Default Need advice! Bamboos are dying

I bought 3 bamboos 6 months ago - two black and one golden for indoor
container. They were fine, even few culms showed up. But now- golden is
dead (I will try to save it)... And two blacks looks really bad.. I do
not know why.. I was thinking you might help me. Maybe that container
is too tall and it started roting. Here are pics of container and
current look of my bamboos leaves. Maybe i should transplant it to
different container and soil, and put to lighter space.. Im affraid
that it will not survive transplanting... I really do not know what to
do..... Desperate...

Pls help..

I can't grow these as houseplants.
But I can tell you that most grasses grown as houseplants must have
perfect drainage, wet containers or clay or muck soils kill roots.
