Caring for Your Bamboo

Caring for bamboo is relatively straightforward, which is why many gardeners appreciate its low maintenance requirements. It's essential to plant bamboo in well-draining soil and provide adequate water, especially during the warmer months. Regular pruning will help manage its height and encourage denser growth. Implementing protective measures such as Tree Guards can also protect younger plants from pests and harsh weather conditions.
