April 12, 2016Q.Care of very tall bamboo
There was a mature bamboo in the garden when I moved into new home. It is thriving but lots of dead stems on it over winter. Do we leave this in tact or remove at base to let new growth? Would appreciate learning how to look after this beauty. Kind regards Maureen wright

kolkataQ.bamboo
A week back I planted two bamboo plants in a big pot filled with soil. They are kept at a shady area but received some direct sunlight for a few hours up till the next day. Later the leaves have turned noticeably dry and brown. Now the leaves on the right one are all dead and gone. Is it because of the direct sunlight, over-fertilization or transplant shock? Can you please have a glimpse of the attached (recent) picture and tell me what is wrong with the plants? Will new leaves come from existing cane? Thank you (I have installed a plastic shade right above them and also giving the plants extra water to flush out the excess fertilizer)-JIMMY https://www.flickr.com/photos/143037259@N02/shares/h5egvP

June 3, 2016A.There are SO many reasons that a bamboo plant turns brown!
Fertilizing bamboo is one of those things you need to be very careful about, as is excess water. Your best option at this point might be to follow the instructions in this article to re-pot them and continue to keep them in the shade:

Blackpool, EnglandQ.Bamboo type
Had these 3 bamboo fargesia plants for 2-3 years now. As you can see, they are too big for the borders. Can you identify variety by the photos? Would like to take them out or split them in half and relocate. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation. Audrey
