Clumping; Non-Invasive
Hardy to 15F
1gal size Buddha Belly Bamboo!
This clumping species of bamboo is quite unique and one of the few that does great both indoor and outdoor as well as one of the very few clumping bamboo that will tolerate long periods being potted.
To achieve the Buddha belly swollen inner node look, this plant must:
* stay potted (undersized pot for best results). The more stress this plant endures, the more swollen the inner nodes will begin to grow.
*Be kept cut short, all new growth should be pruned.
*Under water the plant, enough to keep alive but no more.
*Plenty of sun
When planting for a privacy fence, depending on species and your own preference, space out every 3ft to 8ft apart. (Seabeeze Bamboo - Within 1 year you will have a privacy screen, in two you will have a privacy wall, in three you will have a privacy impenetrable barrier.)
You want to dig holes wide rather than deep. Bamboo likes to stay shallow in the soil, which is why mulch is very important. Bamboo will naturally drop its own mulch as a survival mechanism, shielding its valuable and vulnerable rhizomes from the intense heat of the sun as well as freezing cold temperatures.
There are many reasons and outcomes to this question. Here is how we troubleshoot, your bamboo/ it’s rhizome should be planted relatively shallow, as gently as possible excavate out the rhizome in question. Many times just under the surface you will find healthy beautiful growth, if so replant and continue as was.
Other times we may find the soil was not porous enough and the growing buds molded off or not enough water and the growing buds dried out.
Those are the most common errors.
Be sure soil is well draining.
Be sure to top off and around generously with mulch
Be sure you are planting these plants/ rhizomes just below ground level, utilizing mulch to add protection and coverage.
Be sure to water plenty, especially at first.
