Planting and care
Since bamboo likes high ambient moisture levels, daily misting of bamboo house plants are recommended. Place the bamboo where it can get direct natural lighting if possible. Most indoor bamboo cannot retain all their foliage and some leaf drop is to be expected.
Follow fertilizing directions for the size container you have. A good potting soil, mixed with perlite for drainage works great. Just keep a check on the soil and allow it to dry out between watering. Bamboo likes water, but loves drainage.
Do not leave your containers of bamboo outside during the winter months and expect it to live. In cold climate zones you must move the container into a protected warm area during the cold winter months.
| Sunlight | Soil | Water | Temperature | Fertilizer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Partial to full sunlight. | Bamboo plants also like to have fertile, slightly acidic, well drained but moist soil. | The key to watering bamboo is to water often enough and deeply enough to keep the soil moist. | 18C to 35C | Use a slow release fertilizer. |
