# Seeking advice about this lucky bamboo I have here; it’s been doing…

_Posted by planty on 2024-11-27_

Seeking advice about this lucky bamboo I have here; it’s been doing fine for about a year in this pot, however, I think I left it out near my window for too long and it got too much sun exposure? It started getting better at first after I removed it from the window, but I think it’s getting worse now and I don’t know what the black dots are. Any help appreciated!

Block dots is usually fungal. And should be treated with a fungicide. And check the roots for any rotting. And sanitize the pot

I had the same issue, unfortunately there was no way of reversing it. You can however cut the stem of leaves and pop it into some water and it will grow roots. Make sure to change water weekly.
