Hi πŸ‘‹ @RadRedsword2 Lucky bamboo can turn yellow if your water has chlorine and fluoride. If your water district use these in gas form you can counteract it by letting your water sit overnight before using it. Plus it puts the water at room temperature which πŸͺ΄πŸͺ΄love πŸ’š. If you want you can find out by going to your water district website, they have to post what’s in your water. Ours doesn’t add fluoride yay, and uses a non gas called chloramide. This chemical is neutralized with fish tank dechlorinating drops which will work for chlorine gas too! So an inexpensive fix!πŸŽ‰ Other reasons for yellowing are too much fertilizer, too much sun or overcrowding roots.
That may be enough light for the summer, but for a north window in the winter it needs to be close to the window.
