Bamboo Struggling - Help!

Hi,
Really hoping someone can help! I've recently planted (3 weeks ago) three golden bamboo plants. They were planted in very large tubs in the ground with a view to containing spread, with the soil being a 40:40:10 mix of sandy loam:manure:grit. There are well established golden bamboo plants alongside, so I know the location is OK.
Everywhere I've looked points to underwatering for the leaves to be curling in this way, but I'm struggling to see how this is the case. There was a period of a week that we were aware, but there was a lot of rain during that time.
I've attached photo's. Any thoughts on what to do would and how to salvage the situation would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Jon

The 10% was grit.
