**PROBLEM**
I took it down yesterday for its weekly watering, (the rocks are almost always dry.. on a weekly bases...
I noticed that i have 2-3 leaves on the plant that have turned yellow!!
<> The rest of the plant, stalks other leaves ect or all pretty much green.. I felt the stalks, and they are solid*
The only thing that has me concerned are the yellow leaves.. i was looking on the web for answers as to what it might be, and am a bit confused on what to think.. here is what they said:
* It could be lack of water..
* not enough sunlight
* its naturally doing that to get ready for the warmer months ahead.. (the old dead leaves will fall off and make new ones)
* You can cut off the dead yellow leaves without harming the plant itself
* As long as the stalks are green, your bamboo is fine..

If all of that is true then id be okay, but im still needing some answers as to why its doing this.. & how to fix it, to assure a healthy plant. Please help!!'

Also,
i have been reading alot of things on yellowing of the leaves, and someone said to try placing it into a warmer room??
Okay.. One of my rooms have a live fireplace in it, would it not be a good thing for my plant to be in that same room??
my bamboo is NOT currently in this room, we have it placed in the living room..
i was just curious.. please help me with my bamboo..

Q: What do I do when the leaves or stems turn yellow?
A: If the leaves turn yellow, pluck the yellow ones off or it will affect the rest of the plant. Then take out the bamboo arrangement out of the container and rinse the rocks, the container, and the roots of the bamboo and put everything back together, then add fresh water with a few drops of Green Green plant food. If the stems turn yellow, it is too late for that stalk. Please remove it and buy another stalk to replace it.

On a more personal note, I found it a lot of trouble to keep the plants in water. It is easier to keep the plant in soil and just water regularly. My plant grew a lot and appears a lot healther than the ones in water only.

There is a recipe in one of the links for the potting soil mix. I recall that I used moisture control potting soil and mixed it with orchid bark.

You said you use green green, if that's a fertilizer, stop using it. Only use fertilizer about every three months, at a dilution a tenth of what the packaging says. There's nitrogen and other chemicals in this and it is probably burning your bamboo's roots. I'd go clean the rocks with Clorox spray (bleach, toilet cleaner, etc.), wash them with water about three times, and then put everything back in. My bamboo loves it when I clean the rocks, so that should probably a good choice for you too.

The fertilizer seems like the only problem to me. If the room it's in has a window in it, you're probably fine.
