PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Im losing my Bamboo plant.
Ok this is gonna sound a lil crazy! I have some lucky bamboo I propagated it's got clean water in vases. Iv been working with these particular piece this past week meaning the water is very clean and vases washed then all of a sudden yesterday I pick up one of the vases and it smells like ammonia!!!!! What the heck is that??????? I almost feel like a kid or someone put something in my vase. I do have enemies here ! Lol no seriously I googled it and didn't find any information on it. That's what has me worried the most. Is this really that abnormal? And if so ........I do believe a kid or two dislike me for chasing them away from my flowers. Lmbo..help again please....

I dont wanna lose these pieces but its looking bad. So the original stems of LBAMBOO I propergated is yellowing. Last week I noticed one of them yellowing so I got advise to recut and I did so now its drying a good bit at the top and very slowly yellowing again and so is the 2nd piece now! they are doing this slowly but surly. and considering the above issue with the smell in the other pieces of the propagation this is looking bad uh????? please help if This can be helped!!!! im adding pics of all the pieces in a few minutes, k pics added. that 3rd pieces dont seem to have an issue except it was one of the 2 in the vase yesterday that smelled liked ammonia. I CLEANED THOSE YESTERDAY AND SO FAR TODAY NO SMELL! IM SO CONFUSED!!!

I started pulling on the roots an indeed it ripped very easy. they are still orange in color but i can tell the color is fading I guess Id call it.... im frustrated with myself the vases sit in a kitchen window in front of my face everyday. they looked like a great orange color.... I dont understand??! I change the water at least once a week if not 2 times with in 7 days. why would it rot? I have kept bamboo in fish tanks and in still water with betas! i am so confused right now......

UPDATES The Lucky Bamboo in soil is a preyellowing color . what should I do? should I wait it out a little while
PLEASSE read update.. tops of at least one of the pieces in soil and pots is a little yellow...... should i wait for it to yellow more?

should i have plastic bags over these what i am doing now is watering them 2 times a day half cup of water at a time its staying damp this way but i also have it in drafty window to dry some inbetween waterings . it seems to be drying well .. i think..... its not dry by any means but not soaked either.
