Mark you may need to 'bottom' those culms - remove the lower 23 internodes on each one so that the leaves are closer to the pot, then when you water it the foliage will stay hydrated better.

the culm to rhizome ratio... (divide by zero error).

Vivax is one of my favorite clumpers, too.
To locals: If there is something in the Trade column of my plant list you want a start for, I root-prune every so often to control the bamboo in my limited space. You are welcome to any starts for free, no trading. Let me know and come get it if it's available. Pick up only.
