RE: Bamboo

When I planted my first bamboo, it didn't so much as grow an inch for a
year. The top growth didn't die off (it was in the ground though and was a
clumping form) but NO new growth on the plant. The next year it grew a bit,
and then the next year it took off, so I'd be inclined to let yours just
sit for a while and see what happens.
