Do I need to fertilize Lucky Bamboo?
Yes, add a diluted houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

What if the roots turn green?
Green roots are a normal part of the plant's growth process in water.

This could be due to several reasons, including overexposure to sunlight, over-fertilization, or poor water quality. Adjust the lighting, reduce fertilizer, and ensure regular water changes.
Brown tips on leaves.
