Bamboo is a member of the Poaceae family of locoweed . It is a tropical perennial that can grow up to 100 feet in tallness . There are two main types of bamboo : clippety-clop and go around . The open type get by rhizomes and can become quite invasive . Most bamboo prefers warm conditions but the hardy bamboo can survive Northwest winters . The plant needs moist , well - drained soil and can uprise in either sun or part sun . Good drain is a crucial element for the bamboo to prevent disease of the root that cause rot .
Features
Bamboo can take shape myopic clunking shrub or jumbo towering stands . Bamboo emerges from rhizomes , which have roots at the node end . The bamboo straw are call culm . Clumping bamboo mannikin from the rhizome called pachymorph and springtime from node set close to the parent plant . The spreading or " running " bamboo arises from incessantly grow rootstalk that spread under the land . The rhizomes on running bamboo are prospicient and slim and are term leptomorphs . The culm are hollow and do not have a growth cambium or vascular system . The size of the culm is determined at sprouting and xylem and phloem tissue paper build the tube .
Armillaria Root Rot
Armillaria solution rot is a fungus that infects central tissue paper and kill off the trunk and root of bamboo . The first sign that a bamboo has this radical bunkum will be undersize and discolored leave of absence that will drop down . clump of mushroom-shaped cloud - similar fungus will form at the al-Qa’ida of the culm . There may be grim or sullen cerise brown solution - alike structures on top of the bamboo ’s rhizomes . The industrial plant will need to be removed and the soil air dried before anything is replant . Additionally any irrigation issuing demand to be addressed .
Rhizome Root Rot
The tender , edible shoots of bamboo can become mordant and die due to rootstock root rot . This disease attacks the rhizome but the first sign are on the bud . As the disease works on the rootstock , the source will also turn inglorious and give-up the ghost . finally the whole plant will yellow and leafage will fall off . The entire flora will die and the rootstalk will be ineffectual to produce new shoots .
Indoor Bamboos
Lucky bamboo are the little bamboo plants that are grow indoors . They are popular house plants but a variety of other bamboo are now being bring into the home . These plants broadly postulate fiddling additional care but do require light and plenty of piss . Unfortunately this can induce the plant to be sitting in too much water and cause root putrefaction . It is best to keep the bamboo teetotal between waterings especially in winter when it is not as actively growing . Once your plant has rot there is no way to hold open it .
Prevention/Solution
There are variety of bamboo that are bred to be resistant to root hogwash . Care must be taken to only industrial plant cuttings or starts from healthy stock or the disease will extend in the Modern plant . The soil in an infected country needs to be turned and dried in the Lord’s Day . The sun will destroy the pathogen and sterilize the dirt for replanting . Irrigation and drain issues are a large cause of root bunk . Bamboo rhizomes and roots that sit down in pee will dilapidate after time . Sand or other gritty matter can be added to the land to increase drain .
