Bamboo problems?

i have a potted bamboo plant which i normally keep in my kitchen near the window. its a north facing window so i dont recieve any direct sunlight, just ambient light. i decided to put my plant on my apartment's roof to recieve some sunlight for the day...which resulted in all day. the chlorophyll has seemed to "retreat" into the main stem of the plant turning the leaves to a light green and some spots white. have i damaged the plant?

Yes, this plant should not be placed in direct sunlight. Yes, the plant is "damaged" to some extent.





However, all is not lost!! It will "revive" in your kitchen window. You should add a little liquid fertilizer to the next watering. Your plant could use a little more indoor light (not just north ambient light - you can move it around occasionally). Just don't place it in a "hot" sun place.





Good Luck!!
Reply:Yes, lucky bamboo is Dracaena Sanderiana. It is considered the "ugly duckling" of the dracaena world. Normally when you buy a pot of it, it comes in a little decorative cache pot, which means NO DRAINAGE. Make sure your pot has drainage, and if it doesn't either drill holes in the pot, or change your water that sits in the pot DAILY. Bacteria will grow in the water and cause root rot, which can cause white spotting. Also, draceanas generally don't want full sun but they do need bright light to do well. Regular fertilizing with a liquid soluble fertilizer is needed also. We won't sell lucky babmboo at our nursery, simply because it's definitely not what most stores crack it up to be. I'd recommend a Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily) or Epipremnum/Scindapsus (Pothos). Hope this helps, good luck!
Reply:Yes..but only temporiaily so nurse it back by putting it in your N winder again..and she will love you for leaving her in its N spot.
