Algae on our lucky bamboo - How to fight it?

Hi all!

Our lucky bamboo has algae on its roots. They are green and slimy. I
admit that we did not change the water in the bowl regularly. Is that
the only cause. Who can help?

Lucky Bamboo is not a bamboo.

You should check on some of the other garden group for help.

You may not like this suggestion, but to stop algae growing, you could try excluding light from the roots.

Green light would be ok though.

Go to your pond store and get a product called "Algae-fix", that
guarantees to be safe for plants and fish. Believe it is made by Aquarium
Pharmacuticals. I use it in all my ponds and fish tanks. Local garden
center, even Walmart may carry it.
DO NOT use "ALGAE DESTROYER" ,liquid of tablets.!!!!! That is a
universal herbicide and will kill everything.
