I’m starting to panic just a little bit because my lucky bamboos stem has started to really wrinkle and the leaves are browning at the tips. Does anyone have anything on this? I don’t know what to do. Is it just under watered?

Brown leaf tips is often an indication of not enough humidity. If you're growing it hydroponically there should always be water in the container and you should use distilled, filtered, or rainwater. If it's growing in soil should be kept evenly moist to a little dry.

The roots had a very (sharp?) yeah sharp smell to them but I’m not sure how plant roots are supposed to smell like

mine did this when the roots started to rot a bit. i have mine in water tho so i just washed the container and took as many roots with rot off as possible and sprayed them down with water and peroxide.

The Roots don't look too bad. You might try soaking them in some garlic water. Chop up two cloves of garlic skins and all and soak them in about 300 or 400 ml distilled water for about 30 minutes. Strain out the garlic and then soak your roots in that liquid for about 30 minutes. Garlic is a natural fungicide and antibacterial. After you soak the roots replant it and then use the garlic water every now and then when you need to water. Does your pot have drainage? Even though Lucky bamboo will grow hydroponically, when it is grown in soil it should be kept only slightly moist. If there's no drainage the bottom soil is probably too soggy.

Thank u so much! I will definitely do that. It’s grown semi hydroponically so there’s no soil. Thank u so much
