Just got Bamboo,
2 Attachment(s)
Hello I'm a newbe here, I just got a pot with a bunch of around 4ft bamboo, from a recycle centre. Very lucky as I couldn't afford to get some from a garden centre. Im wondering if anyone could please give me an idea on how to look after it. It must stay in a container.
Thankyou in advance |

From the size of it, I think it is in an adequately sized pot - at the moment. So probably just do the obvious: refresh the compost if you can or top-dress it, water it very regularly (but don't let it get waterlogged - it should be able to drain from the bottom of the pot, and don't stand it in a deep puddle caused by a deep outer pot). And when it recovers (if it...) then start feeding it generously. Later, probably in a couple of years, if it recovers and expands, it will no longer be in an adequately sized pot. What you haev to do is either repot it to a larger pot, or else divide it in two and return it to two pots of the same size. The best time to do this is Sept/Oct or March/April. |
