Please Help!

Post by MelMiao »

Good morning everyone from Queensland, Australia!

I was gifted this Bamboo Plant and the leaves and stem are now turning yellow. Two of the stems are becoming quite thin... does anyone have any advice please on how to bring my plant back to it’s healthy state?

Kind regards
dependable

Perhaps post a picture. Is is planted in ground or in a pot? How long have you had it and when did it start to yellow?

If it occurred over time, it may well be a nutrient deficiency, usually nitrogen. In that case some fertilization would be in order.

Thinning stems makes one suspect it is not bamboo but perhaps instead lucky bamboo? Which isn't bamboo?
