Bamboo can be a difficult plant to care for because it likes a lot of water. Here are a few great ways to care for bamboo in your house and keep that little bamboo plant alive and thriving.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Water the pot at least twice a week. If it’s planted in the dirt you may need to water more frequently. Don’t water everyday though, that could cause root rot.

  2. Step 2

    Ensure the plant gets a nice amount of sun. Bamboo, like all plants, needs good sun exposure to be able to grow. Don’t expose the plant to direct sunlight, but keep it in a brightly lit room—just not in the window seal.

  3. Step 3

    To properly care for bamboo in your house it’s important to fertilize your bamboo. The best fertilizers are those with a high nitrogen content.

  4. Step 4

    Another great way to care for your bamboo is to give it a nice little layer of mulch. This will trap the water and give your bamboo a good place to draw water from when it gets thirsty. The Mulch can also help keep the temperature stable.
