Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your bamboo thrives, choose a spot with full sun to partial shade. When planting, dig a hole twice the width of the 10-12 litre pot and enrich the soil with organic matter. If planting in the ground, consider installing a root barrier if you wish to contain the spread. Water the plant thoroughly immediately after planting and continue to provide deep watering twice a week during its first spring and summer. Use a general-purpose fertilizer in early spring to encourage new culm (cane) growth. Keep the plant tidy by removing any dead or damaged canes at the base in late winter.
