Ask the Expert:  My bamboo house plant has bugs swimming in the water. I have cleaned the water and all the stones and the bugs still return. Please help! Suzanne

Plant Expert Rely:

The bugs probably layed eggs on the lucky bamboo before you cleaned the container and rocks.  Clean the container and rock with soapy water and rinse thouroughly and then take a clean wet cloth and gently wipe each lucky bamboo stem.  This should remove any eggs that are left.  Hopefully this will take care of the problem.  If it doesn't you may need to use some insecticial soap.  Good luck and keep me posted.
