Bamboo has a moderate growth rate and a tendency to form dense clumps, it serves as both an ornamental and functional addition, providing privacy screens or enhancing the aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces. This bamboo variety is well-suited for various climates and is prized for its resilience and adaptability. It grows in all soil types and doesn’t mind being confined in a large container.

If it does get damaged during harsh winter, you can easily cut it down to the soil level and wait for it to resprout. It grows well in most types of soil. It thrives in sunny position, but it doesn’t mind growing in more shaded positions. It can grow up to around 5m tall with culms below 2cm in diameter. Due to its exceptionally large leaves and relatively thin culms, it has a strong weeping habit. It tolerates pruning exceptionally well.
Because of its relatively aggressive spreading, root containment is highly recommended. Unlike most Phyllostachys bamboos, its rhizomes are mostly located near the surface, making them somewhat easier to restrict.
The bamboo is also suitable for indoor environment. With enough available light, it can thrive as a houseplant.
