My new Thamnocalamus tessellatus

Post by Robbie78 »

I got a 10 gallon Thamnocalamus tessellatus this weekend and planted it as soon as I got home, I used mushroom compost and it seems to be happy so far but were supposed to have 40 mph winds tomorrow night. I hope it holds up. Ill try and post some pics I have to resize them

I got mine as a one gallon plant about a year ago.

I'd be worried about the heavy salt content in mushroom compost. I've used mc on lots of plants but have stayed clear of it for my bamboo. Rgds
