November 2025Bamboo Plant - Arundinaria
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 made its way around the world as 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 homely enjoyment. However, if you happen to live in a warmer region of the USA, this plant will survive and thrive outside, with culms, the stems of the bamboo, growing up to 60 ft tall. Be mindful when planting outdoors as they can take over areas and become incredibly hard to remove.

Hardiness Zones: 9–11
Light Requirement: Full sun to partial shade
Water Needs: Moderate to high
Height: 30 - 60 ft

Bloom Time: Bamboo flowers very rarely
Leaves form from the nodes of the branches and emerge in clumps of long, slender, papery foliage. Branches of the bamboo form at the nodal ring which is easily visible as it is the area that separates each section of the culm. Branches tend to only exist midway up the culm to the top of the plant.
The Bamboo Plant 2-3' can be used for a variety of purposes. It can be planted as a forest and regularly harvested for its culms to be used for construction projects. It makes a great privacy fence or hedge. And it can even be used as musical instrument. While the young shoots of this plant are edible, they are considered poor taste and are not commonly consumed.
Landscape Uses and Maintenance - Bamboo Plant 2-3'
When taking care of this plant indoors, it 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 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 outdoor, it prefers moist, humus-rich soils and loves humid conditions. However, this plant is a vigorous grower and will tolerate a wide array of conditions. It can tolerate temperatures just below freezing and it 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.
