Buddha Bamboo – Bambusoideae

A few types of bamboo can tolerate indoor conditions, though most prefer to be grown outside. Indoor bamboo takes extra TLC, but once you get the knack for growing the plant, it can be the center attraction in your houseplant world. Bamboo is very diverse; some species are airy and tall, others short and striking. The foliage ranges from a bold green to golden variegation. Bamboo needs as much light as possible when grown indoors. They do present challenges and often need to be rotated outside for a period of time to maintain good health. The margin of error is much more narrow for interior bamboo, however in areas of higher humidity, such as an atrium or greenhouse, bamboo will usually flourish.
