Water and Yellowing Lucky Bamboo Leaves and Stalks One of the first culprits to investigate for yellowing leaves or stalk is the water.
Never use cold water. Use water that is room temperature. Another big reason your leaves are turning yellow could be lack of water or nutrient deficiency.
If the leaves as well as the bamboo stalks of the plant are slowly turning yellow, this could be a plausible sign of over fertilization. The leaves may also turn yellow due to injury caused by plucked leaves, broken stems, vigorous pruning, damage from pets, or from extreme heat or cold. These plants need bright but filtered or indirect light, such as when placed on a table next to a sunny window. If you place the bamboo under direct sunlight, then it may be susceptible to sunburn, causing the leaves to turn yellow.
Most indoor water sources are rich in chlorine, which can cause the leaves of the lucky bamboo plant to turn yellow. However, if chlorinated tap water is the only source of water for your lucky bamboo plants, you can still use it by dissipating the chlorine.
