in July, then splitting the plant in half during September? Close timing, but it’s pot-bound in a 20 gallon pot. Should I no t fertilize until spring, after splitting in fall?

For season-long feeding, simply spread a 1- to 2-inch layer of compost around your bamboo plants in spring. A second application can be made in early summer. Not only will the compost feed your soil and plants, it will also help to retain moisture in the soil.
