Replanting bamboo:
Divide the existing plants; try to get at least 3 culms/stalks in each plant, hopefully with a new node somewhere. You can trim the culms down to make it easier to handle. Expect to wait a year or two for substantial new growth.
Bamboo reportedly *can* be started by laying a culm down on the ground and burying it, but I haven't had any luck with that. Seems like cutting a mature culm into sections and planting individually in pots works better, but takes quite a long time.
