How is the dwarf bamboo hardy?
It does not always have to be the XXL edition of a bamboo. The miniature bamboo, which grows on average 50 to 80 cm high, impresses with its appearance. But what about winter time? Does he put frost on him?
Planted specimens are hardy
A planted dwarf bamboo is hardy in this country. Depending on the variety, it can withstand temperatures down to -20 ° C. Some varieties are slightly more sensitive. Their winter hardiness amounts to -10 to -15 ° C.
An exception is the miniature bamboo Pleioblastus viridistriatus. He comes from northern Japan and impresses with its enormous winter hardiness of -24 ° C! You can safely leave it outside the winter without protection.
In some circumstances, better protect
But sometimes a winter shelter is not an error, for example:
As winter protection, it is sufficient if you put some brushwood over the roots of the dwarf-bamboo. From a protective foliage or compost layer is rather discouraged, since the air passage is rather poor there.
As preparation for the winter time, there is nothing to note. You should not cut back the dwarf bamboo in autumn! The stalks serve the plant as protection against moisture, which is not uncommon in winter (eg by melting snow). Once winter protection is no longer needed, remove it to prevent possible rot.
Protect or bill the dwarf bamboo in the tub
A dwarf bamboo in the bucket must be either outside or set outside in winter. For indoor wintering, light locations are needed. For example, a winter garden with temperatures of 3 to 10 ° C is well suited.
Alternatively, the potted plants can be brought outside through the winter by being protected, namely:
Tips
If necessary, individual stalks can freeze in winter. But that is no reason to worry. You can cut out the frozen parts in the spring.
