    To divide bamboo, take the clump from the edge of an existing grove in spring before shoots appear. Use a sharp spade to cut straight down in a ring around the clump, being sure to cut through the two or more tough, woody rhizomes connecting it to the rest of the grove. Then simply pop it up and transplant.

    Pruning can be performed anytime during the year, with exception to the shooting season because of possible damage to new shoots. You can remove all the brown canes with no foliage without any damage. However, removing more the 1/3 of good canes (green) will affect the bamboo's health and ability to produce larger canes.

    As long as the plant is still green inside, it is still living. I would give it more time and the leaves should eventually regrow.

    Yes, it is very easy to grow sdditional bamboo plants. Simply use a shovel to pop up a clump or two and replant elsewhere. One word of caution, however...they can become invasive. For this reason you may want to add a barrier or place in a container.
