There are lots of ways to take care of the lucky bamboo. One of the methods I have used for myself and found to be really effective are:
1. Pure water
The water in the pot needs to be replaced with fresh, clean water once a week and the little pot should be scrubbed to prevent calcium or mineral deposits from building up on the edge of the pot and on the plant stem.
2. Pruning and propagating
The plants may be pruned to a more manageable and attractive size, taking care to make a clean cut just above the leaf bract.
3. Trimming of toes
It's okay to take the plant out of the water, gently remove the gravel it has embraced, and then prune back the root system. Keep in mind that you only want to do this during the "dormant" growing season which, in the Pacific Northwest, begins about mid-October when deciduous trees begin to lose their leaves.
4. Yellow streak
Lucky Bamboo should not be placed in direct sunlight. Diffused outdoor light is best. If you notice the leaves yellowing, immediately examine for diseases or pests.
