Caring For Bamboo

What is the optimum condition for my desk bamboo to grow? I am in a competition with my peer and after one day he has substantial growth and I do not. I have placed it under my desk for the evening because I'm afraid maybe it's getting too much light. Your advice?

You see "substantial growth" after just one day? He must be swapping for a larger plant! Bamboo grows very slowly, even with fertilizer.

RE: Caring For Bamboo

Our local Chinese restaurant has beautiful bamboo (lucky) in their restaurant. The lady told me she only puts ice cubes or crushed ice on hers for watering them. I've tried this on my puny little stems and they are staying alive so far, just not as beautiful as hers. I haven't tried fertilizer yet, but will now!

Try a little liquid fertilizer! It helps things to grow! And check and see if the other plant is being swapped out for a larger one.
