My LUCKY BAMBOO's end is turning yellow and I give it drinking water, should I give it some Vitamins?What kind

Question

The Lucky Bamboo is under a lamp does it effect?

Answer 1

The yellowing could be from lack of fertilizer. The Japanese restaurant I work at has a lot of bamboo. Once a month I change the water, and add a very small amount of liquid Miracle Gro. It seems to work well. The lamp shouldn't affect your plant. Good luck!

Answer 2

I bought one 3 yrs ago, since it was getting very tall, I pinched the end of the top to stop it from getting taller; when I asked about the care, they said a little water, no fertilizer, not too much light, and because I like my lucky bamboo, I change the water as needed. It doesn't drink much, requires very little care. Mine also has some older growth that gets yellow, but I think its ok to break off.

Answer 3

OK, first of all, you are NOT giving it too much water unless the leaves are submerged. Bamboo loves lots of water, so that's not the prob. I think a little liquid Miracle Gro and not too much light. The lamp may be drying it out. Keep it in indirect light only. The leaves burn easily. And never get water or fertilizer on the leaves, as this can also burn them. Also, you could try filtered water. Your tap water might have too much chlorine in it, possibly.

Answer 4

I have seen bamboo grow quite large in water only -- no dirt. Change the water often. If you use tap water, leave it in the sun for 24 hours to release some of the chlorine. Or use spring water.

Answer 5

well we can't live on water alone so plants need food too and the earth is not enough so feed it ... lamp post should not bother it

Answer 6
