Sadly, early this Spring I learned a costly and important lesson about bamboo. Over-watering coupled with poor drainage will indeed kill a bamboo pretty easily. It seems I have lost at least 5 plants, all to root rot. These include my S. Fastuosa, P. Nigra Othello, P. Aurea Holochrysa, P. Rubromarginata, and P. Kwangsiensis. My F. Robusta is barely hanging on. Oh well, lesson learned. Better luck next time. I did pick up two F. Rufa's and they are doing well thus far.
