How to grow Buddha belly bamboo

1. Soil

To cultivate Buddha belly bamboo, you need to use loose sandy soil containing humus. It is best not to use relatively heavy soil, which will affect its normal growth.

2. Watering

It likes moisture, so make sure the soil in the pot is moist and water it thoroughly, but do not allow water to accumulate, which can easily lead to root rot. When the temperature is high in summer, you can water it twice a day. In winter, it is best to keep it indoors and control the amount of watering.

3. Temperature

It likes a warm growing environment and is not cold-resistant. The temperature must be kept above 8℃ in winter. If the temperature is lower than 4-6℃, it will suffer from frost damage. It is best to place it in a sunny and sheltered place. When the temperature is lower in late autumn, it is best to place it indoors.

4. Fertilization

Do not fertilize it too much. If the amount of fertilizer is too much, it will cause the branches and leaves to grow too long. From March to September each year, apply fully decomposed thin liquid fertilizer once a month. During the growth period, it is best to apply nitrogen fertilizer water once a month.
