***More information requested from buyers:

Light

Black bamboo is not overly picky when it comes to light conditions. It can be grown in anything from full sun to partial shade.

Soil

Black bamboo loves nutrient-rich soil. Moist, loamy, well-draining types are ideal for optimum growth. A mix of sand, clay, and silt is a great combination, but black bamboo can adapt to many soil conditions as long as it is well-draining. To help keep your soil a healthy balance of moist and well-draining, try adding a layer of mulch around your bamboo.

Water

Black bamboo loves water and will benefit most from a consistent watering schedule. Try to keep your soil moist, but never soggy.

For bamboo plants in a container, you will need to water more frequently. Depending on the humidity and temperature in your area, you may need to water these plants as often as every other day.

Temperature and Humidity

Considered one of the hardiest bamboo species out there, black bamboo can be grown in zones 7 to 10. Despite being a tropical plant, this bamboo variety can withstand temperatures down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes black bamboo a perfect choice for northern gardeners.
