Audrey saw tiny bugs swimming in her lucky bamboo water. She emptied, rinsed marbles, refilled—bugs returned next day. Asked if repeated rinsing would eliminate them.
Will Creed: Long-term water culture causes stem/root rot. Bugs live inside rotting tissue. Weekly water changes prevent this, but once bugs are inside, they're hard to eradicate.
Move lucky bamboo (actually Dracaena cuttings) into small pots with soil after ~1 year. Soil-grown roots absorb nutrients better, grow more vigorously, and usually resolve bug issues.
