Gracilis on sale & Autumn bamboo watering tips

The wonderful Gracilis bamboo - Undisputed king of bamboo

As mentioned in the previous blog post now is a great time to plant bamboo. Get it in the ground before winter sets in. The ground is still nice and warm bringing out the shoots and establishing the bamboo in the ground. Shoots will continue to appear until winter. 

As the ground and the weather is still a little warm, don't forget to keep the water up to your bamboo plants. 

Bamboo watering tips

• Bamboo loves the water and it is best to give them a smaller drink on a regular basis.
• If the sun is shining then give them a little more
• If it has been raining then you can give them a little less.
• If the leaves are curling or you see brown tips on the leaves then give them a little more.

Here is a rough guide to bamboo watering.

• Small bamboo - 1 min twice per day
• Medium bamboo - 1 min twice per day 
• Large bamboo - 10 min twice per day
• Extra Large bamboo - 10 min twice per day.
