Default [IBC] Possibly Ailing Miniature Bamboo

I normally keep the tray slightly moist, as I have lost similar plantings

any true drying-out occurs. It is currently in a west facing window where
it has been wintered for 2 years. I have been wondering if I need to
perhaps fertilize it slightly, but knowing that can be exactly the wrong
thing to do, I thought I would field the question here first.


Sounds to me like a soil/root fungus problem. How long ago did you repot?
What is the soil like. I think I would repot and divide. If it is a running
bamboo it wants new soil to grow well. If it growing in on itself through
spent soil that could cause problems.
