Got around to treating this little lucky bamboo victim of neglect. Anyone else hate the way big box stores just glue down all the little rocks? Cleaned him up and gave him a new pot. Filled the bottom with large river rocks, then clay beads around the roots and cactus soil on top... layered with sand on top and jade rocks. Gave him a nice cold soft shower (Learned this technique in Hawaii this summer! Hope it works!) anyone have any tips?

Oh my gosh I did the same. I can’t believe they glue the rocks on like that I almost thought she was gonna have to die there.
