Yellowing bamboo

My bamboo plant came in a pot that has rocks resined at the top. I’m unable to see the roots and determine if it’s rotting. Is my plant savable? #LuckyBamboo #helpneeded
Honestly.. I would see if there’s a way to break the resin rocks and get the plant out. Lucky Bamboo need their water fully changed every 1-2 weeks to avoid rot so you’ll definitely need access to the roots! If your bamboo has really rotten roots you should be able to tell by sniffing it (root rot has a gross smell! 🤢) but definitely see about getting your bamboo out of the cramped situation, trimming any rotten roots with thoroughly washed scissors or shears, and maybe even putting them into a clear vase so you can monitor easily.
i’d honestly break the pot and get the plant separated from the rocks. there’s no way to water the plant if the rocks are glued to it
