heavenly bamboo

Heavenly bamboo plants prefer moist soil, so it is important to water regularly. During the summer, they should be watered once a week. When watering, it is important to give them enough water that the soil has been moistened to a depth of 6 inches. In the winter, water should only be given when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. It is also important not to over water, as this can cause root rot. Additionally, applying a 2-inch layer of mulch can help in keeping the soil moist and preventing weeds from growing.

Heavenly bamboo (Nandina domestica 'Tuscan Flame') thrives in full sun to partial shade. It grows best in bright indirect sunlight or full sunlight for 4 hours a day. The plant will also do well in shade during the peak of the summer when the sun is hottest. It will tolerate more shade during the winter months. The plant likes some morning sun and then shade in the afternoon. When grown in full sun, they will grow with a denser foliage and more prominent red foliage.

Heavenly bamboo (Nandina domestica 'Tuscan Flame') should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pruning should be limited to selective removal of branches, removal of the oldest and tallest stalks, thinning of crowded branches, and removal of dead, diseased, and damaged branches. Pruning too much can make the plant look thin and unattractive, so it is important to remove no more than 1 third of the existing stems. Removing more than 1 third can reduce the number of flowers borne on the plant.
