					Botanical name Phyllostachys bambusiodes Castilloni. Origin China. Characteristics Castilloni is a very special bamboo. Golden yellow stems streaked with green. Lustrous leaves haphazardly variegated with cream strips. Castilloni grows 10 - 20 m. tall. It grows as cold as Beijing in sheltered positions. Use Castilloni will give you a dense privacy screen. You'll feel better if it's growing in an "escape proof" planter or isolated from the ground. As a potted plant it can be rotated indoors. Periodically take indoor plants outside for a good hose down, this cleans out the breathing pores. But do it on a cloudy day or in the shade otherwise the sun will burn the leaves.

It will reach half that size (about 3 cm) if grown in a large pot. How fast will it grow? Our Bamboo Growth Simulation gizmo shows you the rate of growth starting off with a small plant. Of course, growth rate depends a lot on climate, food and water. Small bamboo plants are slow to get going, so starting off with a bigger plant will get you there much faster. Also, using the gizmo will show you the eventual, un-trimmed shape in outline for this species. 42 Kb. Image 182 Kb. Image 78.2 Kb. Image
