I have a bamboo plant in water that I bought last year in a Chinese

OK, this is probably what they are calling "lucky bamboo." It was really
lucky for the guy who started marketing this stuff.
It isn't bamboo, it is Dracaena marginata or something similar. It normally
grows in the ground but can make a nice house plant. Yours is growing in water
held up by rocks or marbles. It has a maze of roots by now, why not take it
out and put it in a well draining potting soil, being careful not to break the
roots. Then treat it like a regular house plant, using a liquid fertilizer
from time to time.
