Its possible to help but could hurt them as it would be difficult to know which ones to use. Your bamboo is obviously suffering from either a nutrient deficiency or a disease of some sort. There is much research on use of essential oils for herbacide/pesticide and fungicide use on plants .. most research has been and continues to be conducted in Europe and the Balkan countries. I suspect that use of the wrong EO could harm a plant cause it could be that plant's enemy. Essential Oils belong to the plant .. as honey does to bees. Man comes along and removes it in the most efficient manner he can - distillation in most cases, but compared to the full value of EO to the plant, this method creates a less efficient product. EO is in that plant by design of the Great Spirit .. for any number of reasons .. maybe to attract or repell insects .. maybe to keep other plants from crowding that plant. So you could be harming your bamboo by using an EO mixture on it. I think you need to visit a local nursery .. take your plant if you can and if you can't, describe the situation and they might be able to help. In the USA, most nurserys .. to include those at Walmart, etc., have a book or two .. Ortho is one - methinks .. that you can look up symptoms and get recommended solutions. And they'll sell you that solution. > Namaste, > Manuela Good luck .. and keep smiling, Butch http://www.AV-AT.com PS: The 25% Off Anatolian Rose Hydrosol Sale ends at Midnight TONIGHT!
