Description

The shortest of the Phyllostachys species, the Humilis Bamboo is excellent for use as a dense privacy screen or clipped hedge in smaller spaces where large growing species won’t fit. Young very dark purplish culms turn green during the first year. As with many other Phylllostachys species, they turn a shade of yellow to golden orange when exposed to sunlight. The dense foliage grows from just above ground level to the top unless you want to remove lower branches to a desired height to exposed the culms. With a fast growth rate and left to grow naturally, you can expect Humilis to reach 8 to 14 feet in USDA Zone 6 and up to 20 feet tall in Zone 7 and further south. A great low-maintenance bamboo that provides a lushness to the landscape. Grows well in sun or shade and is cold hardy to at least 3°F.

Growing Preferences

Humilis Bamboo is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun or half shade. Drought tolerant when established. Does not like constantly wet soil or standing water.

How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors

Humilis Bamboo is a running bamboo, which means it spreads. Bamboo can be controlled in a small area (a normal city yard) simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. Keep in mind that running bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are “shooting,” the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy. Root pruning or installing Bamboo Root Barrier are other methods to control spread.

My plants were actually bigger than I was expecting. So far they look like they are adjusting to their new “home”. I followed the planting instructions so fingers crossed they thrive.
