• Use distilled water or bottled water. The fluoride that’s in your tap water will cause the tip of the leaves to turn brown. If you must use tap water, you can eliminated most of the fluoride and chemical from the water by letting it sit 24 hours before adding it to the plant.
• Ensure that your Lucky Bamboo plant is in indirect light. Lucky Bamboo plants does not require a lot of light. Do not put it on a window sill unless you know for sure that direct light does not enter through it.
• Use special fertilize that are specifically made for Lucky Bamboo plants like “Super Green” or “Green Green” plant food. Do not use “Miracle Grow” (It will kill your plant.)
