Hi guys! I’ve had this bamboo for a couple of years and it’s never had an issue (I believe) until now :( It’s lasted a long time and I was gifted it from the family’s I worked with so I would love to keep it going! Any tips? I’ve been using better water and cut off yellow leaves. I’m not sure if I should trim more? Some of the bits look dead. I’ve never taken the rocks out.

Depending on the set up in the pot (ties/glue/wire) it might be beneficial to take the rocks out and wash the roots and then reassemble. That way you can check for rot or any issues you may not see from the stalks

Thank you! I’ll try that soon

Have you ever fertilized it? If not, plants kept in just water need nutrients, or they will ultimately die from lack of them.

Thank you! I’ll find some I haven’t done that yet

Just start with a dilution
