I've had this lucky bamboo in my tank for over a year. It's in hanging baskets near the top and near a window so it gets indirect daylight all day. It seems very healthy and the leaves look great but the stems don't seem to be much if any taller then when i got them. Is there any cause for concern or pruning or anything? Is there some reason the stems don't seem to grow any taller? Any info is appreciated. Novice here...
 
The bamboo honestly looks fine. You could remove any yellow or dying leaves, but from your picture they look fine.

Not sure why they wouldn't be growing. When I first got mine they did nothing for about a month before I noticed any sort of growth.
 
I have had mine for about a year and a half. I haven’t noticed much growth in the stalks, but the leaves have taken off. There’s definitely better growth in the bamboo that don’t have their roots chewed off.
 
Yeah i think they're doing good, just find it odd the stems haven't grown. The ones on the left were added a couple months ago and ordered at the same size as the ones on the right. Looks like really only the leaves have grown on the older ones, which may be normal, i just expected the stems to grow too. But maybe i just didn't know what to expect.
