1. Remove the lucky bamboo stalks from their container. Take the lucky bamboo from its container and remove any wire that’s holding the stalks together. Gently comb through the roots with your fingers to separate them, and then separate all the stalks.
Lucky bamboo often comes with wire holding the stalks together, but the wire can damage the plant, so it’s best to remove it.

2. Choose a healthy stalk with a long offshoot. The parent stalk should have at least 2 nodes, which are the lines separating the lucky bamboo stalk into segments.[3] Once you’ve identified the healthy, long stalks, look for a good offshoot. The offshoot should be 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) long, and should be dark green and growing from 1 of the upper nodes.

3. Trim off the offshoot. Use a sharp knife or pair of small pruning shears to carefully cut the offshoot from the parent stalk. Trim the offshoot as close to the stalk as possible. Then, use the shears or knife to trim off an additional 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) from the bottom to make a straight cut

4. Remove the bottom sets of leaves.Use your fingers to gently peel off the bottom sets of leaves from the cutting. Leave at least 1 set of leaves at the top intact. Removing the bottom leaves will redirect the plant’s energy to producing roots

5. Place the cutting in a jar filled with distilled water. Fill a mason jar or other glass jar with 4 inches (10 cm) of distilled or bottled water. Put the cutting in the water with the cut end in the bottom of the glass. The cutting shouldn’t be completely submerged. If you have more than 1 cutting, you can put them all in the same jar.

It’s important to use distilled or bottled water, because these don’t contain chlorine, which will damage the bamboo.

If you want to use tap water, pour the water into the jar and let it sit for 24 hours to let the chlorine break down before putting in the cutting.

6. Place the cutting in indirect sunlight for a month. Transfer the cutting to a bright location that’s protected from direct sunlight. As the cutting sits in the water, it will begin to grow roots of its own. Eventually, you’ll be able to plant or grow the cutting as its own plant. The rooting process will take about 30 days
