Why is my indoor-bamboo stalk turning yellow?

I've got 3 growing together in a vase surronded by marbels on the bottom. It's got water. 2 of the three have turned yellow moving up the stalk. Both stalks have green leaves that are in good condition. Any ideas?

Why is my indoor-bamboo stalk turning yellow?
They are dying, I have found nothing that will stop this process. Mine started like yours. It is important to remove the ones that are turning yellow-or it will spread to all and kill the other stalk's....
Reply:Its dying. To prevent this in the future you need to clean the bowl and all the rocks about once a month..Also cut off any dead leaves and roots. This will help the bamboo from getting a fungus and it also promotes regeneration of healthy leaves and roots. There is also a fertilizer you can buy at any store that sells bamboo. you just put 10 small drops a week. It will eventually die but doing these steps will help keep healthy bamboo alive longer. Sorry to hear about your bamboo.
