Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Fargesia rufa — Non-invasive umbrella bamboo
The Fargesia rufa, or umbrella bamboo, is a compact and elegant non-invasive bamboo, ideal for balconies, terraces, and urban gardens. Unlike invasive bamboos, it forms a dense, harmonious, and well-contained clump without unwanted spreading.
Its light green evergreen foliage and graphic silhouette make it a zen plant par excellence, perfect for creating a calming and natural atmosphere all year round.
Exposure & placement
The Fargesia rufa adapts to many environments, from outdoors to urban terraces. It appreciates filtered light and fresh soil, without excessive heat or prolonged dryness.
- Exposure: partial shade to gentle sun (avoid harsh full sun).
- Location: balcony, terrace, light hedge, or lightly shaded bed.
- Cultivation: in pots or ground, in rich and well-drained soil.
- Use: perfect for creating an elegant and zen green screen.
Verdeia tip: place it sheltered from the wind to preserve the beauty of its foliage.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: regular, especially in pots or during hot periods.
- Soil: fresh, rich, and well-drained.
- Pruning: minimal — simply remove dry or damaged stems.
- Hardiness: excellent, down to –20 °C.
- Special feature: non-invasive bamboo — requires no rhizome barrier.
In a pot, ensure the substrate remains slightly moist without stagnant water.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Elegant and graphic, the Fargesia rufa pairs wonderfully with plants with contrasting foliage or delicate flowers. It fits perfectly in a Japanese zen ambiance as well as in a contemporary garden.
- To pair with: ferns, hostas, Japanese maples, or light grasses.
- Ideal ambiance: relaxation corner, zen terrace, urban natural hedge.
- Ideal pot: stylish fiber or simple ceramic pot to highlight its foliage.
For a denser effect, plant several Fargesia side by side 60 cm apart.
Verdeia Tips
- Water regularly in summer, especially in pots.
- Apply an organic fertilizer in spring for vibrant foliage.
- Avoid very dry or scorching areas.
- Remove the oldest canes every two years to aerate the clump.
