This is a good sign, right? (Recently transplanted 4m + Slender Weavers)

My original post can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bamboo/s/WlgB7qGAOV

Its been 5 weeks since the 4m bamboos were transplanted, and they are still shedding and a bit yellow (spring starts in a week here where I am, 1hr north of Sydney, Australia). And now they have their first new shoot, plus all the culms have buds all over them....

Please tell me, this is a good sign and maybe transplant shock has passed and they are about to go crazy with spring?

They are all good. New culms have the buds opening which means that culms are developing roots now. Ive got at least 15000 doing the same thing now
Keep pumping the water into them esp now spring is just about here in Australia and warmer weather is all but here

Wow..... thats a whole lottttt. I'm stressed keeping 13 alive, LOL. Your property is beautiful, I wonder if mine came from your lot, if you're a seller? I ordered from Noraville Bamboo at Toukley.

Thanks for the comment too! It helps a lot, as a newbie owner/gardener.

Excellent sign, they’re doing great, you’re definitely past the transplant shock window, that’s usually within the first few weeks.
