Can bamboo be grown in the north?

Moso bamboo can be grown in the north. It is distributed in my country from the Qinling Mountains to Taiwan and is also cultivated in many places in the Yellow River Basin. The plant has good adaptability to the environment, but its survival rate still depends on the local climate conditions.

Moso bamboo is widely distributed in my country. The plants prefer a warm and humid climate and are mostly planted in areas with an annual precipitation of 1200-1800 mm. The main producing areas in my country include Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian and other provinces.

How to grow bamboo in the north

1. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for the growth of bamboo is 12-22℃. The plant likes a warm environment. Too high or too low temperature will cause poor growth of bamboo. The plant has good cold resistance and can withstand temperatures of -20℃.

2. Water: Bamboo prefers a humid growing environment. The air humidity is best at 65%-82%. Generally, it needs to be watered once every 1-2 days to keep the soil moist but without water accumulation. When the air is dry, it is also necessary to spray water appropriately to keep it moist.

3. Soil: Moso bamboo prefers loose, breathable, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter. You can buy special soil for daily maintenance, or you can mix garden soil, leaf mold, and river sand.
