Origin: China

Buddha Belly and Buddha’s Belly are common names for the species of bamboo known as Bambusa ventricosa. Bambusa is a large genus of clumping bamboo, native to tropical and subtropical climates. Typically, Bambusa varieties have multiple branches coming off of each node.

Most species of Bambusa, including Buddha Belly, are native to Southeast Asia, China and Melanesia. More specifically, Buddha Belly is indigenous to Vietnam and the Guangdong province of southern China. It can also grow happily in subtropical regions around the world.

Growth

A fast-growing clumper with well-defined culms, Buddha Belly stands out as one of the most popular varieties of ornamental bamboo. While its irregular shape makes it less than ideal for poles and other uses, Buddha Belly Bamboo looks gorgeous in any garden

The watering schedule for Bamboo

Under normal conditions, need to give your Buddha Belly Bamboo deep watering about once or twice a week, depending on the weather. If your bamboo is in a pot, just be sure it has good drainage. It should be able to dry out thoroughly in between waterings.

Temperature

Buddha Belly and Giant Buddha Belly are somewhat cold-hardy, and a mature plant will be more cold-resistant than a young one. In some cases, they can survive temperatures as low as 20º F.

Dwarf Buddha Belly bamboo is going to be less cold and hardy. For this reason, the dwarf variety is more popular in places like Florida and Southern California where it’s not likely to freeze. But a little overnight frost probably won’t kill it.
