My lucky bamboo stalk is turning yellow
Comments (5)Welcome to GW. Most of the chemicals in tap water can't evaporate, so that could be part of the issue. No idea how your country purifies water, but ground water picks up minerals as well as whatever humans might add. Do you think the roots getting damaged as they go in/out of the water and rocks weekly? They don't look very long, or plentiful. I was also curious about why one would put a plant under lights at night? Although the sun may not be shining right on it during the day, light coming in from the windows is usually enough to keep a plant like this alive. When I do put my plant outside, I make sure it is in a spot that is shady all of the time. You're right about it burning easily if the sun shines on it. These plants don't usually lead very long lives in water. Like said above, they're not even from a swampy or wet environment. If you can collect rain water, your plant should like that better, whether in just water, or used to moisten soil. I put mine in a regular pot like any other house plant....See MoreLucky Bamboo/ Dracaena sanderiana starting to turn Yellow- Help!
Comments (12)Thank you for your nice compliments. Plant has a lot of meaning to me... Giving to me by my dear Mother, who has now passed. It was just maybe a foot tall when she gave it to me. It fit under the upper kitchen cabinet. Now it has grown to almost 7 ft in height. The stems are flimsy. I have spikes to hold it up. Last night, I cleaned each leaf with water and mild dish soap. Today I gave it new soil and weak diluted miracle gro fertilizer. The roots were red, so I know it's still healthy. Hoping all my efforts does the trick and get Lucky with my Lucky Bamboo not dying....See MoreHelp, 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 cuttings
Comments (1)Fertilizer supplies nutrients, leaves produce food/energy... not the same thing at all. Re-cutting the cutting is not done to "provide new face for roots...". Keep the cutting out of full sun. Providing a moisture tent might help some. Be patient and hope the cuttings weren't dehydrated too much to begin with....See MoreGardener 50au
