Bamboo....

Have you cut it back Sandra or is it a dwarf variety?

love bamboo,looks great in the pot.

Very nice , I like Bamboo but am always worried about it spreading it's a good idea to have it in a pot .........

No,Carole,it's never been cut back or trimmed...and as far as I know it wasn't a dwarf variety.. I read somewhere,ages ago,to leave all the dead leaves on the top of the pot..probably they decompose and add nutrients..it rarely gets anything else..maybe the odd top dress,when I remember,but I try to give it plenty of water,as you soon see how the leaves curl ,if it gets too dry..
Thank you,Suey...it's nice to look out on in winter,with it being evergreen :o)
Thanks Amy..I bought it because it said it wasn't a spreader..as I think those have a suckering habit? ..It was labwlled as a slow clump forming Bamboo,which it is ..It has always been in a pot..but this is only the second one .Ive had it about seven years now......and it prefers a bit of shade..
I think it is,H.bird..I've never noticed it to be unhappy there :o)

Nice plant Bloomer. Has it attracted any Pandas into the garden?
(Tee-hee!!!) ;-)

Thanks Muddy..and funnily enough...only the occupants of a Panda car..on reports of a huge black cat,masquerading as a Black Panther !!....if you didn't see a blog a while ago....don't ask..as I'm not going through all THAT again ! Lol.

I had to dig deep but I found it - don't you write a lot of blogs?! - and I had a good laugh. Thank you so much ;-))

I couldn't believe you managed to find it,Muddy..especially from the title..:o) ..and yes,I do tend to go on a bit,don't I ? ...I have always enjoyed writing,so I get a bit carried away...and should be,some might say !
Lol..so glad you enjoyed it,and thank you for taking the time to read all the waffle ...BTW,I haven't seen 'The Panther'for a few weeks now..must have found the Shepherds pie :o))))

Lol ;-)
