Split Bamboo Canes

What Are Split Bamboo Canes?

Split bamboo canes are essential for any gardener, allotment owner, or plant care enthusiast. These bamboo canes can provide help to any plant needing a little support as it grows. Whether you’re structuring the tomato plants in your greenhouse, or helping that Swiss cheese cutting grow as big as its parent, it’s always great to have a few spare split bamboo canes to hand!

At Oxy-Plants, the bamboo canes we sell measure 3ft, or 90cm. This means any houseplant (or cutting) under 90cm that you wish to trained can be helped with one of our split bamboo canes. Our split bamboo for sale comes in packs of 2, 5, or 10. It’s always helpful to stock up so you’re never caught short!

How to Use Split Bamboo Canes:

Bamboo canes are essential for training your plants to grow in a certain direction. Every plant on Earth is “phototropic” which means it will naturally grow towards (or away from) a light source. If you own indoor plants, this is why you may see some of their stems and leaves gravitating naturally towards a window. If you like your plants growing straight, then split bamboo canes can be used to train your houseplants.

To get the most out of your split bamboo canes, place them firmly into your soil (about 5-10cm down). Then, gently move your plant’s stems towards the bamboo canes and tie them together using some gardening twine, or training clips. It’s really that easy to use split bamboo canes!
