How To Plant Red Bamboo Tips And Tricks
Also under the name "Red Bamboo" you will find in the trade different varieties of bamboo with more or less red stalks. The more sun these plants get, the more intense and luminous the initially mostly green stalks are.
The ideal location for red bamboo
The Himalayacalamus falconeri Damarapa is a relatively sensitive bamboo. He prefers the partial shade and tolerates the blazing sun badly. This bamboo is about two to five feet tall and tolerates frost only to about - 5 ° C. Its initially bluish stems later turn green to yellowish and get reddish stripes.
The Fargesi jiuzhaigou No.1 or Chinese Wonder sets accents in your garden with its bright red stalks. He is also good as a container plant. In the field, it is about two and a half to three feet high. In autumn he loses part of his leaves. It tolerates frost to about - 25 ° C.
Give this bamboo a sunny spot so that the stalks become more intense. He also copes well with partial shade. A rhizome barrier does not need this bamboo, as, by the way, no bamboo of the Fargesia species.
Plant the red bamboo in the tub
If you want to plant the red bamboo in the tub, then get a plant pot with at least 60 liter capacity. Drill a few small drain holes in the bottom of the bucket, if none exist. Lay out the planter with potsherds and put a layer of gravel over it, this is the drainage layer for the drainage.
Fill the planter about two-thirds with humus soil. Thoroughly rinse the root bale of your bamboo before placing it in the bucket. Now fill the bucket with soil and pour it on again. About every two to four years you should repot your bamboo.
