Overwatering?

#### Coop svarade den 2024-03-15

You think? I was thinking underwatering because it seems to be drying out.

Removing it from the substrate, cleaning the roots, and moving it to water would be the best option, cut off the yellow part. Sometimes bamboo does better in water than in substrate.

Ok, thank you for that advice!

I’m no expert so someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but to me it looks like lucky bamboo which contrary to its name isn’t actually a bamboo but part of the Dracaena family and can easily be overwatered which I only just found out recently. Looking at the picture and the yellowing to me it looks like it’s overwatered
