How to Feed Bamboo Plants
Bamboo is a very special plant that many people favor. It is not a high maintenance plant but bamboo needs to be taken care of properly or it can die quickly. There are two main types of bamboo that require completely different feeding requirements.
- Identify the correct bamboo. Some types of bamboo can only grow indoors due to the warmer weather, so it is very important to identify it correctly. Also, there are two different sorts of bamboo known as lucky bamboo and the other known as true bamboo.
- Feed your bamboo. Lucky bamboo requires special attention such as changing the water at least every week and putting it in a container with at least two inches of water. For plant food, you can feed the bamboo a type of fertilizer. No need to be picky about the fertilizer but it does need to be administered at least once a month. True bamboo plants tend to be more exotic and require a lot more attention than lucky bamboo. Every time you need to water true bamboo, you should also feed it. Feed this bamboo with a high concentrated version of high-nitrogen. Pay attention to the care instructions when you first get your bamboo, because not all true bamboo is required to feed every time you water.
