Bamboo Planting and Aftercare

Immerse your newly acquired plants in water immediately, first taking them out of the pot. Never allow them to dry out. Bamboos are evergreen plants and perform best in rich moist soil. It is important to incorporate generous amounts of compost or well rotted manure to enrich the soil. Having very shallow roots, they appreciate a good thick mulch of bark, compost, manure or leaf mould. Keep well watered twice weekly for the next 3 months until they are established, then water during any dry spells. It is essential to thoroughly wet the soil so that the water penetrates down to the roots. If the bamboo is planted late in the year, mulch heavily and try to give protection from cold, drying winds.
