This is how they look after your Red Bamboo tips and tricks
The classic red bamboo belongs to fairly easy-care Fargesien, but there is also a Phyllostachys aureosulcata, whose stalks are more or less red. This forms foothills and therefore necessarily requires a rhizome barrier.
Plant red bamboo
Red bamboo, such as the variety "Chinese Wonder", colors its stalks especially in sunlight. That's why he needs a sunny spot. In half shadow he thrives, but appears less colorful. The soil should be loose and nutritious. Since Fargesien no foothills form, you can plant the red bamboo without rhizome barrier.
Pour red bamboo and fertilize
The red bamboo belongs like all other bamboo species also to the very thirsty plants. Pour it regularly, especially in a dry summer. At the latest when its leaves curl up it is high time for the next watering. With fertilizer, however, you may be a little more economical, even if the red bamboo is a stouter.
About two or three times a year, give him a good dose of bamboo or organic fertilizer. This can be compost or manure, but also bamboo leaves or even coffee grounds. If your red bamboo gets yellow leaves, then he needs a bit of special bamboo fertilizer. Around August, you can stop the fertilizer again.
Red bamboo in the winter
The biggest threat to your Red Bamboo in winter is not the frost, as you might suspect, but the thirst. Because of its numerous leaves, the bamboo evaporates a lot of moisture, especially on sunny days. This must be replaced urgently on frost-free days, otherwise your beautiful bamboo will dry up. With a frost tolerance of up to - 25 ° C, however, it is pretty hardy.
