Hiya, I have a bamboo thats been looking sad for ages. The ends of the
leaves go all brown and it also gets spots like roses get which I manage to
sort out but its not growing more to make up for this. I spent ages looking
for what type of bamboo it was with no luck at all.
I have a picture of it http://www.unclerob.net (gardening link on the left)
any ideas before it finally dies would be great.

amber

Its probably in need of food or water

Check to see that it's not waterlogged in its pot as too much water has as
much the same results as too little.
Depending on the bamboo type it can be anywhere from fully hardy to frost
tender.
Lets assume the bamboo is a phyllostachys of some type which is fully hardy.
If pot grown use something like a John Innes no 3 compost.
If grown in the ground plant is a humus rich, moist but well drained
location in sun or part shade.
Also shelter from cold winds and a balanced liquid fertilizer during growing
seasons on a monthly basis helps.
I've some bamboo and found that they looked sorry for themselves the first
year and then was told that they sulk for a year after planting!

Moss is a sure sign of wet, bamboo mostly like wet .. but they like it well
drained as well .. sounds like your bamboo maybe suffering from too much
water.
Let it dry out a bit and water when the soil is starting to feel dry about a
centimetre down.

Just a quick follow up - I have been careful not to let this get wet when
watering the rest of the garden and there is more new growth on this than I
have had in the 3 years I have owned it. Thanks again for all the advice!!!
