Lucky bamboo, was hoping to save these once I saw them on the clearance rack at the local big box store. Both are located in bathrooms but the larger one doesn’t get as much light as the small one does.  
Stalks have now began to brown and leaves are browning also 😩

Hopeful to bring them back!!!

I recommend chopping off the tops and propagating them ☺️

Of both plants? And would I only chop off the brown portions? Or be sure to leave some of the green stalk on the piece I chop off?

Cutting off the dead stuff would encourage new growth at the topmost node. You can also chop off the tops where they are still healthy and put those in water to develop new roots

Ok, thank you. Do you happen to know what the tops of the stalks on the small one has green wax/plastic?

I’m not sure what this would be for?

That’s where they have been cut previously and whoever cut it use that to seal the top of the plant off to protect it from infection ☺️
