The care secret that transformed my Buddha Belly Bamboo

I'd had Buddha Belly Bamboo for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to watering heavily in the first season to establish the root system and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

beautiful sound of canes moving in wind became much more pronounced. The plant in a poolside or water feature surrounding planting now looks like a completely different specimen. best container division and replanting in spring confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. die-back after mass flowering which occurs once per lifetime has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Buddha Belly Bamboo is underwhelming, look at watering heavily in the first season to establish the root system first.
