5. Place Bamboo Plants Close Together
Most plants have to be placed far enough apart to allow the roots to spread out. Bamboo plants actually grow better when they are all bunched together, so give them what they want! Crowd the bamboo shoots close to one another to cause them to grow faster.
4. Select a Spot That Has Lots of Sunshine
A few varieties of bamboo will tolerate a bit of shade, but these fast growing plants actually prefer more sun than shade. They will grow well in an area where the sun is shining nearly all day long.

3. Keep Plants Moist
The indoor bamboo plants are usually grown in rocks, marbles, or some other form of medium that isn’t as dense as soil. These plants basically are held upright by the medium and spend their lives in water. Bamboo plants do love lots of water, so keep your outdoor plants moist as well.
2. Fertilize with Lawn Fertilizer to Increase Growth
Newly planted bamboo can be fertilized often so that it gets plenty of nitrogen. A large amount of nitrogen will enable your bamboo plants to thrive. Lawn fertilizer is used because bamboo greatly resembles grass, so it responds well to this type of fertilizer.
1. Remove Canes as They Die
Bamboo canes do eventually die, so be sure to cut back any that do. This will allow new canes to appear and it will also help your bed of bamboo look nice.
