Remove weak, dead, damaged or spindly stems in spring and thin to show off stems to best effect. Cut out any flowering shoots promptly to discourage more from forming - see bamboo cultivation

Propagate by division or take cuttings of sections of young rhizomes in spring

Slugs may damage new shoots
