Bamboo, the fastest-growing plant in the world, has become increasingly common in home gardens, in part because it is so easy to grow. There are about 1,000 species of bamboo, many native to East Asia, but it can be grown just about anywhere as long as the proper conditions are met. In addition to being ornamental, they are becoming popular as a flooring material in the West. In the East it is used as both a food source, famously for giant pandas, and a common building material. Does this Spark an idea?

1. Sun
o Bamboo grows best in full sun or partial shade, but some varieties do best with shade during the hottest part of the day.
Watering

o
Soil
o Bamboo plants prefer a slightly acidic soil of about 6. Soil also needs to be well-drained.
Fertilizer
o A nitrogen-rich fertilizer works best with bamboo. You can fertilize monthly to promote growth.
Growing Indoors
o Bamboo is considered easy to grow inside provided the right conditions are met. Be sure to place the pot in a sunny spot and water it
