I’ve been looking to buy some lucky bamboo…

Does anyone have tips on how to care for lucky bamboo? Even the small things will help. Also where can I buy good quality lucky bamboo for a cheap price? (Home Depot or Walmart are examples)

I can’t help with the place to buy because I’m from another country, but as far as the help goes: Lucky bamboo is easy to care for and thrives in various conditions. To care for it properly, keep it in bright, indirect light as too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves and too little light will slow its growth. If grown in water, make sure the water covers the roots but not the entire stalk. Change the water every one to two weeks and use distilled or filtered water, as tap water with chlorine can damage the plant. If it is planted in soil, water it when the top inch of the soil is dry, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Lucky bamboo prefers moderate temperatures and humidity, so try to keep it away from drafts or extreme temperatures. If the leaves turn yellow, it may be a sign of too much sunlight or water quality issues. Trim any dead or yellow leaves to keep the plant healthy and encourage growth.
I got mine as a gift and it wasn’t until I put a grow lite over her that she took off. I only water about once a week and I don’t have anything holding it in place meaning it’s free formed.
I got mine from Lowe’s
i got mine from aldi and potted it in soil and ive had it for about 6 months now! i had it in water at first and one died but they tend to thrive much longer in soil.
They are very easy to care for, they could live in a bowl of water. Mine are in rocks.
