Bamboo Plant Care

Caring for a bamboo plant is actually quite simple. Just like any plant, bamboo plants need the 3 elements soil (nutrients) sun and water. The soil should be well draining (not too much clay) Healthy soil consists of compost and mulch. Try to keep it well aerated as they get oxygen from the air in the soil.

Watering will depend on the soil type you have. The better the soil drains the more you will have to water. If the soil contains too much clay it will hold the water longer and possibly cause the plant to drown.

A bamboo plant likes sun, some varieties more than others. But try to give your plants as much sun as possible. If you grow your bamboo plant indoors you may want to invest in a light to help them in the winter months.
