Oedema
Oedema is a physiological disease that results from excessive water intake. The lucky bamboo becomes infected with oedema when its roots take in more water than it is able to process. The infected plant will experience small blisters on its foliage which results from the pressure of the excess water. As the disease progresses, the small blisters develop into hard, tan-colored bumps and the foliage becomes discolored and droopy. Severely infected bamboo will die from the disease. Oedema is easily controlled by reducing the amount of water that is provided to the lucky bamboo. This is no chemical control for this disease and severely infected lucky bamboo should be discarded, according to Cornell University's Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic.
@swguevin thanks a lot Sheila, it could be too much water...weather has been humid and I did put water ! But the strange thing is that there was only 3 leaves like that... Just in case I'm going to make them follow a special diet : dry diet ! Thanks again for the article ;)
@angeliquenordal I did some "googlings" but didn't find anything, it seems that Sheila has found something, I'm gonna follow her advice and no water during few days... Hope it's not raining again;)
Love this community , thanks ladies @swguevin@angeliquenordal
Would you mind if I sent your photo to a scientist friend of mine? I am still so curious and he is so practical and I am not always practical...sometimes there is not an explanation.
@angeliquenordal yes of course. Do, I still have this little mystery in my mind ;)
I just have to update my informations :The bamboo leaves that were like that (they were 3) were on the top of the same stick, I pick up one to photograph it and let the 2others.
This morning I wanted to check if it hadn't infect the others and I saw that the 2 who had the same patterns were completly fold ( they look like mini spring rolls ), I think there are bugs inside. I didn't dare to unfold the leaves : I hate insects !
Could it be possible that tiny bug could do such regular patterns ?
@mijade en fait il y avait 3 feuilles comme ça, les 2 autres que j'avais laissées ont été roulées comme des nems ...je pense que de petits insectes y ont trouvé refuge ! Et ce " gaufrage" devrait etre un préalable ....avant de roulotter les feuilles !
En tous les cas j'admire la régularité de leur boulot.....mais j'ai quand même tout éliminé avant la pandémie !
