Ask the Expert:The tips of my lucky bamboo plant leaves have turned brownish and dry.  I only put distilled water in the pot, mist the leaves, fertilize with the green drops occasionally, and keep the plant on my dining room table under the light fixture, away from direct sunlight. What could cause the brown, dry tips?  Should I cut them off?  Please advise. Thanks very much.

Ask the Expert: Lucky Bamboo Plant too tall.. What is a “node”?

Hello,
You answered an earlier question about trimming down the height of a lucky bamboo plant. I read your reply, but am confused: Just what is a “node”? I am considering trimming my plant but don\’t know where to start. Sent you a picture, maybe that will help. After looking at the pictures, DO I need to trim it down, it measures about 38″ tall from bottom of base to top tip leaf.
Thank You
