Lucky bamboo leaves turning yellow
Comments (28)Hello! I would like some help & advice on my bamboo plant. This plant was given to me earlier this year, about April. The plant has been growing a lot. I changed the water routinely, and fertilized and the leaves and plant were beautiful and blooming. Last week I changed the pot it was in to a much bigger one since the plant was thriving so well it was on the verge of tiping over since it was huge. I placed rocks in it, and fresh water. Last Friday the plant seemed fine, and then I come to work this morning and the leaves are turning yellow. Mostly on one stalk, but it seems like it's starting on the others as well. There are 6 stalks tied together. I changed the water, cleaned the vase and the rocks and put in distilled water just now. As I changed then, I saw that the stalk by the roots and turning a greenish yellow, but I didn't notice that before. What is going on with my plant? I'm so worried!! What do I do now? I can send more pictures!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!...See More7 Ft Lucky Bamboo/ Dracaena starting to turn Yellow- Help!
Comments (5)Hey, i am having somewhat of the same problem, although my bamboo are half the size of what you got there, I'm sure that they are probably not over watered and doesn't look like over fertilization, there is a chance the soil may be too hot on the inside, or might be to much heat, then again it could be one in a million things. How are they doing now? Have they recovered ?, if so what was the issue?....See MoreNew Lucky Bamboo, yellowing at stalk tip. Please Help!
Comments (10)I solved my issue, mdln. I sliced off the yellowing nodes with a sharp knife.dipped the tips in hot wax. I also have them in only water. (No rocks/gravel) so then there is nothing blocking the pores. Since making this post, I already see signs of new shoots growing. 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 Moreplantomaniac08
