Top Tips

• The hollow canes can be harvested to provide support for other plants in your garden.
• Remove flower spikes to discourage further blooms as bamboos don't recover well after flowering.
• Trim off the lower leaves so that the beautiful stems can be admired.

Care Guide

• Plant in moist but well-drained, fertile soil in full sun or part shade in a sheltered or exposed location. If planting more than one, allow at least 100cm distance between them to allow room to spread.
• Bamboos do well in large containers, but if you plant in the garden, consider placing a physical barrier around the roots to stop them invading surrounding areas.
• Apply a liquid fertiliser in spring and mulch in winter to protect the roots.
• Bamboos can grows vigorously, so prune canes at the base regularly to prevent them from spreading further than desired.
• In the spring, unwanted or spindly canes should be cut down to ground level. New shoots can also be pruned once they grow taller than the rest of the plant if you wish to maintain a compact size.
