Dried up bamboo plant (outside)UK
 

Help !
My Bamboo plant has dried up but still has a couple of green leaves on
and a few green shoots.
How is the best way to revive it ?
It is supposed to like shade so it has been in the shade since we
bought it.
Cheers in advance. ;)

Water it? Seriously. Many bamboos will respond to drying up by
sulking for ages, but will eventually revive.

If it's really dry then try adding a couple of drops of washing up liquid to
the water, it will help it penetrate the dry compost.
If you can soak the pot in a bucket or something it would be better than
just pouring water over it.
