I have three potted Mexican weeping bamboo and recently I noticed what appear to be seeds. I have several other of same type planted in the ground and have not noticed seeds. I’ve always read that once a plant or a entire species for that matter seeds, it means the end of the plant. I’m look for adv...

Does anyone own a slammer tool? I think I might invest but seems to be out of stock everywhere in the US. Wondering if anyone has any insight on tool in general.

Thanks for complement. I really just want to reduce volume. So maybe I’ll take some divisions from both inside and outer area of plant.

I have to reduce size of my bambusa. I’m thinking anywhere from 30-50%. I am planning on tackling this week. I have a cordless reciprocating saw and a 12” pruning blade. I’m thinking of just reducing from the inside since these are the older culms. I want to make this as atheistic as possible and ma...

This is how it looks from my living room

I need a few more bags to finish it up. Let me know what you guys think. Open to suggestions too. Thanks

Thank you everyone for the great advise. Much appreciated. I might just end up diving these and just add heavier soil mix with new pots and see how it goes. Just seems like potted bamboos in general need daily watering and can’t really be in too much sun (in my area anyway). I’ll keep the forums pos...

Are the photos showing?

Thanks for the response. I really don’t think too small a pot is the issue. Like you mentioned the soil just seems too light and just not holding enough moisture. As far as adding peat to the mix, how exactly would I add this to an already existing pot? And what type of sand do you add? Sorry if the...

What type of soil mix is everyone using for potted bamboos? Seems to me that it is draining too much or too fast on some of my potted bamboos. Is there anything I can add to current potted bamboos or what type of mix should I use in the future. I’m in San Diego zone 10 Sent from my iPhone using Tapa...

My Vulagris finally put out its first shoot of the season. My only ones left to shoot this year are my Mexican Weeping. Anyone know when I should expect these to shoot?

Looks awesome, wish I had the space currently.

Haha! Right! We'll see how it goes. His pomegranate tree drops all kinds of leaves on my side anyway!
