Indoor water Bamboo turning yellow?
Got a bamboo plant as a gift with the following instructions.
"keep the roots covered with water and it will thrive" printed on the sheet of paper it came with. The 2 plants are about 10 inches tall and each has one ?stalk? of leaves right near the top. Everything was going fine, until a few days ago one of the two plants started turning pale yellow, in three days it is now 95% yellow and beginning to soften, while the other is still fine showing no sign of yellowing. Before this the stalks with the leaves grew somewhat over the four months I had it which is part of what really puzzles me. It seemed to be doing great for four months then all of the sudden one of the plants turned almost completely yellow within 48 hours I keep them in a 4 inch diameter 3 inch high decorative oriental pot with large glass beads to hold them in place. I keep the water filled and change the water completely every other week as recommended by a person at the local flower shop who has something similar they call "Lucky Bamboo" My plants look similar yet different. I asked them about it and they don't know what to tell me though they assure me I can always cut the bamboo to grow a new plant from the sick?dead? one. Any ideas on if I can save the plant, or should I just cut it to make a new plant? Only the top inch is still green and the leaves seem fine. thanks Wayne |
