Bamboo rotting!?!?

I received bamboo in a bouquet about two weeks ago. I've changed the water about every other day (and it gets really stinky by then), but it looks like the bamboo is rotting. I threw out all of the other flowers, in case that was part of the issue but they are still just getting worse. The leaves have small brown spots on them, and the stalks have long brown streaks. One of them also has some black spots that look like rot. The only thing in the vase is the three bamboo shoots, water, and some rocks in the bottom. It is in my office that gets no direct sunlight (which I've heard is good for bamboo). Any ideas?

Bamboo is very sensitive to over watering. Try less water.

It sounds like you are changing out the water way too much. I have a Bamboo in water and never change the water. I let it go down and then add a little more about once a week. This type of Bamboo that stays in water doesn't need a lot of attention. I try and give mine a little sunlight as Bamboo does like some light. You may want to consider changing the location in your office or bringing it home and trying it with a little sunlight.
