  • I have Bamboo (clumping variety) and disagree with the tip to plant in direct sun, they will yellow and scorch like the plant she has, that plant does not look well at all, for Bamboo! Partial shade is best, the plant should be watered well and often, should be green and succulent like a healthy lawn, not yellowed and brittle. You can place them in sun, but water them even more if you do.

  • Haha 3 weeks, I moved into a house with that bamboo in the back yard, every inch was covered, I moved out 10 yrs. latter and its still there. No matter what we did, burn the soil, dig it up. Don't plant this unless you want a bamboo forest.

  • Great video! Thanks for the advice.

  • planting the running variety in the ground inside a pot will not restrict it too long, as the roots will spread out thru the bottom drain holes and quickly spread all over under ideal conditions....aloha, forest

  • w000t i've got those bamboo keychains from DealExtreme and They are always in the dark lol...

  • IT DEPENDS ON THE SPECIES.

  • You definately shouldnt place them in direct sunlight, it slows growth... placing in soil is also a bad idea, Bamboo likes rocks, such as fish tank gravel.

  • @RromaBoi I DO want a bamboo forest. My house needs relief from the sun

  • For the most part, the "more clumpier bamboo" that she is describing do not like full direct sun. The ones that like full sun are mostly the "runners" that she is describing that take over your lawn.

  • She doesnt know what shes talking about. ALLOT of bamboos can not handle hot afternoon sun.

  • I am planning to grow bamboo in my garden and i was looking for tips for growing and taking care of bamboo i think i got it from here.Thank you
