Bamboo Plants For Sale
The Bamboo Plant 2-3' grows prolifically when planted in zones 9-11 of the USA. This plant is native to China, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, but has become an introduced and, at times, invasive species due to its rapid and aggressive growth habit. At TN Nursery, we sell small, indoor plants for your home enjoyment.
However, if you happen to live in a warmer region of the USA, this plant will survive and thrive outside. Culms, the stems of the bamboo, can grow up to 60 feet tall. Be mindful when planting outdoors, as they can take over areas and become incredibly hard to remove.

Landscape Uses and Maintenance - Bamboo Plant
When taken care of indoors, this plant does best in an area that receives indirect light all day long. Daily misting is recommended, as the plant loves high humidity. Watering in small amounts regularly is also recommended. Enough moisture should be maintained to keep the roots moist but not soggy. This plant can be propagated either by division or by taking cuttings of the branches and propagating in water.
When planted outdoors, it prefers moist, humus-rich soils and loves humid conditions. However, this vigorous grower will tolerate a wide array of conditions. It can tolerate temperatures just below freezing and will survive periods of drought. However, long periods of drought will result in the plant defoliating. Due to its vigorous growth, it makes a fantastic erosion control installation.
