Did the color change started from the top of the plant?
Do you keep your lucky bamboo in direct sunlight?
Can you see any small insects attacking your lucky bamboo?
Did you fertilize your lucky bamboo?
Do you keep your lucky bamboo in tap water?
Do you change water for your lucky bamboo every two weeks?
Too much sun can cause stalk and leaves of lucky bamboo to turn yellow. The top of the plant is most exposed so the yellowing will start from the top.
Spider mites, scales, thrips and aphids are small insects that can attack your lucky bamboo and cause yellowing of the leaves. You can wash these pests from your plant with a strong stream of water or use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to get rid of the pests in hard to reach places.
Check if your lucky bamboo's stem is broken or damaged, or if the wire is tied too tight. If that is the case the upper part that had started changing color isn't getting enough water and nutrients and is wilting. Cut off the upper part and make sure to avoid stalk injury in the future.
Lucky bamboo doesn't require fertilizer. Over-fertilizing is the number one reason for the yellowing of the lucky bamboo stalk. If your plant has both leaf and stalk yellowing, the first thing to consider is over-fertilizing. Change your bamboo's water and stop fertilizing the plant.
Tap water contains chemicals, such as chlorine and fluoride, that can be harmful to plants. Consistent exposure to the chemicals in the water can lead to your lucky bamboo plant yellowing and dying. Use either filtered, distilled, spring, or rainwater for your lucky bamboo.
The freshwater is vital to healthy plant life since it provides nourishment with nitrogen and oxygen. Also, freshwater contains trace elements that the plant needs. If left for too long in stagnant water, lucky bamboo will start losing vigor, turn yellow and wilt.
Color change and wilting may occur if you are using cold water when you are changing the water for your lucky bamboo. Always use room-temperature water for your bamboo.

Sreten null
Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
