bamboo problem and I.D

17 years ago

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?

it looks like Dracaena sanderiana or lucky bamboo. (it was bought at the 99cents store)

It looks like Dracaena sanderiana because it is. You'll probably have better luck posting in the Lucky Bamboo forum since it's not a bamboo.
