lucky bamboo plants dying
My bamboo plant is turning yellow and I don’t know why?

I have had my lucky bamboo plant (or maybe not so lucky anymore) for almost a year, and it’s starting to turn yellow. It’s actually five separate plants in the same pot, and they’re all doing it at once. Are they dying, or is this just part of the bamboo life cycle? I’ve kept them watered and fertilized. Is it possible to over-fertilize? I’ve kept them alive for this long, so I don’t understand what’s going wrong now.

Bamboo normally turns yellow when it’s dead and drying out — so I’d guess it needs more water, less sun, or both.
