    Bamboo flowers don't look much like a typical flower. They will only bloom once in a 50 year time period. It is possible that it is a flower, which will lead to seeds. If it blooms more often, then I would say it might be something else that looks similar to bamboo.

    That container seems very small for such a large plant. I would recommend replanting, and cutting off an inch or two of the bottom of the root mass before replanting. This should solve your issue.

    Your plant most likely has powdery mildew, a common fungal disease. Separate the affected plant from the other two plants to prevent the fungus from spreading, and wash your hands and any tools after touching the diseased plant. Please see these articles for control options:

    This, completely, depends on your location. You can start them indoors at any time, But I would transplant when there is no chance of frost in your area.

    I would need a picture to see if it was actually bamboo, or dracaena. This is often sold as "lucky bamboo". This will not survive outdoors unless you are in a warmer climate. Bamboo can be grown in cooler weather, however. Can you include a photo so that I may see what it is?

    Try using bottled, or unchlorinated water with a drop of liquid fertilizer. It is likely becoming sensitive to the chlorine, and if you use a water softener, then this will kill it as well. Make these changes, and if it still does not respond, then you will want to transplant into soil. You will want this to recover, as it will not likely regrow if it is cut.
