House Plants Lucky Bamboo Garden

What do I do next with my lucky bamboo?

8 years ago

I’ve had this plant for about 5 years. It’s always done really well but lately it’s been looking a little sad. I’ve tryed moving it around and finally tryed planting it in soil but that hasn’t worke. Should I propagate it? Should I plant it back in water? should I trim the roots? Help...

They grow easily from cuttings so you could start again.

They yellow from lack of fertilizer, could that be it?

Maybe. I had never fertilized it until real recently.

You need to leave it be for a while, it's been through a lot of changes, I agree with tropic, take some cutting and start all over, I think you may loose it after potting it directly into soil, check out the bamboo forum here
