# Hi All, I’ve had this Lucky Bamboo for about 10 months. Transferred…

_Posted by G-unit on 2025-04-08_

Hi All, I’ve had this Lucky Bamboo for about 10 months. Transferred from water to soil about 6 months ago. Can someone help explain why, and how to fix decaying stalks? Happens randomly. From the tip, but slowly the entire stalk will decay and dry out. Really would like to save it if possible.

I recommend cutting the tip as it starts to decay and rot so that way it doesn’t spread down the stalk. I recommend checking on the roots, but it could also be a watering problem. GL!!! :)

It cut it off and check the roots
