Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright, indirect light until roots develop. High humidity is beneficial; you can cover the cutting with a plastic bag or place it in a propagator to maintain moisture. Once roots are established, gradually acclimate the young plant to outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter rooting, transplant into a larger container or directly into the garden in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help the plant establish. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring and mulch around the base to retain moisture. Giant Timber Bamboo is generally low-maintenance once established, but it benefits from occasional thinning of old canes to promote air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne unrooted cutting of Giant Timber Bamboo (Bambusa oldhamii).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835971010870,"sku":"FOLIA2-1398","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6582019809_rr7c.jpg?v=1793096660","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-giant-timber-bamboo-unrooted-cutting-bambusa-oldhamii-privacy-screen","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
