Certified ExpertA.Yes, I would bring out the big guns. Buy the strongest herbicide, a brush killer, for example, then read and follow all directions. Here is more:

Pr77ldQ.Neighbour’s Bamboo Trespassing Into My Garden
My neighbour planted bamboo near my side and raised border. They didn’t put it in a pot until I noticed it was coming in my garden. Unfortunately I don’t think they have pulled the roots properly. They claim, however, is not invasive because it’s clumping. I pulled a massive root from under the fence. Is this running or clumping bamboo? If it’s running, can I get rid of it with systemic weed killer (stump killer) or do I need a professional to deal with it? Many thanks

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, with things of this nature it will be best to contact your local council or authorities on the subject. Issues of this sort can be complex and require legal assistance that we cannot provide.

October 9, 2022Q.Transplanting Lucky Bamboo Plant From Water To Soil
I have this lucky bamboo plant that has been in water for almost 10 years. As you can see, it is filled with many pebbles and water. I heard that you shouldn't disturb the roots but I want to take it out of the vase and replant in soil. I was going to remove all the stones but I am thinking that all the roots have wrapped around them. What are the chances of this surviving if I do this? Also, I would like to cut off the shoot that is growing sideways. Any trick in doing this?

Certified ExpertA.It can be tricky moving a plant from water culture to soil culture, especially as long as your plant has been in water. If you want to try, I advise separating one or two canes from the bunch and leaving them in water; then planting the others in soil. The soil must be kept moist but not saturated. You can cut off the sideways shoot at any point that will give you the look you want. You can completely cut it off at the cane if you desire.

Certified ExpertA.It is probably transplant shock and much of the root system may have been disturbed. Make sure the containers are large enough to accommodate new root growth. Keep it watered till it recovers. Here is more:
