Description
A graceful and all-green beauty, the Graceful Bamboo, also called Slender Weavers Bamboo, is a fine, tight clumping and very erect bamboo perfect for use as a focal point specimen or to rapidly form a solid privacy screen in just a year. The foliage at the tops of the branches gracefully arch, hence the name. A very fast grower to 25 feet in just a couple years, this bamboo forms a super-tight clump of 1 inch diameter culms just a few feet wide in only two years. It’s also a nice container plant for use on patios and around other sitting areas and can be grown in well-lit indoor spaces provided the ceiling is high enough to accommodate a plant that could reach 10 to 12 feet in height. Graceful Bamboo loves as much sun as you can give her and is hardy to 15°F.
Note: We grow one crop of the clumping bamboo (Bambusa) varieties annually. Because they will not tolerate temperatures below 15 to 20 degrees F, to avoid damage to plants during transit we begin shipping these in April or May, depending on your location.

Growing Preferences
The Graceful Bamboo is very easy to grow in a moist but well drained soil and full sun to part shade. Faster growth can be expected with more sun and consistently moist soil. In quick draining soils it’s a good idea to mix in some composted organic matter such as composted cow manure and peat moss with the native soil removed from the planting hole. Mulch well to retain moisture in the soil. Feed three times a year in spring, summer and fall with a natural fertilizer, palm food, or good shrub & tree fertilizer.
How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors
Graceful Bamboo is a clumping bamboo that does not require any control to contain it. That said, the clump can grow 6 to 8 feet wide over time. If you want to contain it to a smaller area this can be done. Bamboo can be controlled in a small area simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. Bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are “shooting,” the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy. Root pruning or installing Bamboo Root Barrier are other methods to control spread.
