I'm confused. Should I keep it in the pebbles it came with? I was thinking of putting it in soil and in a bigger pot.
This is lucky bamboo. This bamboo has seen all sorts of cuties ask me out, it's been there when I got a job offer, and it was there when I felt homesick. I refuse to let it go and want it to become huge.

Bamboo does not have permanent leaves; it sheds at the onset of new growth. If the leaves start to look ragged, cut the foliage down to soil level, and in a few weeks you'll have an abundance of fresh growth.
To protect the roots from becoming waterlogged, fill a plastic saucer with loose gravel and set underneath the pot holding the bamboo. Place both the saucer and pot inside a waterproof, decorative container.
Lucky Bamboo Arrangement
An easy way to add the look of bamboo indoors is with cuttings from Dracaena sanderana, a bamboo look-alike that goes by the name "lucky bamboo." (figure A).
Use a glass container to show off the texture and color of the rocks. Fill the bottom of the container with some river rocks.
Tie a group of Dracaena stems together with an attractive ribbon and place in the center of the container (figure B).
Stabilize with more rocks and add water.
Keep the arrangement out of direct light and change the water every other week.
This site went all "funky" on me-It's at HGTV.
Usually, if it's dying, I'll remove it. Look it over real good first, especially the underside.
