How to cultivate bamboo fargesia - tips and tricks
Bamboo fargesia, also known as garden bamboo, is available in numerous varieties. Despite all the differences in their appearance and care, there is one thing in common: they do not form rhizomes but rather clumps.
For this reason, all Fargesia varieties need no rhizome barrier, because they do not spread uncontrollably. Nevertheless, they can be multiplied well by division. Among the best known varieties are the red bamboo and the umbrella bamboo (bamboo fargesi murielae).
Plant bamboo fargesia
Red bamboo prefers a half-shady to slightly sunny spot, while the umbrella bamboo tolerates the full sun. When you buy, make sure that your bamboo will feel good at the chosen location. When planting, add some compost or manure into the planting hole. Large plants can be easily shared with the spade.
Pour and fertilize bamboo fargesia
The evergreen bamboo is quite thirsty and that is practically anytime. He also does not tolerate any waterlogging. Therefore, it must be poured quite often. He needs fertilizer only in the summer months. Use either special bamboo or organic fertilizer, such as well-matured compost.
Bamboo fargesia in winter
Since bamboo fargesia is also green in winter, moisture evaporates over the leaves and the plant needs enough water. Rarely does this bamboo freeze, much more often it dries up. That's why you should water your bamboo on frost-free winter days, especially if it's in a sunny spot.
Rolled leaves on bamboo tend to indicate a lack of water. By now you should water the plant. Bamboo fargesia is hardy to about - 25 ° C. At most, as a young plant, it needs winter protection in the first two years.
