This unique feature occurs when the bamboo undergoes periods of stress such as drought or low nutrients. Although it grows quickly, it’s a clumping bamboo and is generally non-invasive. Unlike other bamboo species, Buddha Belly Bamboo tends to grow clusters of thin, long dark green leaves. When pruned along the bottom half, they can take on a tree-like appearance, with bulging shoots at the base and clusters of graceful leaves in the canopy. When planted in the ground, Buddha Belly Bamboo can easily grow up to 30-40 ft tall. Alternatively, you can plant it in a container where it will grow to about 6-15 ft. Additionally, its hardiness and unique features make it a popular choice for bonsai. Whether in the ground or in a container, this bamboo can reach its mature height in as little as 3-5 years! Buddha Belly Bamboo can adapt to most soil conditions but prefers clay-based, loam, or sandy soil. Most soil PH levels are suitable for Buddha Belly Bamboo, as it can survive in slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline soil. Regardless of where you are growing Buddha Belly Bamboo, the soil should be well-draining. Bamboo has relatively shallow roots, so ensuring the topsoil has good drainage is important to avoid water-logging the roots. As with other bamboos, Buddha Belly Bamboo will thrive in healthy, nutrient-rich soil. You can amend your soil with compost and fertilize once or twice per year with a nitrogen-rich feed. If your bamboo is in a tight grove or has been shedding too many leaves, fertilize more often. Growing Buddha Belly Bamboo is ideal as a self-sustaining privacy screen or hobby project. You can leave it to its own devices and watch it grow into a fantastic ornamental bamboo, or you can take pride in shaping it to cultivate something truly unique for your garden. Its non-invasiveness and pest resistance make it low-maintenance and neighbor-friendly, as it won’t spread across the gardens in your neighborhood. If you’re lucky enough to see flowers on your Buddha Belly Bamboo, you may even find that hummingbirds and butterflies follow suit!
