    Hello!

    This is bamboo that sells everywhere. Everyone have then, but I have no clue what it is called. Can you name it please?

    I would also know why one of them (I have 3) is turning yellow.
    I have them since a year now. They are with peebles in water. The window is facing north-west so there's never direct sun.
    What did I do wrong?

    Please help. I have no clue what I'm doing! :-)

    It's not bamboo, it's Dracaena sanderiana. Not sure why one is turning yellow, they don't like chlorine or fluorine that can be found in water, but all should turn yellow then. May need some very light fertilizer?

    some people called 'Lucky bamboo', that's why confused. and don't put too much water
    ( max. 3cm ) in the container. it'll cause stem rotten.

    Thanks everyone. I'll check what I can do... Probably too much water...
