How to take care of a bamboo plant?

How do you take care of a Bamboo plant (tree)?

  • I just bought a bamboo tree. I think every bamboo tree I've ever seen has just been the plant in a vase with rocks in it. Is it eventually going to need dirt or is just fresh water and rocks okay? I'm not sure if I should put in in potting soil or not and I can't find anything online except advertisements for selling bamboo and bonsai trees. If you can provide some good websites that would be helpful too! Thank you!

  • Answer:

    Bamboo in nature grows in a moist, almost swampy environment. I would not worry about using soil, it does fine in gravel and water. Also, keep it away from windows and other sources of light. It will brown out quickly if not kept in shade.
