I got gifted this lucky bamboo?? I’ve never had one and I’ve been out of town and just got home to see it wilting and yellowing. Please someone tell me if it can recover from this and what I can do to be a better bamboo mom😭

Unfortunately the grower crammed a bunch of plants into one pot. Lucky bamboo should have 1 to 2 inches of space around each stalk.

I’d also recommend dividing the stalks into 2 or even 3 pots. When many plants are in the same pot, they’re competing for light, nutrients, and water
