I used one of my plant apps to scan it and this is what I got for what type of plant i don’t have one of these so I’m not sure how to help but I hope it gets better

It looks like it might have root rot as it’s yellowing from the bottom up and unfortunately may not make it try to repot it in a less dense soil and check the roots

#### Raven replied on 2024-07-01

Thank you!

Unless you work with necromancy, I don’t see it coming back. good luck with your boss tho babe yikes

#### Raven replied on 2024-07-01

lol thanks

### max commented on 2024-07-02

oh boy 😭😭 yeah i’m pretty sure it’s a lucky bamboo, probably dead. best bet at this point is to propagate it if your boss is okay with you chopping it up

### send\_nodes commented on 2024-07-02

Buy another lucky bamboo, give it to your boss in a couple weeks, and act like it’s the same one. He/she will think you’re a plant wizard
