Hi
I came across this site and joined as it seems so friendly and because I am looking for advise about some indoor bamboo plants I bought a few months ago. They are on very fine stems, bushey and green, have just started showing flowers/seedheads? and a few leaves are turning brown. I keep them on my kitchen windowledge and water when the compost is just dry to the touch. Am I doing right for them?
Hope someone can advise me
Rose

Good day, Rose W. Welcome to a great place. It sounds like you plant has been doing well so far. Have you ever fed your plant? That could cause some leaf brown off. But if you do feed, use about half the strength recommended on the fertilizer type you choose.
I am not familiar with an indoor bamboo type with flowers unless it is heavenly bamboo? A picture is always helpful if possible.
Glad you could join us.

Getting old is the pits. But it sure beats the alternative. My Blog

Hi Tina
Thanks for your reply, have given two feeds of baby bio. Afraid I dont know how to put a photo on to computer yet, although we have the technology, my son showed me how to do it once and I dont like admitting defeat so will ask him again when he next calls.
