My bamboo plant keeps dying. Why?

Question

I bought Bob (my bamboo) a couple months ago. There were three stalks, and they were all doing wonderfully when I was living in Louisiana, but when I moved here, they just started to die. I didn't change how I was watering them, and I kept them in the kitchen because the instructions said to make sure it gets sunlight, but don't keep it there for long amounts of time. 

(Bob is one of the "Lucky Bamboo" things that are supposed to twist around eachother, but now there's only one stalk, and it doesn't have anything to twist around. :( )

probably the answer is that the humidity/temperature/"wind" has changed and u were now effectively watering bob too little, but since he (she?) has lost a few limbs/brothers/sisters (sob sob), he/she (or what's left is getting enough)

bamboo is not an aquatic plant. If you submerge it completely under water it will die. Make sure to keep it mostly out of water and it should survive.

Bob's kind come from Eastern Asia (China). where your living the climate is probably different. look up somewhere how to make a China like environment. and i don't mean pagodas, a great wall and stuff like that
