Leaves on black bamboo turning black?

Hello I wonder if anyone can offer advice on what is happening to my bamboo please? The leaves are turning black, I can’t see any powder or bugs on them. I’m very concerned it will die. It’s potted at the moment, and I have a larger pot for it to go into but now worry i will stress it more. Iv already lost one to wind, and can’t afford to loose this one as well. I only bought them the other month

If they are newly purchased and have perhaps had an indoor upbringing, putting them straight out into your garden - particularly with the weather the UK has had recently - it could simply be that they have had a bit of a shock.
Bamboos of any variety are becoming more popular in GC's but often sold without correct advice on how to keep them happy within the average garden. Indeed, most Bamboos are not really ideal for the average garden
Difficult to see the size of your pot but something of a similar size to a Dustbin will eventually be needed for a few years.
