hey! new to the plant world and had a few questions, i just bought my first lucky bamboo plant from the clearance section at lowe’s today (hince the brown tops) and am hoping to nourish her back to great condition. after some research i decided to go with the gravel/pebble/water route rather than soil… any tips on changing the water or just the plant in general?

It looks fine. I just add water when mine gets low. I’ve had it for about 10 years. Be forewarned it’ll grow really tall. Mine got so leggy that I had to trim them and re-root them.

oh my goodness! I’m hoping mine gets a little taller, the first night I had it it sucked up half of the water in the pot probably rlly thirsty lol. But again thankyou for the comment! should I trim off those brown tops or just leave them there?
