After like 1-2 months you’ll see less and less depending on rainfall. When it looks almost gone, that’s when I reapply. I live in zone 6 with fairly frequent rainfall. **Q: Can this Bamboo Special Formula be used for conifers?** A: It's designed for Bamboo and it feeds for a full 12 months. Not sure if conifers need food for all 12 months of the year. **Q: How so you apply this, sprinkle and water, etc.and is that 3Tbsp to I Gall one time , which will suffice for the whole year?** A: This is a granular. You use 1lbs a year for small plants and up to 3lbs per year for large bamboo. Bamboo is a large plant and required plenty of food to thrive. Most fertilizer has to be put down every couple months. This fertilizer laats all year **Q: How much to use for planted bamboo, the gram/sq.ft. on the back of the package seems very high?** A: It's a year of slow release nutrition and bamboo is a hungry and aggressive growing plant so it will seem like a high dose. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to apply *by on Reviewed in the United States May 9, 2026* Keeps my bamboo growing and beautiful.
