The bamboo loving audience cheering in the background.
Yes, we bamboo nuts have empathy for bamboo, somerimes stronger than other people.
I have learned a few things and the most important advice I can give you about pampering your bamboo is - it usually isn't the best idea. When it's young and fragile, I usually let it be and just check if it needs water. I rather keep them dry than overly wet and only fertilize with grass clippings mulch. Well I do plant them into rich compost mix so they are good for a year or 3. I tried watering with the water from my pond in which ducks swim and do most of the guano dumping business. Worked more than great on all my vegetables. Chilies wanted to become trees last year. It is highly diluted, but I guess still works as fertilizer. I admit, I watered my small seedlings with it as well, but only between every 2 or 3 regular waterings.
