{"title":"Bamboo","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePractical bamboo plants for outdoors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBamboo is a fantastic tropical garden plant that belongs to the grass family. One remarkable feature of this plant is that its appearance barely changes all year round, which makes bamboo a stable, reliable choice for any garden lover. Whether you're after a graceful \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/buitenplanten\"\u003eoutdoor plant\u003c\/a\u003e to create an exotic atmosphere, or a natural hedge that gives you privacy and shelter, bamboo is a perfect choice. With its lush leaves and elegant canes, this garden plant adds a tropical feel to any outdoor space. Bamboo is hardy down to around -25 degrees Celsius, so it shrugs off the harshest winters. That means you can enjoy a green accent in your garden all year round, without worrying about frost damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between running and clumping bamboo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the world of bamboo plants there are two main types: running bamboo and clumping bamboo. The two differ mainly in how they grow and in their root structure. Running bamboo has a slightly aggressive root system with long, horizontal roots. These roots spread quickly when planted in open ground and can send up new shoots in all sorts of places, which lets this bamboo take over large areas fast. Ideal, then, for filling out your garden. Regular pruning is needed to keep that growth in check. To stop this bamboo spreading into places you'd rather it didn't, you can install a root barrier to limit its growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClumping bamboo grows more compactly. The rhizomes of these species stay closer to the parent plant, which means they spread far more slowly. They're ideal for gardens where you want controlled, tidy growth. When you're choosing bamboo, it's essential to decide how you want to manage the space. Running bamboo creates a lush look quickly, but needs more maintenance to stop it spreading where it isn't wanted. Clumping bamboo grows in a more controlled way, so it asks less of you and suits smaller gardens and areas better. In the Green Bubble range we offer the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bamboe-220cm\"\u003ePhyllostachys bamboo\u003c\/a\u003e, which is one of the running bamboo species and is ideal for creating a hedge in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does bamboo grow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBamboo is generally known for its rapid growth. That does depend on several factors, of course, such as the soil, the watering and the sunlight. Bamboo grows fastest during the growing season, usually in spring and summer. In those periods the shoots can put on height quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat can you use bamboo for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBamboo isn't only a beautiful ornamental plant, it's also perfectly suited to creating natural screens and hedges that give you privacy and shelter from the wind. Our value bundles with several plants are ideal for this. We offer these bundles in sets of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grienbubble.com\/en\/products\/5x-phyllostachys-bamboe-220cm\"\u003e5 bamboo plants\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/10x-phyllostachys-bamboe-220cm\"\u003e10 bamboo plants.\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I care for my bamboo plant?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for a bamboo plant is simpler than you might think, but it does take some attention to keep your plant healthy and lush. From watering and feeding to choosing the right spot and keeping growth in check, it helps to know how to keep your bamboo happy, so you can enjoy it for as long as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe best spot for bamboo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost bamboo species like plenty of sunlight, so put your bamboo somewhere it gets at least four to six hours of direct sun a day. Do bear in mind that the plant also needs more water on hot summer days. Bamboo is flexible and strong, but hard gusts of wind can still damage the canes. Choose a spot that's sheltered from the wind, such as beside a wall, fence or hedge, to protect your bamboo and encourage steady growth. Make sure you have enough room for your bamboo to grow, especially with the running species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering the bamboo plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure the soil around the bamboo is always slightly moist. Test the moisture regularly by pushing a finger into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. When you water, pour the water straight onto the roots rather than spraying the leaves. Watch out for too much water as well, because that can lead to root rot and other problems. Make sure the pot or the ground has enough drainage holes to carry excess water away. In warm weather or during dry spells you may need to water your bamboo plant more often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding the bamboo plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best moment to feed your bamboo plant is in early spring, just before the growing season starts. Choose a plant food developed specially for ornamental grasses and bamboo. When you feed your bamboo plant, it's important to follow the recommended doses on the packaging. Don't use too much plant food, because that can damage the plant's roots and hold back its growth. Feed your bamboo plant the right way and you'll keep it healthy and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I prune my bamboo plant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePruning is essential for a healthy bamboo plant. Start by removing dead or diseased canes and thinning out densely grown sections so air can move through better. Check regularly for excessive growth and prune where needed. Keep the shape you want by trimming the tops of the shoots. Use sharp secateurs or a sharp knife for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtecting bamboo from the wind\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtect your bamboo from strong winds by giving it a sheltered spot, such as beside a wall or a fence. Use support canes where needed to stabilise large plants and keep them steady. That keeps the bamboo healthy and strong, even on windy days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePreventing pests and diseases in the bamboo plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery plant can run into pests and diseases, and bamboo is no exception. To prevent these problems, it's important to maintain good air circulation around the plant and make sure the soil drains well. Checking your bamboo regularly for signs of pests or disease, such as discoloured leaves or insects, matters a great deal. If you notice anything suspicious, it's wise to act quickly by removing the affected parts or using a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/pokon-insecten-spray-750-ml\"\u003epesticide\u003c\/a\u003e to deal with the problem. That way you keep your bamboo healthy and tackle pests and diseases effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrder your bamboo plants from Green Bubble\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for beautiful bamboo plants for your garden or patio?

This value pack contains ten plants of 170 cm, enough for a fully-fledged bamboo hedge. The leaves move gently in the wind. This variety does not spread and grows neatly in clumps. So you do not have to worry about it creeping under the fence into your neighbours' garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ten plants you can create a hedge of roughly three to five metres. The exact length depends on how closely you plant. Along the property line or between two gardens, you get a green boundary in one go. You can also dress up a long, bare wall with it. If you have less space, the pack with 5 plants will do. A single Fargesia Nitida is handy for filling a gap in an existing hedge.

Dig a trench along the full length, remove weeds and roots and mix humus-rich, moisture-retaining soil or compost into the ground. Plant about two to three plants per running metre. If you want a dense screen quickly, plant three per metre or stagger the plants slightly in a zigzag. With two per metre each plant gets more room and the hedge will eventually be just as full, but it takes a little longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fargesia Nitida is hardy down to about -25 °C and easy to look after. Give the hedge an organic fertiliser every spring, such as Pokon Organic Garden Fertiliser, so all ten plants put on equally vigorous growth. In spring, cut old or damaged canes back to ground level and trim stray canes on the sides for a neat line. In severe frost the leaves may curl up; they recover by themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWater needs of the 10 x Fargesia Nitida bamboo - 170 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBamboo prefers soil that stays slightly moist. In summer, water about twice a week, and more often in hot, dry weather. Curling leaves are a sign of thirst. With ten plants, a soaker hose or a garden hose with a sprinkler is a real time-saver, especially in the first year. In winter it needs very little water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLight needs of the 10 x Fargesia Nitida bamboo - 170 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fargesia Nitida is happiest in partial shade.
