I ordered this bamboo online and potted it for this year's growing season. It shot out new culms but they are all very short.
This is supposed to be "red temple narihira semiarundinaria fastuosa" bamboo.
Does anyone know why they maxed out at such short heights? Is it normal? I'm planning on potting it up for next year's growing season.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
My grove is 3 years old and very narrow. I’m not sure what it needs to grow faster. I thought it was supposed to spread like wildfire and I’m sitting here counting shoots waiting for a barrier that is slowww to materialize. Any suggestions?
Removed the last clump today. I didn't have any good "before" pictures but I tried my best. I also hope reddit maintained the order of the photos...
This bamboo had spread to a number of places (not pictured). Thanks a lot to the previous house owner who planted this, unaware of its power.
