Q: Can I cut the leaves?
A: Yes, but we recommend plucking off the yellow leaves off as soon as possible
rather  than cutting since it leaves cut marks.

Q: How do I make it grow faster?
A: Keep it in an elevated spot. Warmer rooms such as rooms upstairs have more
heat since heat rises. But if it's too hot like leaving the package in your cars for a
couple of days will make it wilt.

Q: Can I revive dying bamboo?
A: You can revive wrinkling bamboo. Wrinkling happens when a healthy plant
doesn't receive enough water through it's roots. Just place it a tall glass or pitcher
of water for a couple of days. You can also save a plant by plucking the yellow
leaves. However, if the stalk is yellowing best to remove it and get another.

Q: What causes yellowing?
A: If the plant is exposed to too much sun even once in it's life time it will turn yellow.
During the winter if it is kept in extremely cold water it will turn yellow. If it is infected
it will turn yellow. Room temperature is the safest.

Q: Do bamboo plants grow roots, branches and spread out and take over
your house?
A: The Lucky Bamboo does grow roots but it will not take over your house. The
growth of real bamboo is hard to control. Luckily, this kind of bamboo is a stick that
will only grow a few inches of roots and sprouts.

Q: Will my lucky bamboo stick grow curly?
A: Lucky Bamboo actually only grows straight and does not grow curly or wavy at all.
The bamboo farmers have to lay them on a huge long table in a greenhouse, cover
3 sides in the dark, one side has bright light and let them naturally grow towards the
light, and manually rotate them occasionally; more work, more curl, more expensive.
It takes the farmers an average of 1.5 years to make one curl.

Q: Can I get the bamboo plant stick to curl?
A: Yes, (make sure you have time for this) you can do this yourself and make it curl
like farmers do. The stick is not going to grow any longer but the leaves will grow
towards the light.

Q: Will the bamboo plant sticks grow taller?
A: No. All the sticks receive special treatment when they have reached the shape
and length needed. They only keep growing green leaves and stay green in either
water or soil.

Q: Can I plant them in soil or grow them outside?
A: This type of Bamboo cannot grow outdoors. It gets sunburn easily and the leaves
will turn yellow and eventually die. You can try planting them in soil but it is not
necessary. If you do decide to plant them in soil, remember to always keep the soil
damp.

Q: Can you eat Lucky Bamboo?
A: No. The lucky bamboo plant arrangements are not meant for human
consumption. Their purpose is to bring beauty and decorum to your home and
office. And hopefully bring you some luck and money.

Q: What do I do when the leaves or stems turn yellow?
A: If the leaves turn yellow, cut those off or it will affect the rest of the plant. Then
take out the bamboo arrangement out of the container and rinse the rocks, the
container, and the roots of the bamboo and put everything back together, then add
fresh water with a few drops of Green Green plant food. If the stems turn yellow, it is
too late for that stalk. Please remove it and buy another stalk to replace it.

Q: Can I cut the leaves or the sprouts off?
A: You can break off the sprout and place them in a different container and try
growing them (sometimes this works but sometimes they die). The leaves will grow
back on a different spot.

Q: How much light does the Lucky Bamboo need?
A: As long as it is not in direct sunlight, it is fine. The lucky bamboo can thrive in an
office that has no windows and only the light that you turn on when at work.

Q: Does Lucky Bamboo cause diseases? What about the Tiger mosquito
outbreak?
A: A few years back when Lucky Bamboo was imported from Asia on ship, they were
shipped in containers with water. The tiger mosquito eggs were in this water. But
due to extreme regulations, Lucky Bamboo is shipped in a gel like substance. Then
they are carefully checked and washed several times to make sure no signs of the
Tiger mosquito are present. If you are still worried about it, just submerge the plant
in warm water.

Q: Is it true that it's unlucky if the leaves turn yellow?
A: Yes, but only for the Lucky Bamboo. :) When the leaves starts to turn yellow
it could be because it's exposed to the sun, lack of water or dirty water. When the
stalks turn yellow you must remove the stalk at once since that individual stalk plant
may be infected. This is why growing it in water is better than growing it in soil. You
can clean rocks, you can't clean soil.

Q: How lucky is Lucky Bamboo? Are there any examples?
A:  First remember, man made luck and heavens luck are two different types of luck.
Heavens luck is your fate due to the time of your birth. Man made luck, is the luck
you derive from hard work, timing, brains and prayers. Lucky bamboo is said to help
accelerate your man made luck. The more you have, the more acceleration you get.
You don't have to believe it now, but from personal observation and business
experience, having Lucky Bamboo around has accelerated sales and cash flow to
the individual. Whether one is profitable one, has to have the brains to make it
happen.
