Find Your Ask The Expert: I am at a loss. I’ve done a lot of research and I can’t figure out why the leaves on my plant are turning yellow. She’s a lucky bamboo. I have 10 plants – all except this one are doing very well. I only give them distilled water and change their water every 10 days. They get a good amount of light, but never direct sunlight. Can you help?? There are three stalks, the main stalk still looks good, hasn’t turned yellow. There are a few brown spots on the one stalk where the leaves are turning yellow. Is there anything I can do to prevent my other seven plants from getting fungus?
Flower Shop Network Plant Expert Reply: Watch the area for the next couple of days and see if they spread. It looks like it may be the start of a fungus. The only way to get rid of it is to remove the diseased stalk. If the top looks good you can propagate a new stalk. Fungus is usually air borne. Keep the water clean and the plant out of stress and the fungus should be a problem. Also remove all plants with fungus away from healthy plants.
