rocks and water out of direct sunlight.

Answer 2

Just water.  But, make sure it gets light, but they don't like direct sunlight.  A little browning of a leaf is okay - leaves die and new ones come.  Plants in the store look all green because they trimmed off the brown parts.

Answer 3

idk wat to tell you. they should be growing fine. but i did hear that it u cut an inch off it will work

Answer 4

I'm not saying that you are not lucky, but when it turns to a different color that's what it means, but you never know, maybe it is set in a wrong area in the house. Try moving it around. To be honest, if you move the plant to the right area, it will grow more.
