Can a Lucky Bamboo be Rescued?  | |  I was given a Lucky Bamboo house plant which was not so lucky for the plant because my fingers are far from green.
I watered it from the tap and the leaves have gone yellow I now know that I should not have used tap water and I have replaced the tap water with bottled water but was I too late?
When the leaves have started to turn yellow - is there any chance of the plant living?
Also, should I pull off the yellow leaves or cut off the shoots with the yellow leaves?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have seen a report that you should have a filter for your faucet so the chemicals won't harm the plant.I also got a tip from an expert gardner.If you dont have a filter you can go to the tropical fish store and buy instant water conditioner .It works very well.If you use water conditioner make sure you just get the conditioner and not the kind that has stuff for slime coating.just soemthing to dissolve the chemicals

| | 2.  kiiizu (1479) | 3 years ago |  I found a good site about lucky bamboo - http://www.chiff.com/a/lucky-bamboo.htm, and it links to other sites too. I needed it myself also, the tips of the leaves of my plant are going yellow also and dry out. I guess it is getting too much direct sun light...
