and... "In the spring there is considerable yellowing of the leaves, followed by leaf drop. This is natural and should not cause concern, as bamboos are evergreen and naturally renew their leaves in the spring. They should loose their leaves gradually as they are replaced by fresh new ones. In the spring on a healthy bamboo there should be a mixture of green leaves, yellow leaves and newly unfurling leaves." from http://www.americanbamboo.org/Genera...ngAndCare.html

we've been doing the water thing. its in a rocky soil type of stuff...lol. like little pebbles...the directions that came with just said to submerge it and then let it sit and absorb the water...so ive been doing that. i dont think its a water problem...

i just wasnt sure of what the temperature and sunlight it needed to have.
