Care is an important element of growing plants in the garden. Phyllostachys aurea bamboo plant (also known as the Fish-pole Golden Yellow Bamboo) will require care and maintenance as they grow.
We created a list of some top UK bamboo sellers online. Check them out on our website.
Care for Phyllostachys aurea
The running bamboos are resilient plants. They tend to thrive in the UK and are commonly used as privacy screens and for garden hedging.
However, these bamboos will require care and maintenance as they grow. Use the two tips below to help your plants grow unobstructed!
- Firstly, add Slug and Snail pellets to protect them when your bamboos put out new growths.
- Secondly, tall culms and new tender shoots will require staking.
Protect new bamboo shoots
We have seen slugs devouring the new plants in one visit.
The Fish-pole Golden bamboos are no different, they are prone to slug attacks.
So, apply the Snail and Slug pellets to stop the slugs from damaging the new growths.
Tie new shoots upright
The support you provide will encourage the tall plants to grow upright and protect the new tender culms from the wind.
If you grow the Phyllostachys aurea bamboos in pots, they will require some support. Staking them is one option.
Another option is to tie the culms into a tight grove, providing a neat and upright hedge or screen.
The ideal time to care for your bamboo is when the new growths are coming out early in Spring to Summer.

Root barriers, essential for maintaining Phyllosyachys aurea
The root barrier is essential for containing the rhizomes of invasive plants like the Phyllostachys aurea.
They are running bamboos, top above the invasive varieties.
In fact, they will require some sort of barrier, either as raised beds, pots and containers or a trench.
Create a root barrier before planting running bamboo, unless you are growing them in a contained space.
If your bamboo does not have a root barrier, here are some places where you can get one. The plastic root barriers are formidable – strong enough to stop rhizomes from spreading.
