Did you recently plant it there, or take a division from it?

Could be too much water. It hasn't beem overly rainy there has it?

It's been there for about 8 months now. I haven't taken any divisions or touched it in any way. It has been pretty rainy here, but that's on par with the area. Also, there is a canal on the other side of the fence, and the water level is probably about 5 feet down from ground level. Don't know if that makes a difference, but I figured I'd mention it.

Any suggestions? Should it not be so close to a water source? I could attempt to move it if that would help.

The canal beyond the fence should not affect the bamboo.

I think it is from too much water though. Many of my larger Bambusas, including chungii, get the leaf discolouration when too much moisture is present for a long period of time, especially if there has been no or little sunlight for a few days, and also when the temps get really cool.

If the soil there stays 'soupy' for lengthy periods, it may be a good idea to plant the bamboo on a raised mound. The bambusas can take heavy or constant water to some of the roots but not to all roots. I have some potted bambusas sitting in tubs of water that cover up to 1/2 of the roots and they are doing just fine, but if the water covers too much of the rootmass, then the plant will suffer.
