My Bamboo Plant is in a water vase so it isn't getting any nutrients. And I'm wondering if there is a place where you can buy a certain liquid to put in the vase or anything else?

Hey there! I've got some lucky bamboo of my own. I've kept it alive for a couple years now just with water alone. However, if you would feel better feeding it there are a few ways you can do this.
You might try giving your bamboo a small amount of african violet fertilizer. Some good brands to try are Schultz ($5.99 from Ace Hardware) or Miracle Gro ($4.39 from http://www.Yardlover.com These both come in liquid form so you'll just have to add a drop every now and then to the water your bamboo is in. Keep in mind that if you feed your bamboo too much, it's going to grow quite a lot and you'll have to transfer it to a different container.
Another option is to give your bamboo plant a couple drops of aquarium plant food each week. Try API Leaf Zone aquarium plant food, which you can get for $5.73 from Linens 'N' Things.
Some other tips you might want to keep in mind:
Hope these tips help you keep your bamboo healthy!

Some other tips you might want to keep in mind:
- Keep your bamboo in a spot where it recieves low indirect sunlight. Bamboo generally grows in thick, shady forests so too much sunlight can dry out your bamboo.
- Give your bamboo either filtered or spring water, as heavily fluoridated water can cause your plant to yellow. Or, for an extra healthy plant, try adding some old/dirty aquarium water from your fishtank.
- Empty and refill the water about once a week.
Hope these tips help you keep your bamboo healthy!
