Help, my lucky bamboo is turning yellow. First stalks, now leaves
Comments (1)Place it in diffused sunlight. like room with a window through which sufficient amount of light enters. but remember "not to place it directly in sunlight". Little bit of yellowing is okay as new leaves are coming......See MoreLucky Bamboo leaves yellowing
Comments (3)Too much water. If you have had it four days, you should have watered at most once, if that, if it's in soil. Good re: distilled water, though! :-) I'd also suggest to get it out of any direct sunlight. I keep mine about 25 feet from the south facing window in med to low light. If it's in the original pot, carefully lift it out and see how wet it is. I'd suspect it's sopping wet. And no on the submerging in water! I don't know if that is common practice with this plant grown in water but I maybe take a kitchen shower hose to mine for a quick "shower" lest there be any dust, etc. once every 3 months (?) if that while watering. Otherwise, I try not to even water the leaves when I water....See MoreLucky bamboo - Black spots and yellowing leaves
Comments (4)Hi. You don't have to worry about the black spots on you plant. If the leaves are turning yellow just cut them off. A reason the leaves are turning yellow may be because your plant is getting to much sunlight, or the filtered water you are feeding it is not room temp. Also try spraying your bamboo with filtered room temp water. I don't think you have to transfer it to another big container for the roots to grow. Good luck!...See MoreLucky Bamboo started to turn yellow after cutting
Comments (44)Aside from having turned sideways from your last pic, that looks so much more promising than in your original pic! Go, baby, go! I took this pic for you of a variegated lucky bamboo plant of mine. About a year ago, the 2 stumps on the right were the entire plant. I cut them to use the tops as cuttings. Soon after, the stems to the left started to come up. The stumps never did make new tops, but each grew a new one from the base, just under the surface, as yours is doing. I'll probably cut the stumps to the right off soon at the soil level, now that their destination is clear. The other cool thing this pic shows is that the new trunks to the left are about twice the diameter of the older ones. The rock is there to keep squirrels from digging around in the pot. This whole thing has made me curious if this is what this kind of Dracaena usually does. I've only had this kind for about 4-5 yrs, so there hasn't been time for much experimentation yet. The tops that were removed are doing great in other pots, BTW. No sign of new tops or side branches forming on tham. I've pinched the growth tip from one to see how it responds....See Moregreenjude
