can anyone help me figure out whats wrong with my lucky bamboo? it started to turn yellow which i was told was as from over watering due to following the planta schedule. ive started watering it less and checking the soil before but now the yellow is coming back.  
Is there anyway to save it? 😭

I don't know where you have it placed, but it is sensitive to pretty much any kind of breeze. Like wind, air conditioning, stuff like that

its currently on the back of our toilet where it gets nice and humid which i believed it liked?? maybe its too close to window?

Possibly. It also doesn't like tap water, if that's what you water it with.

ive been watering with purified water

That's good! The only thing I can think of would be the breeze/draft then. But other people may have some more suggestions :)

If over watered, poke holes carefully in the soil with a skewer to help it get air to its bottom to dry up... someone else may be able to share more advise.
