Bamboo help?

I have had a bamboo plant for around 4 years... it started off just a tiny thing and has grown and spawned more shoots.. it is HUGE now lol.


In the past I have no had any issues with it over winter-spring. This year however with the warming temps(we keep inside during winter but put it out when it warms up at night and day) the bamboo seems to be having issues. Some of the shoots are mushy, others are fine. The ones with the mushy shoots have a lot of dead or dying leaves... it always has at least a few and they get trimed up and are fine by mid summer. We keep it well watered and all but I don't understand why some shoots are mushy? They are green ... some are not, the ones that are not are yellow/white. I trimed those shoots down to where it was green. I guess my question is is why are they mushy? Any tips on fixing this or what it could be would be great help... if you know a link that could help please add it to your answer!( I do not know the species of bamboo)

How much are you watering it? Sounds like it has too much water. And/Or the pot is becoming rootbound. You can repot the plant, even trim some of the roots off the root ball when you repot, if you do not want the plant to get any bigger.


Bamboo is related to the grass in your yard. Most of the species of bamboo grow new shoots from its roots just like grass. It there is any root rot from too much moisture in the soil, the shoots and leaves on them will be mushy and appear to be dying.
Reply:Usually mushy means too much water or stagnant water.


Maybe someone will come along with a more specific answer.


With all it's growth we know why it's considered an invasive plant.
