Pleioblastus intermedius Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: We have little information on this species and do not know if it will succeed in Britain, but it is hardy to at least -7°c in China and so is worth trying outdoors in this country. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. 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 N. and E. winds[11]. Dislikes drought[1]. The rootstock is running. 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]. For further Pleioblastus intermedius gardening information |
