The care secret that transformed my Arrow Bamboo

I'd had Arrow Bamboo for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to feeding with a high-nitrogen fertiliser in early spring and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

year-round evergreen screening and architectural presence became much more pronounced. The plant in a poolside or water feature surrounding planting now looks like a completely different specimen. cane hardening and leafing out through summer confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. die-back after mass flowering which occurs once per lifetime has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Arrow Bamboo is underwhelming, look at feeding with a high-nitrogen fertiliser in early spring first.
