Watering Giant reedTenere Umido
Concerning those specimens grown in vases, let's remember that usually they need more watering, compared to the same shrubs placed in the ground. Moreover, they are often more sensible to temperatures, either very high or very low, and to radical apparatus diseases. We suggest watering pretty often and regularly, with 1-2 buckets of water ; we should always wait for the soil to be clearly dry between one watering and the other. During this time of year usually it is necessary to irrigate every 2-3 weeks .

Generalities Giant reed
Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a greenwhite colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 3 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Giant reed is an ornamental gramineae.

Exposure Giant reedSole pieno
For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Giant reed in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight. During the winter months we can cover a portion of the soil near the roots with dry leaves or other mulch tissue; in this manner we will protect the plant from the harsh climate.The Giant reed usually doesn't have temperature problems during this time of year, because it can bear freezings although not too intense ones.

Treatments Giant reed
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Soil Giant reed
Let’s favour an averagely drained, soft and rich growing substratum.
