I can’t keep plants alive for anything. Seriously. Plants labeled as “un-killable” are gone in a matter of months under my care. Which is a shame, because I care. My lovely Lucky Bamboo plant on my desk at the office has developed yellow stalk. Too much water? Not enough water? The wrong kind of water?
When purchased, I didn’t check to see if the rock setting was all the way through, but I assumed so which was a mistake. Turns out there was soil under them! With my loving water schedule, the soil remained over saturated and soggy leading to a stagnant smell and no way to drain off.
Research says that a yellow stalk is doomed, but I’m going to try my hardest to nurse it back to health. My track record isn’t all that great, but I’ll try just the same.
