Where do you get fertile soil? Please don't tell me I have to buy a giant bag of that stuff from home depot.
Are all plants different for watering?
This has roots. In fact it has lived longer than any other bamboo plant i've heard of and is bigger. It's double its size in over a year. I seriously spent time cleaning the rocks with filtered water once a week and water it every day. I'm scared that taking it out of the plant each time to clean its rocks might have hurt it.

I moved it outdoors (sick of watching the pain) and forgot about it. It caught a lot of rain water and fooled me into thinking it would come back. It didn't. So, don't feel too bad.
Plant by heater-If you get it away from dry air and direct light, you will help it immensely. If the roots are still alive, it SHOULD come back. Some plants are so fussy, you have to MIST them...not for me.
I'll see what I can find.

Edited here...We are BOTH guilty of murder! The water is to be changed every three days. It roots easily. This plant is steeped in tradition. It passes happiness to the receiver. You are supposed to take a cutting to pass along once it has roots. Then you can plant it in rich, fertile, loamy soil. Do you have roots? Are they firm and not squishy? If so, it might rebound.
