Mystery Plant in Rocks: Not a Bonsai? Could Be Bamboo

Plant in rocks, 8 stems separated per TV show. Told "just water." Likely Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) or similar hydroponic arrangement—not a bonsai.

Identification

Bonsai = woody tree in soil, pruned for miniaturization.
Rocks + multiple stems + "just water" = Lucky Bamboo or similar.

Care for Lucky Bamboo

Water: Distilled/rain; change weekly; roots submerged.
Light: Bright indirect; no direct sun.
Fertilizer: Very dilute (1/10 strength) monthly.
No soil needed.
