Interest
Appropriate for well lit indoors with attractive culms, and dainty fern like foliage. I have seen Chinese Goddess Bamboo growing beautifully along the border of a large garden. Just tall enough for privacy, plus, from a high point inside the garden the view beyond is yours too.
How fast will it grow?
Our Bamboo
Growth Simulation gizmo shows you the rate of growth starting off
with a small plant. Of course, growth rate depends a lot on climate, food and
water.
Small bamboo plants are slow to get going, so starting off with a bigger
plant will get you there much faster. Also, using the gizmo will show you the
eventual, un-trimmed shape in outline for this species. |
