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.
