# I’ve had my lucky bamboo for a little more than a year. When I first…

_Posted by Katherine on 2023-12-24_

I’ve had my lucky bamboo for a little more than a year. When I first got it after about a week one of the stocks went yellow starting from the bottom and I cut it off. Then I got a grow light and the plant seemed fine after that. The plant thrived for a while and got tall. Then a few of the leaves went yellow recently and another stock went yellow starting from the bottom. So I repotted the plant with new soil in a different pot. I trimmed the roots a bit because they took the shape of the old one. All the roots seemed healthy though. I took out the yellow stock and what was left of the old one that died. I also pruned the top of it. I’ve been making sure it gets enough water. More leaves have been turning yellow and I keep cutting them off. Now some of the stocks are turning yellow from the top. Please help, does anyone know what’s wrong with my plant?

Also the pot has drainage, I use bottled water to water it, and this picture is of the temperature and humidity in the room it’s kept In.
