    We do not usually recommend places to buy things. We only offer information pertaining to gardening. You can check online, or at your local nurseries. They might carry them.

    The main office is in Ohio, but I work for the site from Tennessee.

    This is likely the start of a fungal infection, and can be easy to cure at the early signs. I recommend applying dolomitic lime, and wettable sulfur to the soil. This will kill off the infection, and stabilize the pH back to a more suitable level for the plants.

    Are you referring to mushroom compost? This can be a good additive to your soil build, but alone would not have enough nutrients to sustain vigorous growth. I prefer rabbit manure. This doesn't have to be composted, but can you you would like. You can add this directly to your soil for a quick boost for your plants. It is easy to come by as well... They tend to produce large amounts of it fairly quickly.

    Although I cannot see as much of the plant as I would like... It would appear that this is, what is called, lucky bamboo. If this is, indeed, the case then it will not have the same care as bamboo.

    Bamboo will prefer full sun, while the lucky bamboo (dracaena) will prefer bright, but indirect light. Full sun can scorch the leaves, as seen in these pictures.

    The alternative is a fungal infection, but I can't assume that right off. What kind of soil do you have this planted in?

    I'm using red sand, river sand with vermicomposite.

    This is not a lucky bamboo, this is common bamboo.
