    usually means it’s unhappy, either with watering or sunlight. make sure to use filtered water of some kind and that it’s not getting sunburnt!

      It gets plenty of sunlight, filtered water, and nutrients :(. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve had it for three years and it’s been thriving until recently

      I changed it from living in soil to water, but it was yellowing in the soil to for weeks. I cut off the yellowing parts and the yellow keeps spreading

    I read an article that says if you grow bamboo in water, change it every 8-10 days and clean the container to remove any bacteria. It also said they are sensitive to minerals in tap water.

      Yeah. I think it may be just dying because I've had it for about four years :/
