Compost Paul recommends a peat-based compost in glazed pots because,
although bamboos have a high demand for water, they will not tolerate
waterlogging. His standard nursery mixture is 85 percent compost, 10 percent
composted bark and 5 percent grit. Grit improves drainage and gives extra
weight, helping pot stability. In a porous terracotta pot, soil-based John Innes
composts can be used. Water storage granules and slow-release fertilisers can be
added to the compost although regular liquid feeding is still recommended to
keep plants looking their freshest.
