Buddha Belly Bamboo finally thriving — the one thing that changed everything

I nearly gave up on Buddha Belly Bamboo after three months of mediocre results. Then I focused properly on removing the oldest and most congested canes each spring and within a few weeks the difference was dramatic.

If you're struggling with yours, removing the oldest and most congested canes each spring is almost certainly the issue.
