Hi, I moved recently and my lucky bamboo plants were left outside by the movers and in all the confusion I didn't find them for 2 days. The leaves are burnt out by the sun and very pale. It does not look healthy. Can confirm that if you have a group of stalks that start to yellow, put them in a sunnier location and they will green up again.
They also love a bathroom for the humidity. Didn't know new plants could be rooted from clippings - I'll try that. I grow mine in water exclusively, with gravel or stones. While it's easy to change water every couple weeks, the roots get extremely bundled up in gravel once they get older and it's not feasible to clean the substrate. You'd have to replace it every time, so just replacing the water is usually enough. I don't mind some algae in a clear container but I keep them in all sorts of different pots, some clear, some not.
Often, if one stalk yellows suddenly, the entire group will die fast thereafter. I've had many groups that live for several years, yet others don't make it more than a year. But since they are inexpensive, I just replace as needed. I had what resembled bamboo in my back yard where there were 22 trees. These came back every year, took over the back yard and had really pretty purple flowers.
Do you know what that would be? I have moved and would love to find some. Its has begun to get yellow leaves lately? Why yellow leaves?? Please help! I am saddened that it quickly turned two of its leaves dead. I shifted back to the water. It is OK now. With two leaves lost. Never, ever plant bamboo in your yard.
It grows everywhere, quickly A neighbor quite a distance away thought it looked nice. Thanks for the great lucky bamboo article. Not good! Back to the little one. Any advice?
Thanks again! Once those new shoots get to be about inches long you can cut them off from the stalk and place them in a separate glass of water. Snip or pull off any leaves that fall below the waterline or they will rot. Put the glass in a bright location out of direct sun. Change the water weekly to keep it fresh. It takes about a month for the cuttings to develop their own roots, then you can place them in their own vase with pebbles or pot them up in soil. I loved your information on the Lucky Bamboo plant I just received one recently as a gift.
How wonderful to have all the care instructions right on time! Found in tropical rainforests in southeast Asia and Africa, lucky bamboo is not a large plant even in its native habitat. While this is partly due to competition for nutrients and light, even under the best conditions, a lucky bamboo plant rarely grows more than five feet tall. Individual leaves are typically about nine inches long at maturity. Change the water at least every two weeks. Scrub the container clean and replace any pebbles, glass chips or marbles with fresh pieces.
Use room temperature water and avoid tap water, which may have chlorine or fluoride in it. An opaque container will cut down on problems with algae. Share article on Facebook Share article on Pinterest.
