How To Plant Bamboo
If you're wondering how to plant bamboo, then we're here to guide you through it! First, you need to dig a hole in the garden where you want to plant your bamboo. The hole should be about double the size of the roots. Then place the bamboo into the hole. Mix soil and compost together and fill in the hole, and make sure to water it, and you're all done! The best time to plant your bamboo is in the springtime between March and June.
Where Is The Best Place To Plant Bamboo?
Whilst you're completely free to choose where you want to plant your bamboo plant, a sunny, but shaded spot is a good place if you're asking us! They thrive best in the sun and in moist soil, but can tolerate any other type of soil too. However, bamboo plants do not do well in really damp soil or extremely dry soil, so make sure you check your soil is in the right condition for them before you plant it.
How Quickly Does Bamboo Grow
So, bamboo is actually the fastest growing plant on the planet! You can expect your bamboo plant or tree to reach its full height in less than a year through several rapid spikes of growth! To be really specific, it can grow an impressive 1.5 inches per hour! So, you'll soon be able to use it as a privacy screen between yours and other gardens.
Should I Plant Bamboo For Privacy
Yes! Bamboo is a great plant to have in the garden for hedging and privacy. Bamboo plants and trees grow quite tall, plus they grow outwards so will offer you plenty of space for privacy! Also, you know from above that it grows incredibly fast, so the sooner you get your bamboo plant growing the quicker you can enjoy your new garden structure.
