My lucky bamboo is starting to turn yellow?

I had my lucky bamboo for about 3 weeks now, and for awhile now, one of the 4 stalks have slowly been turning yellow. It is the smallest of the stalks. Also, one of the biggest stalks have one leaf that is yellow, but that is it. I grow it in the container I got it in (a glass jar with a bunch of pebbles in it), and fill the container with tap water whenever the water level goes below the surface (the plant instructions said u could grow it in water, so i assumed that bamboo like a lot of water). I also grow it in partial sunlight. It faces the window, however, I put it on a short stand so that my bed takes away a lot of the sunlight.





Is my bamboo turning yellow because the glass container leaves no room for the roots to grow? Is the water causing root decay? Should I water it with filtered water?....I thought that would be bad, because purified water doesn't have any minerals in it.





Please help me restore my bamboo, and tell me further instructions of daily care





thank you

Bamboo likes lots of water, but some kinds of water aren't very good, city or processed water shouldn't be used. Rain water is the best kind of water to give water plants, well water the second best kind. U should not use tap water that comes from a processing station of any kind, or that goes threw a water softener or other kind of filter in your house. These processes add chemicals to the water that can harm pants.


Also bamboos aren't ment to grow in glasses for very long so it will probably die eventually anyway.





Also give it some more light, it can't hurt. If you can't find well water or rain water, try bottled spring water.
Reply:Get it out of the sun. Let your plant receive only indirect sunlight and give it a weak solution of plant food. I go to a Chinese restaurant where their Bamboo plant is no where near an open window and it flourishes.
Reply:The yellow stalk is dead, get it out if you can,it is spreading bacteria to the healthy part. Change the water every week, let it sit under the faucet with the water running into it. That should bring up any dead root. You can take it out of the container and trim back the roots, only once a year. Buy some Lucky Bamboo fertiliser, and put it in fresh water once a week.That is what it is called,you can buy it at any nursery.Don't use cold water, only warm. It should get east facing sun. They like morning sun. Every thing else sounds OK. But remember to change the water every week. Mine is in water in a glass container for so many years, I forget how old it is. Maybe at least 10. Yeah, I guess it will eventually die.
Reply:Too much water
