CARE GUIDE

How to keep Arundo Plinii.

Light

Arundo is a sun-loving perennial herbaceous plant native to open habitats, frequently flourishing in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.

Temperature

Arundo can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by various combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summers when there is sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended stretches of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can raise the likelihood of Arundo dying. In winter, protecting it from cold can increase its survival rate.

Fertilizer

Arundo needs extra nutrients to encourage healthy new growth. In spring, applying some compost around the base of the plant will effectively supply the nutrients it requires. Fertilizing helps support vigorous growth and assists the plant in resisting diseases and pests.
