: : : Help !
The bamboo has been in the ground about 9 weeks and is not looking very happy, ends of leaves turning brown and whole plant drooping.
South facing in some shade but bit windy, soil not that good. But was improved with compost when planted.
What feed can I use to give it a kick start, or what are its ideal conditions ??
I await a response, thanks Andy
ANDY: I wouldn't do anything at this point except avoid allowing the plant to dry out too much. DO NOT OVER WATER, this can be worse than not enough water. When you see new growth out about 6" then you can fertilize with a general purpose feed. MVG Plant Dr.
When will growth appear, its been over 9 weeks and there is no sign of new growth ? Andy L
