Care
When cut, this bamboo will stop growing upwards and will instead become fuller, making it a fantastic choice for a hedge. Plant your bamboo at least 4 feet apart. Do not let your bamboo sit in water as this will rot the rhizome and kill your bamboo. Bamboo is drought tolerant, but more water creates more growth. When planting your bamboo, choose a place in full sun (or partial shade) with well-draining soil.
