Qiongzhuea tumidinoda
walking stick bamboo
Description
Qiongzhuea tumidinoda, also known as Buddha Belly Bamboo, is a unique and ornamental bamboo species that is easily identified by the bulbous, swollen internodes (sections) of its culms, which give it the appearance of a pot-bellied form. The culms are usually a vibrant green, adding visual interest, and the leaves provide a soft, delicate texture. This bamboo is well-suited for container gardens, creating a sculptural effect in landscapes. It is relatively slow-growing and has a clumping growth habit, which makes it less likely to spread aggressively. To cultivate Qiongzhuea tumidinoda, it is best to provide well-draining soil, and make sure it receives ample sunlight and warmth, especially during the active growing season. Proper watering and protection from extreme cold are also essential for its cultivation.
