The care secret that transformed my Giant Bamboo

I'd had Giant Bamboo for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to installing a root barrier for running bamboo before planting and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

beautiful sound of canes moving in wind became much more pronounced. The plant in a focal point specimen in a large container now looks like a completely different specimen. foliage refresh as older leaves shed in late winter confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. running bamboo spreading beyond its intended boundary has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Giant Bamboo is underwhelming, look at installing a root barrier for running bamboo before planting first.
