Fernleaf hedge bamboo is a variety of the hedge bamboo (Bambusa multiplex) in the grass family (Poaceae) and the genus Bambusa. Its branches are slender and droop in curves, just like a phoenix tail, making it suitable for bamboo bonsai and giving it high ornamental value. Here we introduce the growing methods for fernleaf hedge bamboo.

I. Growing methods for fernleaf hedge bamboo

1. Soil selection

Fernleaf hedge bamboo prefers acidic, slightly acidic or neutral soil, and dislikes heavy, sticky or alkaline soil. It is best to choose fertile, loose, well-drained loam as the growing soil. You can mix leaf mold and garden soil at a ratio of 2:1, then add a small amount of river sand and rice husk ash and mix them together.

2. Temperature requirements

Fernleaf hedge bamboo prefers a warm environment and has somewhat poor cold tolerance. It grows best in a warm environment and is not suited to low-temperature conditions. If the temperature is too low, the plant will grow weakly. In winter in particular, it must be brought indoors to overwinter, and the indoor temperature must not be lower than 5°C to avoid cold damage.

3. Light requirements

Fernleaf hedge bamboo prefers a semi-shaded environment and cannot tolerate strong direct sunlight. It needs sufficient light during growth. In spring and late autumn, it can be placed in a spot with sunlight; in summer and early autumn, it should be placed in shade or beside a pool or ditch where it can receive sunlight in the early morning and evening; in winter, it should be placed in a spot with plenty of sunlight.

4. Watering method

Fernleaf hedge bamboo prefers a moist environment and fears waterlogging. During the growing season, water moderately and just keep the potting soil in a moist state. When the soil becomes half-dry, water it, and water thoroughly each time. Do not give “half-way water”, and do not water too much, to avoid water accumulation. In summer, spray water on the branches and leaves frequently.

5. Fertilization method

Before growing fernleaf hedge bamboo, apply sufficient base fertilizer. Farmyard manure and pond silt can be used as base fertilizer. During the growing season, quick-acting chemical fertilizers such as urea and monopotassium phosphate can be made into a 0.3% nutrient solution and applied to the pot, once or twice a month.
