Uses
Growing
Pleioblastus viridistriatus prefers fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Protect from cold drying winds. It can become invasive in warm, moist conditions and may require containment. Propagation is best done by division in spring. Regular pruning in late winter or early spring maintains shape and encourages new growth.
