Planting Guide

General Tips

Avoid planting in frozen ground or waterlogged ground, or immediately after heavy rain to prevent soil compaction.

Ensure the bamboo are well-watered before planting.

Planting

Remove the pot. This can be quite a challenge with bamboo and is best achieved by cutting the pot off with a knife or saw. Place the root ball into the prepared soil, and backfill with loose, fine soil. Water thoroughly after planting.

Watering

Newly planted bamboo require consistent watering, water at least once or twice a week in dry weather, especially in the first summer. Potted plants will require more frequent watering in summer months.

Monitoring

Check soil moisture a few inches below the surface and observe plant health. If leaves wilt or turn yellow, they likely need water.
