Thanks for the reply! I did end up pruning away some dead/weak/not-straight stalks and the plants look a lot better now as well. I removed some stalks that were very short but also very bushy in order to free up some of the space at the bottom of the plant. I didn’t want to overdo it so I only removed maybe 20% of the stalks. I’m glad the plant now looks less like a bush and more like something that wants to grow upwards
I just planted the bamboo last summer so I hope it’s not rootbound yet, I’ll definitely check that out next winter tho, thanks for the heads up!
