Growing Preferences
The Variegated Chinese Temple Bamboo is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade. Morning and evening sun are okay but provide some shade or filtered sun during the after hours for best foliage color and overall performance. Prefers a consistently moist soil but not constantly soggy or wet.
How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors
Chinese Temple Bamboo is a running bamboo, which means it spreads. Bamboo can be controlled in a small area simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. New shoots of Chinese Temple Bamboo can be used for culinary purposes and cooked, much like asparagus. Keep in mind that running bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are “shooting,” the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy. Root pruning or installing Bamboo Root Barrier are other methods to control spread.
