Bamboo sticks are supposed to be a sign of good fortune and luck. They're also aesthetically pleasing and unique. There are several things you should do to take good care of your bamboo sticks and prevent them from turning yellow or brown, and possibly dying completely. Bamboo sticks are hardy plants, but taking that extra measure will pay off.
Things You'll Need
Bowl or vase
River rocks
Gardening wire
Water
Arrange your bamboo sticks in the middle of a bowl or vase. Place about 2 to 3 inches of river rocks at the bottom to anchor the sticks. Wrap small gardening wire around the arrangement to hold it in place. It should be tight, but not tight enough to cut the bamboo. Fill your bowl or vase with water to cover the rocks. Tap water will suffice as long as it's drinkable. If not, use filtered or spring water.
Keep your bamboo sticks in water at all times. If you use a clear bowl or vase, you'll be able to tell when the water is low.
Change your water weekly. This helps keep the water clean.
Keep the bamboo sticks out of direct sunlight. A small amount of indirect light is fine, but direct sunlight will cause yellowing leaves and eventually kill the plant.
Pluck off yellow leaves when you first notice them. Use your fingers to do this rather than scissors or clippers.
