# can anyone help me here and give me advice? :,) this is my brother’s…

_Posted by Marlene on 2024-01-12_

can anyone help me here and give me advice? :,) this is my brother’s bamboo plant that i’ve been taking care of. i’ve repotted the plant about a year ago with rocks i’ve picked up while hiking (and didn’t clean them so i’m assuming that could be the problem?) and since then the leaves been yellow. i try frequently watering it once the water runs low, still been yellow. now i’m thinking about repotting since it looks like the roots are growing. any advice and helpful tips?

Is there enough drainage with those rocks packed in there? I’ve put rocks in and over time one slips out of place and clogs the hole so I keep a bamboo rod around to poke up the drainage hole to move things around and get the water to come out that was trapped and rotting the roots.
