I just got my first bamboo from my mom as a gift but 3 weeks in the tips of the leaves are turning brown, how often do I water it cuz I feel like I didn’t water it a lot.

@walkingtalkinggardeners 11 дней назад

If it's in the ground in a free draining soil it will need regularly watering in its first year until it establishes. Without knowing your whereabouts in the world it's difficult to say how much that would be but if you can keep the soil regulary moist during the summer without it becoming waterlogged then you should be about right. Kind regards Simon

Well simon my bamboo is definitely not the type that runs however it's still a bit lack lustre my guess is because it's in the shad of the magnolia tree and doesn't get enough water , what do you think ?.Lloyd .

Hi Lloyd, from your description, it sounds like the bamboo is being out-competed for light, nutrition and water. By the Magnolia. If you wanted more vigorous growth from your bamboo, you could replant it in more favourable conditions. However if that isn't possible you could start watering it and applying a liquid soluble fertiliser twice a week over the growing season. Let me know what you think. Simon

@walkingtalkinggardeners yep I will have a go at that I think.

Cool. I will take a while for the root system to bulk up but if you systematically feed and water you should see a marked difference in 6 to 8 weeks. Take a 'before photo', so you can judge the improvement down the line. Let me know how you get on. Simon
