Autumn bamboo watering tips

The wonderful Gracilis bamboo – Undisputed king of bamboo

Autumn bamboo watering goes hand in hand with choosing the right time to plant your bamboo, to ensure you give it the best chances of doing well with your plants, 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.
