How do I handle potting this lucky bamboo? Roots are spouted at each segment. Do I cut this at each section? Do I just pot and bury all of the roots?

Honestly best results from my experience is either semi water or full water to keep them lots of  
People tend to struggle with this plant in soil but I do have a potted lucky bamboo and it appears to be completely berried in the pebbles we have it in

Bury all the roots in a very well draining soil mix would be my suggestion
