Watering Bamboo and fertilizing
Recently planted bamboos require frequent and generous watering. Give your plant good watering two times a week if the weather is mild, and perhaps even daily during hot or windy weather. Check whether each plant under 18,93 liters pot size gets at least 1,89 liters of water. If your plant is over 18,93 liters size more than 3,79 liters is needed. When bamboo reaches the desired size, it can grow with less watering. But until then you must water and fertilize abundantly to get best growth. Insufficient watering mainly in hot or windy weather is the main cause of failure or bad growth of new plants. Over watering of the newly planted bamboos can cause excess leaf drop. Well-acclimatized bamboos are rather lenient to flooding, but newly planted bamboos can suffer from excessive as well as insufficient watering.
Planted in a suitable site, full sun for most of the species, partial shade for some and given sufficient water, Bamboo can grow and eventually flourish. But if you want to see a healthy and attractive plant, you should fertilize it. You may use a lawn fertilizer, as it is high in nitrogen, or an organic fertilizer, though it is more expensive.
