Watering: Water regularly, especially during the growing season. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Bamboo benefits from deep watering to encourage healthy root development.

Soil: Prefers well-draining soil. It thrives in rich, loamy soil with good organic matter but can adapt to a range of soil types.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and summer to promote vigorous growth and vibrant cane color.

Pruning: Prune to maintain the desired shape and size. Remove any dead or damaged canes and thin out older canes to encourage new growth. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring.
