I'm new to horticulture, got 2 black bamboos a month ago, and seem to have a pest. I get little cottony (webs?) at the nodes, but not the black soot that indicates mealy bugs. There are white marks on the tops of leave, but no evidence of webbing on the underside (tho I admit I have less than 10x magnification to check for mites). And many leaves are browning at the tip, which may just mean I need to water more often. One plant has lots of new shoots, so I've cut back the old infested growth significantly. The other plant I'm trying to prune judiciously. Any advice?
