Can I take a cutting, say the top 2", put it in some water and have it root? will the bottom 6" grow new leaves? Also, I am very afraid to put it in soil. i have heard good and bad things about it. Have most people had success with it?

I did this for one of my lucky bamboos and so did my daughter, and both plants are doing fine. Use a sharp knife to make a clean cut, and make sure that at least one node is under water. There's also no problem putting them in soil - my two bamboos have been planted for a few months and they're doing great !
