Pleioblastus hindsii Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most soils[25] but prefers a good loamy soil in a sheltered position in semi-shade[1]. Requires deep shade[25] and a position sheltered from north and east winds[11]. Dislikes drought[1]. This species is notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. Plants only flower at intervals of many years. When they do come into flower most of the plants energies are directed into producing seed and consequently the plant is severely weakened. They sometimes die after flowering, but if left alone they will usually recover though they will look very poorly for a few years. If fed with artificial NPK fertilizers at this time the plants are more likely to die[122]. Closely related to P. gramineus[1]. This species is cultivated for its edible shoots in China[195]. The rootstock is running and invasive[25]. New shoots are produced from April[25]. For further Pleioblastus hindsii gardening information |
