Dear Gardener's Question Time,

Dear Gardener's question time,

We have been growing Bamboo in a pot, but it does not seem to be thriving.

We wondered if the pot needs to be bigger, or if there is some kind of infestation which is stopping the plant growing as normal.

We would be grateful for your valued advice.

Yours

Mr and Mrs Humpbuckle Hylton

Dear Mr and Mrs Humpbuckle Hyton,

Thank you, for your question.

Your bamboo plant does appear to be infested with a pest, latin name Biggus Fattus Tabbyus.

You can not get rid of this pest, you must simply indulge it.

Yours

The Gardener's Question Time Panel
