Hello everyone,
I just bought two small dwarf bamboo plants at a local grocery store. Both plants are very dry and about 90% of the leaves are completely dried out, but the rest are green. Could someone please recommend a good method to bring them back? (I would like to keep them as houseplants- too cold to plant outside).
Thanks!

What is your location? If it gets too cold for them outside why would you consider planting them? [After all, When winter returns you would simply have to move them...]
Can you post a picture? I have no idea if you mean Nandina, or lucky bamboo {I am assuming it is the latter considering the vendor.}
Difficult to diagnose without knowing what were talking about.
If it is lucky bamboo, It can exist in plain water so dry is not a good thing.
We need more info

Hi, Y!
Thanks for responding. Sorry, I must have messed up what I meant to say- I want to keep them as houseplants, not take them outside! Sorry, my head was still confused b/c all I have found on the internet is how to care for outdoor bamboo.
Anyway... I'm sorry, my digital camera is down, but I found a picture on Google that shows what the leaves look like:

Just picture a tiny plant with those types of leaves in a 4 inch pot.
If you need any more info, please let me know.
Thanks!

There are around a 1000 species of bamboo.
Can't speak for other members but I know nothing about bamboo.
- Sorry
