My Draceana Sanderiana Has A Sunburn

Ask the Expert: I have a dracaena sanderiana that was put in direct sunlight and the leaves went all yellow.  From reading on your site, i am guessing the leaves are burned.  I was wondering if there is anything to do, or it now going to die. Tanya

Move the Draceana sanderiana (lucky bamboo) to an area with light but not direct sunlight beating down on it.  This will give the plant a chance to recover.  Although the damage leaves may not return to a full green color, the plant should not die.   Once the plant is established in its new home, the new leaves should be a healthly green color.  Good Luck and keep me posted.
