Remove the bamboo plant and wash the container with a diluted mix of water and vinegar, rinse well and refill using distilled water.

The "mildew" is probably moss. It's caused because the rocks are usually damp. The easiest way to control to take them off and rise them from time to time.

If your plant is getting too wet, and not having time between waterings to dry out, you will get that awful mildew. Remove periodically and dry.

The mildew grows because the pebbles are humid and not kept clean the best way is to use a paint to paint the pebbles.
