Ask the Expert: Lucky Bamboo Dying I have had it for 6 years. It has been great until the past week. The leaves and turning yellow and are "falling over" and there are some green crystals forming. I have not made any changes to sunlight or watering. What are the crystals? What can I do? Jen Jen, Do the green crystals look like the green scale in this picture from the University of Florida? If so, you have an infestation of scale (an insect) and will need to use an insecticide to get rid of it. You may want to propagate your lucky bamboo and create new plants in an effort to remove some of the damage plant. Our Caring for Lucky Bamboo page has all the information you need to do this.
