I recently put liquid carpet deoderizer into my lucky bamboo plant. What can I do to keep it alive? Should I cut the roots off the bottoms?

Brock's Reply:

Remove the plant from its container. Clean the container thoroughly with liquid detergent and water. Rinse the roots and stems of the plant and replace in fresh, clean water. If any part of the stem is damaged or rotted, cut it off with a sharp knife or pruning shears. If the roots are dying back, then cut them from the stems. Keep the plant warm and in bright light. Lucky Bamboo is pretty durable, so it ought to be able to recover from the accident.
