    A very enjoyable video. It might help to add a light application of 'Blood and Bone' fertilizer at the beginning of Spring, Summer & Autumn. Seasol is a seaweed tonic that stimulates the roots and growth, it isn't a fertilizer so a fortnightly application doesn't interfere with other fertilizers.. Seasol is an Australian product but I'm sure you would have an equivalent locally.

    Along with the sawzall, a hammer-drill or demolition hammer (Harbor Freight) will a spade type bit or scrapper type bit can dig down a wide sections on all sides of the plant. Also a Radius Garden 22811 Root Slayer Drain Spade (Amazon description) is a super spade. When applicable, maybe right on the sides of the pots for sale, " WARNING- running/spreading bamboo". Anyone know if Oldhami is biggest none running (clumping) bamboo, grows well in the Sacramento Ca area, have a couple that are 30+ feet, after 8 years 5gal pot has spread only to about 4-5 foot area. Very easy to remove any unwanted new shoots coming up, one did not damage bottom rail of redwood fence growing right under it, just curved/grew to the side and then up.

PF said dig hole 3x wider than plant and fill mix of succulent soil mix w pumice, but when I watched Builders SA video, they recommended pine bark nuggets 50% river sand 50%.

      In Sacramento beside drainage - the big problem is heat - I would plant in an area that gets shade after 1-2pm (my best plants grow in afternoon shade) - If your mound is as big as the one in the video then I would just use topsoil. If it drains too much then it will dry out in the Sacramento heat. Your other option is building a 3 x 3 raised bed for your plant out of redwood that is 8-12inches tall.

    The video would be more helpful if you disclosed where it is. Bamboo will freeze of course, so presumably you are in southern Florida or possibly Hawaii or southern California. Viewers should know that for bamboo to be used in construction it must be cured and treated to resist termites as well as fungal infestations, mold and rot. In construction it cannot com in contact with the ground or it will rot, so poles must be set in concrete footings or the like. So, fencing is impractical. Your bamboo actually looks a bit like guadua, (guadua angustifolia) a type of Giant bamboo used for construction and grown chiefly in Colombia, although plantations are sprouting up in the Philippines, Indonesia and Africa. It is used in construction for low-cost housing as well as for resorts. Guadua is a thorny species of bamboo, however, and yours shows no thorns. You can see more about guadua and bamboo construction simply by googling it.

    I always thought we were supposed to soften the medium and loosen up the roots prior to repotting, but if this way works, it'll be so much easier for me to repot going forward.

      yes - I don't want to damage the roots - so I just pop it in a bigger pot
