Answer 1

Plant them in soil. That's what I did to mine and it saved them. They have never looked better. Just plant them in a self draining pot in potting soil and keep them in bright indirect light. Water them only when the soil starts to really dry out. Mine are a healthy deep green color now. Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Separate it out and nurture it by itself. You only need to fill the water up just to cover the rock. It need plant food (the liquid one) once every month, just a couple drops. Do not use tap water, the chlorine will kill it. Use well water or bottle drinking water only. Give it some sun light once in a while.

Answer 3

This one is easy! Instead of using water fresh from the tap, let the water stand overnight then use it to water your bamboo. Your bamboo is very sensitive to the chemicals (like chlorine) used in most tap waters. Letting it disapate for 24 hours will usually stop this from happening! Hope this helps you!

Answer 4

I think that your luck has ran out !!!!...j/j. Try and run the whole shoot under room temperature water, clean out whatever you have it growing in, I honestly do not think that it will spread to the other shoots, if it keeps getting worse then dispose of it ...and make sure that you only use room temperature water.

Answer 5

The water level is to high

Answer 6

i agree, I think you are over watering it.

I water mine when I think about it...I think once every 2 weeks!??! Mine is 3 years old.
