I have fargesia murielae in pots however the leaves are starting to go brown, we were on holiday for two weeks so I'm not sure if it's lack of water/feed or if they may need bigger pots. Pots they are in currently are about 40cm square - any ideas?

If they've been in the same pots for a while, it might be time to turf them out, split the root balls and repot 2 sections into the same pots, giving them a good soak afterwards.. Either that or larger pots. If the roots have filled the pot, then they need a lot more watering because the ratio of root to soil isn't right, so there's nothing to hold onto water for any length of time.

Thats great think i'll be shopping for bigger pots this weekend. Thank you so much for your help as always.

Fargesia murielae need moist soil- so it sounds like they need lots of water. There would be no harm in putting a pot saucer under the pots to make sure it stays moist.
