Care & Size Guidance
Bamboo have a very high water requirement. During drier and hotter periods an irrigation system can help keep the plants well watered, and applying a layer of mulch helps prevent the soil from drying out too fast.
We ordered 6 plants to transfer into planters (80cm length each planter) after we did some homework on bamboos. The plants arrived within the estimated timeframe, we got a wrong product initially by mistake but Palm Centre apologised and sent us our bamboos the following day. They also gave advice on planting. All good so far, plants are in their planters and growing as expected. Palm Centre came highly recommended and it is indeed a great company.

I ordered two of these Bamboo plants. Communication with regards to my order, timescales and delivery were clear, precise and the items arrived on schedule and very well packaged. Both plants were reasonably healthy although differed in shape and size – perhaps it would be wise to request similar in appearance if required. Would recommend.

Beautiful plants, exactly as described. Bought 3 for a 2 meter trough to screen compost bins. Perfect plants, well packed.
Arrived promptly, was kept informed of each stage of dispatch. A perfect online transaction – will definitely use The Palm Centre again. Highly recommended.
