I'm new to gardeners world so here's hoping for some advice from more experienced gardeners.
I removed a lot of bamboo as the dead leaves and shoots were taking over and were totally overgrown.
Two months ago I bought three new plants about 8ft tall and to control them put them in pots in the ground with drain holes. The top leaves and stem turned brown so I cut the bottoms off the pots to give more drainage and put them back in the ground.
It's now June 2017 and hot, and unfortunately there's no change to the brown tops. Lower down seems healthy. Shoul I remove the pots altogether? I would be grateful for any advice.
