5. Polluted water. When the water for lucky bamboo is not clean, yellow leaves will also appear.

2. Trim the rotten roots and replace with clean water.

3. When growing lucky bamboo in water, put one aspirin tablet in it, and use tap water that has been left to sit overnight for the water culture. Do not change the water or move its position before it takes root.

4. After it takes root, change the water once and add a little special water-culture nutrient solution.
