that is a really huge pot for that lucky bamboo.. The reason for the yellowing is that because the pot it's in is too big when you water it takes longer for the soil to dry out so that means changes for root rot, soggy stems, yellow and brown tips. Lucky bamboo like small pots p, preferably clay for airation

How do you know if the root is still alive? Or if its truly dead?

which fertilizer is used for lucky bamboo?

how can I plant my seeds do u have tips please

just stop

Do you trim the roots ever when they look really long in water and rock?

Funny how the bamboo in the back is dead

Thanks a lot

Why keep doing things that are unhealthy for your plants to need to bring them back to life? I do everything in my power to keep mine happy & healthy!!

Oh hey! Have you heard about - zrumplina diy aquaponics (google it)? Ive seen some incredible things about it and my mate grew cool fruits with it.

Oy, dumm yanks, its called soil, NOT DIRT, un imaginative freaks.

She's ripping the routs out :)

I just found that out. Afriend brought some by for me to plant sit. I left them on the front porch out of direct sunlight thinking it would be a fine a fine spot. 4 days later they started yellowing. They were NOT HAPPY. I thought that I had ruined them. Nice to know that they will revive. :-)

ok i've had my bamboo for a year now and last week one of the stocks stated turning yellow at the top of the stem and is going down please tell me what's please note I've not done anything new just bottled water, indoors shady sun, and i've only pruned it twice to take off broke leave and that was in august

girlfriend for Valentine's Day. :-D My workplace is NOT even a greenhouse or flower place. But we receive many compliments each time kids & adults arrive at my workplace. It's like stress relief for people to gaze & look at our plants & flowers. If I had a side job, I'd probably be good at running a flower & plant shop or being a party planner, decorator, or personal shopper. Like somebody else said, LuckyBambooExpert has great videos on how to properly grow & maintain lucky bamboo's health.

each side of the panda sculpture. I can be good when it comes to taking care of indoor plants. I have many purple shamrock plants that my co-workers & I have helped sprout into many indoor pots & we give the purple shamrock plants to friends, family, & a few clients who really want one badly. At my workplace, we get lots of compliments on the purple shamrock & lucky bamboos. One time, this guy asked if he could buy a plant I helped take care of out of the many at my workplace for his (cont.)

I have 2 lucky bamboo plants I bought that I put at my workplace. Both of the lucky bamboo plants were bought more than 2 years ago, & they are still healthy & tall. The lucky bamboo plants are fine indoors. I don't put them against the window. I put them on top of filing cabinet called the Panda & Bamboo plant corner. I have a panda sculpture attached to a big tree-like stump on that filing cabinet that is sitting on artificial green astroturf & the 2 lucky bamboo plants are on (cont.)

You keep saying its a house plant, and yet you put it outside and half killed the poor thing :( Mine has been living happily with me for many years now, planted in rocks not soil. Watered always.
