Peace Lily That Is Wilting and Turning Yellow

Friday, February 13th, 2004

K Asks:

Please help if you can. I have a peace lily and it is wilting and turning yellow. I keep it watered and i dont over water it either. It has plenty of sun. Could it be from well water? Is it to late to save my plant? Please write back. Thank you

Brock's Reply: Sounds like you are doing many things right therefore it is hard to say from here. I couldn’t imagine the well water causing a problem unless your well system uses some type of water softener. In the mean time you may want to switch to distilled water purchased from your local grocery store. Also review the following newsletter to make sure there isn’t something else you could do.

Potting Suggestions For Lucky Bamboo

Saturday, February 7th, 2004

Alain asks:

I have a Lucky Bamboo for quite a while now and I think it is time to change it's pot. what kind of pot would you suggest and soil with beeds or only beeds. too bad I don't have a picture to show you but, it is a crown of about 7 inches tall and the bowl is only 1 1/2 inches. I am starting to see the roots. what type of bowl should I get to make sure a proper fit and to make sure I don't kill it

Brock's Reply:  Without seeing a picture, I will suggest that you put the lucky bamboo in a vase with rocks or beads and water.  I am sending you a link that will give you some detailed information about lucky bamboo and care.

Lucky Bamboo Not Thriving

Wednesday, February 4th, 2004

Mark asks:

We bought a lucky bamboo plant on the day we were married in St. Augustine, Florida about three years ago, and while the plant still survives, it is not "thriving," and some of the leaves are turning yellow.  Is there anything we can do for our plant?  Is there a special food that we can use for this purpose?
