I have relatives living near Warda, but all are too old for bike races. I used to motorcross race, but it's been a few years. As of now, I will be working that weekend, unless something changes, I will let you know. The reason I asked, was that I have two people lined up waiting for some Textilis and Moso. If both decline either plant, I will get them to you somehow. My current bamboo facility is in poor condition, but most plants look pretty well and all should survive. The long dry spell began a decline in my bamboo's health starting back this past Summer. I am in the process of getting another property ready for some permanent transplants, which will be a place where I can grow bamboo in large quantities and have mature clumps and groves of all varieties that I now grow, and then some. Remember, bamboo moves freely in the breeze, as does a grasshopper on two wheels. Kt

I don't think it's Arrow: the culms look too thick and there would be a lot more culm sheaths showing as these are quite persistent with japonica. What is the branching pattern at the nodes? Two branches, with one bigger than the other? Or what? And how long are the leaves?

It is a little bit difficult to pinpont without knowing the history of the plants. There are three things than can cause yellowing: 1. Light: Way too much sunlight. 2. Water: Cold temperatures or using water with chemicals such as chlorine and floride. Use room temperature water and allow any chemicals to disperse from the water. 3. Disease: Sometimes a stem becomes diseased and dies. If it does appear diseased, remove the stem from the group and dispose. Sometimes a plant has survived a long time without any nutrients. Eventually you will need to add some nutrients to the soil. As long as the plants had not been fertilized, you could add a VERY DILUTE amount to the water. Wait several months before adding any more nutrients to the water. From the link: "NUTRIENTS: Lucky Bamboo is pretty hardy, and often grows happily for years just in pure water, but it may need some kind of food eventually. If your plant gets spindly and pale after youÂve had it for a while, try moving it a little closer to a light source and give it some very diluted plant food. However, if it turns yellow shortly after you bring it home thatÂs usually a sign it was over-fertilized before you purchased it. Change the water immediately, and donÂt fertilize at all for several months. The best time to feed your Lucky Bamboo is when you change the water. Just add a couple of drops of aquarium plant food to the water you use to refill the container. You can also use a very dilute solution of a standard plant food like Miracle Gro. For water-grown plants, that means using 1/10th the recommended strength (i.e., if it says 10 drops per gallon, use only 1 drop per gallon for your Lucky Bamboo). If your Lucky Bamboo is growing in soil, you can use a stronger solution. DonÂt feed every time you change the water! Every 2 monthsÂor longer-- is often enough. Water-grown plants do not need to be fed as frequently as soil-grown plants, and feeding too much or too frequently is more harmful to plants than not feeding enough! Lucky Bamboo is naturally a very slow-growing plant, so donÂt assume it needs to be fed just because it doesnÂt seem to be growing."
