How can I save my bamboo plant once the stalk has turned yellow?

The top of the plant is still green, even has new green leaves coming in, but the stalk is yellow and is now getting black stripes on it.

I assume you have a "Lucky Bamboo"? You put it in a vase of water. This plant is actually a type of Dracaena, not a true bamboo. If the bottom part of the stem is going yellow you can help the remaining live portion last a little longer. You need a sharp pair of hand pruners or a really nice sharp kitchem knife. Cut off the bottom yellow part of the stem and a little bit (1-3cm) of the green stem...so that water can flow into the healthy tissue.


Add 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to the water, and try to refresh the water once weekly. Good luck!
Reply:I think you need to talk to someone at a good nursery. Bamboo is tricky. If it is getting black stripes on it, it may be black bamboo which is very pretty. The stalks (culms) turn black but the leaves stay green.
Reply:is it in water or in soil, if its in water, you have to trimt the roots
