I am prepared to do whatever it takes!

The new growth sprouting from the bottom has appeared since I have been watering it once a week with my aquarium water. (Water changes)... I have a fully planted tank, and add macro and micro nutrients along with Iron and a plethora of other nutrients including tannic and humic acids...

The damage occured before I started feeding. I removed many affected leaves, and it is only the ones initially damaged that have got progressively worse...

This is the first winter with me, for this plant... Is there any special precautions I should take for the Winter months in the UK ?

Finally... (I know this is a long one) Can you recommend any special advice for the care and maintenance of this plant.

Kind Regards,

David & Anita.
It looks like overwatering. I have found it is easy to overwater potted bamboo.

Greg,
