If it is lucky bamboo, it really isn't bamboo, it is actually Dracaena. Check this out, it is a good article. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/lucky-bamboo/growing-lucky-bamboo-indoor.htm -

Cultural or environmental conditions can also lead to browning on bambooplants. Heat – Too much heat or direct sunlight may be the reason for a browning bamboo plant, as most bamboo varieties prefer shade or partial sunlight. Water – Both under- and over-watering can cause a bamboo with brown tips. -

The yellowing is caused by the chlorine in your tap water. Need to use bottle water. Let your tap water sit for 12-24 hours before using.
