First Frosts at Scottish Bamboo

Sunday night (4th October) saw the first frost of the season here at Scottish Bamboo. We recorded -1.3 degrees C.

Tips for keeping your bamboo plants looking good over the winter:

1) If your bamboo plants are in containers try to keep under cover during frosty nights as the pots will freeze quicker than plants in the ground.

2) Don't let containerised bamboo dry out in the winter months, make sure the soil is moist at all times (remember the winds can be very drying).

3) Give your bamboo plants in the ground a good mulch to keep moist and protect the roots (organic matter - bark, compost or leaf mulch)
