From their website:
Our EcoAquariums are balanced, self-contained, self-filtering and self-cleaning ecosystem environments. All of the parts of the aquarium play a vital part of that environment. Below are explanations of all of the integral elements of your EcoAquarium.
Bamboo
Wild Creations utilizes Chinese lucky bamboo (Dracaena Sanderiana) in our EcoAquariums™ and decorative arrangements because of the remarkable little care it requires. Lucky bamboo also has a long and rich history. Giving and receiving lucky bamboo is an ancient tradition, dating back thousands of years. According to Asian folklore, lucky bamboo was given to loved ones and friends during times of celebration. It has lasted the trials of time and stand still today as a symbol to enhance the flow of energy, otherwise known as feng shui.
In a technical role, the lucky bamboo inside our EcoAquariums is meant to provide valuable services to your system, such as oxygenation and photosynthesis. It is acting as a natural aerator for the aquarium, so no external one is needed. The lucky bamboo stalk also will not get any larger and outgrow your EcoAquarium. Its leaves will grow but can be peeled back or trimmed as needed. Also, you can trim the roots as they grow, though you should always leave short stubs at the end. Aside from that, because they are always submerged in water, there is no additional care needed.
Our decorative lucky bamboo arrangements also require very little care. The bamboo only needs to be placed in water at all times (any water is fine because it is not a functional part of the EcoAquarium) and requires very little light to thrive. Every few months, you can treat your bamboo to a good diluted bamboo, bonsai, or indoor fertilizer. The stalk will not grow any longer, and leaves can be peeled back or trimmed as necessary. It is important never to cut or scrape (wound) your bamboo stalk, as this could cause the whole stalk to become ill and die. When this happens, the stalk will become very yellow and brown and will often smell rotten. If it does happen, it needs to be removed immediately so that it does not infect any other nearby bamboo stalks. The water also should be changed.
Note that lucky bamboo included with our EcoAquarium and bamboo arrangements are new and often will be light green and have short leaves. After being in your home or office for a while, however, they will become a dark, rich green and pleasantly lush. You can expect your bamboo to last as long as you provide water, care and love.
