Bamboo/Feeding Bamboo

Expert: Dr. Rakesh Kumar - 4/12/2011

Question

Dear Dr Kumar, I recently bought a plant from a garden center, it is just a few stalks of bamboo in a ceramic vase which must be kept topped with water. In the instructions it says that I must "feed the bamboo weekly as necessary". As I have never kept this kind of plant before, I am unsure of what to feed it. Also, as it is no longer available from the garden center, I don't want to risk killing it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Dear Lee,
I am extremely sorry for delay in answer. It is very good that you are worried about bamboo plant. Just follow the instuctions of the person from where you brought the plant. I can suggest you to change the water regularly and use the tap water, because these plants use the minerals from this water only. If u see any symptom then please let me know again.

Thanks for caring the bamboo......

Rakesh
