{"title":"Clumping Bamboo","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHow To Care for Clumping Bamboo Plants\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you have chosen your favorite clumping bamboo, you should plant it in well-drained soil (bamboo plants do not like wet feet) and in the correct light exposure and expect to wait for a few years for it to mature. Once mature, clumping bamboo plants produce new culms (bamboo terminology for stems) each year that are a few inches from the previous year's growth. Clumping bamboo plants form a slowly expanding, dense clump. As with all bamboo plants, the older culms die after 4 or 5 years and will look best if removed, but other than that, clumping bamboos are low maintenance and non-invasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Grow Clumping Bamboo Plants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBamboo plants are wonderful outdoor plants that add exotic, asian, 'feng shui' flair to your garden.
